  • So what? We should still stand for international law.

  • We should care because we should stand for international law.

  • Iran sucks. Still shouldn't be illegally attacked in violation of the UN Charter.

  • You don't have to care about the victim of an illegal war of aggression. You just have to be against illegal wars of aggression.

  • The article feels like it's written by ChatGPT.

  • Timothy Snyder has talked about how anti-Semitism is going to be the weapon of choice for one faction of Trump's court as they position themselves for the post trump transition. JD Vance will pin all of Trump's crazy shit on Miller and then try to pin Miller on Rubio. Don't be surprised if "Israel is responsible for our imperial decline" becomes the post-MAGA "stab in the back theory" of the 2030s... That's why these fuckers LOATHE progressive anti-Zionist Jews like JVP.

  • Oil is last century's energy source. China has shown the solar path forward. It's just that the US petro/auto-oligarchy cannot fathom any kind of transition.

    Trump is not directly controlled by anyone. There's nobody behind the curtain. He's a narcissist being manipulated by Netanyahu (and Putin, and Orban and any other autocrat he looks up to), and who has surrounded himself with a court of amoral grifters with conflicting agendas. He does shit like this not because he has a plan but because it gives him a high, it makes him feel powerful and them he gets bored again.

  • What's embarrassing is simping for Trump's and Bibi's illegal wars.

  • Hezbollah attacked the sovereign UK base, not the Republic of Cyprus.

  • May your remaining bombs be duds and then you run out.

  • Iran supported the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine. So I guess this makes them even?

  • Is Sanchez bringing European social democracy back from the dead or what?

  • Nah. All it takes is investment and commitment to treating electricity like a utility beyond the profit imperative. Look at what China is doing with sodium-ion batteries.

  • You mean the last five years during which, the WHO, a major UN agency played a key role in coordinating the international response to a global pandemic?

    Or the last five years during which the WFP, another major UN agency has prevented starvation for millions of people, in places like Sudan and Yemen, and was instrumental in the Ukraine Grain deal?

    Or are you talking about the UNCHR, aiding about 120 million refugees? Or maybe UNICEF, that manages the immunization of nearly half of all human children?

    Is the UN perfect? No. Would the world be better without it? Fuck no.

    If daydreaming is what keeps the world from turning into a hellscape, well daydream on brother.

  • A, a, a, a, careful there. Read what I actually wrote, I was very careful. I said "people ascribe tropes". I didn't talk about what people are, I talked about what tropes they ascribe.

    At this point, I don't think I have anything else to discuss with you. Toodles.

  • Sigh. Multiple things can be true simultaneously. Israel doesn't represent all Jews. Israel doesn't have to represent all Jews for people to ascribe to it classic antisemitic tropes. Calling out those antisemitic tropes because perpetuating them hurts all Jews is not spreading Israeli propaganda.

    It's not that hard.

    • The Bloods and the Crips do not represent black culture. They don't have to represent black culture for people to ascribe to them classic anti-black racist tropes. Calling out those racist tropes because perpetuating them hurts all black people is not doing gang propaganda.
    • TERFs do not represent all feminist politics. They don't have to represent all feminist politics for people to ascribe to them classic sexist tropes. Calling out those sexist tropes because perpetuating them hurts all women is not transphobic propaganda.

    I can keep going. This is the kind of hair splitting you need to be able to do if you want to call yourself educated.
