I hate to say I told you so, but I earlier this week I said the ICC a neocolonial imperialist institution employs selective justice. Turns out the .today and .worlders were wrong again.

US saw all the other countries walk out and thought it would have the same effect when they do it. Pathetic.

You already know why, because it is and was designed to be used as neocolonial imperialist tool. I am not against the concept of an ICC but not one that was developed for these reasons and not one that allows the US and Israel to steer it. I don’t think it can be reformed as its foundations are rotten. Same thing with police in the US.

Many non-Western countries, particularly in Asia, have historically been hesitant to join the ICC due to concerns about sovereignty and potential interference in domestic affairs. And their concerns have been validated. That’s why some countries are making efforts to form regional human rights courts.

I’ve said this before, it’s selective justice, that it’s victors’ justice. Powerful states and their allies are effectively shielded while weaker states and leaders who lose wars or fall out of favor get prosecuted. Just look at the The ICC’s own docket. There’s an asymmetry of power here. The court can only act where states allow it, they are not neutral and the ICC is used as a weapon.

It’s about maintaining appearances and the thin veneer of legitimacy for those gullible enough to fall for it. Same reason why the U.S. sent aid to Palestinians while helping Israel bomb them.

As far as Trump’s motivations, he is a dementia patient motivated by greed and narcissism. Most of the things he does makes no sense at all. He has beef with the ICC, now they are his enemy. It’s not that deep. There’s a reason people call him Comrade Trump, because he is actively destroying the US empire and I honestly welcome it.

Because he is a toddler who cries about everything, even the court’s symbolic authority.

The ICC is a joke, I welcome dismantling it, it is a selective justice organization and lacks enforcement of its findings. Neither Israel nor the United States is a party to the Rome Statute, meaning the ICC holds no direct jurisdiction over them. The arrest warrant for Netanyahu was completely symbolic. ICC has and always intended to be a tool of neocolonial oppression in the hands of imperialists.

Job: Italian

it’s bait for the nazi sympathizers to reveal themselves so they can catch a ban

just gonna post the same comment I made last time this was posted:

the lemmyworlds and their orbiters are gonna be upset about this one

Yet still, you are defending those who carried them out by trying to paint them as uwu ignorant smol beans who didn’t know any better. You’re doing the part of propaganda on behalf of the US trying to sanitize these monsters.

You don’t know what I do and don’t do and who I do and don’t know. I’ll continue to celebrate US soldier deaths and you can keep pathetically mourning these white supremacist tools of destruction.

US soldiers are not “uwu smol beans” just trying to get free healthcare.

They don’t deserve praise or sympathy for doing their job, which is to further the goals of US imperialists. They deserve accountability and scorn for every drone strike. Every blown up family. Every fucking village they’ve reduced to ash. They are not precious victims. They are the boot on the neck of the world. They are the monsters the children of the global south wake up to at night in terror.

Same, mine shits outside. I was joking, but you’re right there loads of people that just let them shit inside.

aw man you’re really missing out on your robot vacuum spreading your dog’s feces all over your home.

Alright you’re annoying I’m just blocking you.

It’s not the “hitler font”, Blackletter is a giant category of typefaces usually used to invoke a old english, medieval, or gothic aesthetic. This one is Canterbury. You’re thinking of Fraktur, Futura (not blackletter), and Tannenberg most likely as those were actually used by the Nazi party with Fraktur actually banned by them at some point.

Doing what must be done.

You love to see it, thanks for making an oasis in the hellscape that is the internet.

You know whoever had one of these bad bois in their home in the late 1500s was considered cool as fuck
