Honestly modern China in my lifetime has been a more benevolent world player than the US by orders of magnitude. Not perfect, obviously, but at least they haven’t been starting wars or electing fascists. I’m excited for this shift.

Israel is a prominent member of the global western capitalistic hegemony, and they are escalating tensions with their genocide and attack on Iran. I wouldn’t say they’re the only ones responsible, but they do share a large portion of the blame.

Not sure you should include Gorbachev since he illegally dissolved the USSR against the will of the people.

Your comment isn’t written very well so I can’t be sure of who you’re calling xenophobic. But if you’re trying to do that thing where you conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, you can fuck right off. We’ve had that argument and your side lost.

Trump is a convicted felon, yet there was/is no political will to imprison him. The ruling class doesn’t give a shit if one of their members commits crimes or war crimes or even genocide. As long as they their ability to hoard extreme wealth is unaffected, they don’t care.

I feel like the narrative that Bibi is just doing this to stay out of jail ignores that the majority of Israeli’s approve of what he’s doing and would not seek a jail term for him, let alone the fact that the rest of the Israeli government would not prosecute. I’d be glad to be wrong, but it feels like blaming one bad apple just lets Zionism as a whole off the hook.

Will he go to prison? Seems like the majority of Israelis approve of what he’s doing.

What an anemic headline. How did she become detained? By an act of piracy and kidnapping in international waters. CNN is a tool of the oligarchs.

General Infantry. I believe it’s a classification in the US Army, but it basically just means soldier.

Yeah that makes sense. I guess once people get used to ranked voting in large elections, then you could have it in small elections too. Thanks for the reply.

Ranked choice is still better though… scale doesn’t really matter here, the point is to let people vote for who they want, not for who they think might win.

Socialism or barbarism, indeed.
