You better cooperate with us to help us save you!

Save us from what?

From what we're gonna do to you if you don't cooperate.

The more I learn to try and see the world as a collection of people just doing what they need to trying to survive, perchance to thrive, the more absolutely comic book evil the bad guys seem. "Oh, I can see why you would want nukes after seeing how America renegs on their deals." vs "I am literally fascism incarnate and its not subtle."

I'm nobody from nowhere doing nothing, but I have spent so many hours whittling away a sense of humor, political philosophy, multiple novels, and interpersonal relationships believing that people's actions are usually internally consistent and grounded in their material base. You know how much I hate the concept of a bad guy? Not to mention I took a collegiate level class on the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. What an unhinged lunatic. The Zionist entity has no qualms endangering peace for untold millions with war crimes that we collectively decided in the wake of two of the bloodiest conflicts the world has ever seen were too fucked up. For what? For cheap Gazan labor in an open air prison?

I just hope justice is real.

Justice is something we as a collective create for ourselves.

I said a bit tongue in cheek a few days ago that Israel was trying to get a second genocide case at the ICJ, but now it's almost sure it's going to happen

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

And of course the conclusion Western powers will come to is that clearly the ICJ must be malfunctioning

Is this fairly unprecedented? What I mean is sure many leaders in last 20 years have threatened conflict and stuff, but like directly posting on social media that they’ll utterly destroy a country and murder civilians as punishment if they don’t get what they want?

I’m sure Bush said some stuff in the 9/11 GWOT years and Russia does its veiled threat thing here and there, Iran talks vaguely of destroying great satans once and a while but this is like a specific threat of annihilation to a civilian population.

Like usually the threats are couched in metaphors, I guess, and this is clearly non-metaphorical.
