  • The fact that this is still contentious for Americans goes to show how far gone they are. Liberal democrats just can’t seem to fathom the basic reality of what you’re saying, they’re so focused on aesthetics and “we need a mixed race woman president” over “we need to fix wealth inequality.” It’s about as brain dead as MAGA but with virtue signalling, “Yeah I support Israel, no it’s not a genocide, rich people earned that money fair and square, and have no influence on our democracy” meanwhile they put on a rainbow flag badge on Pride month and say “I’m a progressive, and I support protesters (so long as they’re not disruptive.)”











  • I know, which is why Americans are fucked. They don’t even have a shared history, let alone reality or morals. I mean, most Americans don’t know about how the police dropped bombs on Philadelphia in 1985, let alone even protest or start a riot over it. 341 million Americans agreed not to riot over that one.

    I also struggle to see how “Africans are to blame for global warming” the same way Americans are to blame for their own countrymen’s actions.

    EDIT - Just to add, I find it intriguing that you’re so quick to blame Africans for the sake of a strawman argument. Not a good look, kinda looks American.

    Quite rich using a human shield when for the last year the term “human shield” has been an excuse to destroy that shield for the purpose of destroying the target. If say someone were to drop a 2000lb bomb on them, it would be Musks fault for using a human shield, right?




  • Then Trump will be legally allowed to invade the hague.

    “The United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The American Service-Members’ Protection Act authorizes the President of the United States to use “all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court”. This authorization led to the act being nicknamed “The Hague Invasion Act”,[4] since the act would allow the president to order military action in The Hague, the seat of the ICC, to prevent American or allied officials and military personnel from being prosecuted or detained by the ICC.[5]”

    EDIT - While I realize this doesn’t apply to sanctions, it still sets a scary precedent for checking USA’s actions.
