  • To play devil’s advocate, leahy law;

    …prohibits the U.S. Department of State and Department of Defense from providing military assistance to foreign security force units that violate human rights with impunity.

    But the fact that Israel is a democracy, suggests there are reprocessions, eg. Netenyahu could lose the election, and even face reprocessions from the next elected leader. So that’s not acting “with impunity”.

    Israel has taken measures to make their genocide look considered (eg. Dropping flyers, naming bombing targets)… And to some extent, anyone wanting to claim they’re acting woth impunity (although it’s highly unlikely they’ll ever see reprocessions) - will have similar issues to those faced at Nuremberg, where the US didn’t want to invent laws to accuse them of being guilty of or having violated (as that would look like a kangaroo court, or future crime)…

    …and unfortunately, due to the US having it’s own patchy human rights record, they avoid being a signatatory to international courts like The Hague.

    So yeah, your claim wouldn’t be substantiated. It’s not that simple, you may as we’ll be claiming we can “reform our way our of Capitalism”… That’s a nice idea (as Leahy Law is), but they’re just not practically applicable.

    Which is why I directed people to the “Rules for Rulers” video (by CPG grey), because it explains these basics to Socialists who basically live in these fantasy land conceptions of politics.

    Of course fantasy land conceptions get upvotes, reality checks get downvotes, it’s a great system, designed to cause mental stagnation and “apathy through idealism” in the masses.



  • That vote was made in the Obama era. There’s a 35 billion dollar funding scheme for Israel that’s bin full swing.

    Stopping it would require a lot of changes across multiple stratas of government and legal procedures.

    … it’s not as simple as “the president” or “the party” can just stop a long term international set of contracts across industries and government agencies and departments.

    The video “Rules for Rulers” by YouTuber CPGGrey covers some of this.










  • All powerful me who you can attack rather than try to convince. A microcosm for your general approach of yelling. Your goals and demands, kept vague at best.

    I doubt you even know what you’re asking for.

    There’s a timeline to installing trans rights, it requires adjustments to the Supreme Court.

    But I’m aware that you’re not thinking that far ahead in a planned or tactical manner, and your plans are: be loud, make demands, be radical.

    But you’ve not actually outlined much more than that, so there’s nothing to debate with you.

    Good day, good luck with your imaginary bus, and me as the all powerful deity controlling who gets pushed under.

    No idea what you’re on about unfortunately, but you seem very vocal about whatever it is.

    [Edit: No, I get it, you want to create a polemic against Trump’s obvious lies, treating them as if they’re worth addressing rather than let him melt under the scrutiny of the general population https://i.redd.it/m2pzcfjk77md1.png… But that’s not necessary. Let’s not make his lies into a false balance situation. Just let him look foolish instead.]
