I hate the relatively recent trend to discredit all efforts aimed at establishing some sort of global legislation.
Like everything the UN and WHO and ICC did since WW2 is “woke”.
It’s worse than being conservative (which, literally, means you want to preserve the status quo). They want to undo things. They want to go back 100 years.
They’re reactionaries.
They’re profiteers.
They want it so there’s no rules to prevent you from taking advantage of situations, especially poorer countries that can’t fight back or have no bigger gangster country extracting protection resources from them, and no consequences. Basically the colonialist attitudes and banana republics of the late 18- early 1900s.
Oh sure.
It’s largely reactionary resentment about loss of cultural supremacy stirred up by the ultra-wealthy as a way to get the government to let them do whatever they want in exchange for letting the lower-status conservatives take out their anger against people they hate.
Looking at recent events, let’s start calling it geneva suggestion
a strongly worded suggestion
Anyone who is capable of getting themslves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
Vote Zaphod Beeblebrox.
If you weren’t dragged kicking and screaming into the oval office, you’re probably too full of yourself to be good at it.
I might make an exception for Carter, though his unwillingness to be a bastard was problematic in its own way.
I’m sorry, but Americans need to confront the reality of their presidency. And as an Australian we are still seeing the effects of Carters horrible policies play out in our region.
Carter was responsible for funding and doubling the amount of weapons sold to Indonesia during the genocide in East Timor. And his administration enabled the ongoing human rights abuses of many SEA US funded dictatorships.
yeah, unfortunately the answer that feels morally correct is often not the politically correct one.
Do we have a term for people who violate the Geneva Conventions in times of peace? Some new “twelfth circle of hell” type of moniker.
