I gotta say, Brazil vetoing Venezuela’s admission to the BRICS is really disappointing. Glad to see the other BRICS members aren’t taking that as a signal to avoid making their own deals.
/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

Both Hamas and Hezbollah have popular support from their constituencies and are functionally their own governments. It doesn’t matter if they’re good guys or not, they’re the ones who have the mandate of the people. Israel’s murder spree only increases support for the Axis of Resistance.
The one bright side of Trump’s victory is this stupid bullshit will end.
America won’t like that.
… Unless you’re going to tell me her campaign was somehow unaware of this fairly widely published IMEU poll.
They were in a bubble of other blue-no-matter-who media and were assured by the consultants from Clinton’s campaign and the Labour Party that they could ignore those polls.
So really, it would have taken a big enough push from the public that MSNBC became anti-genocide. Hypothetically it could have happened, but the Democratic base is too disorganized to pull that kind of bottom-up messaging coup off.
If Democrats knew they’d lose for supporting genocide,.they wouldn’t have done it. It’s precisely because blue-no-matter-who voters convinced them that they were invincible that they ended up losing. They thought they could bully the base into voting for them because enough of the base was willing to be bullied and proud of it.
On the other side, Trump is more likely to lose the war on Palestine.
Israel is destroying the UN, what are you talking about? They aren’t just evil,. they’re blatantly violating all international laws and attacking UN peace keepers and declaring UN agencies to be terrorist organizations.
If Israel does not face consequences for what it is doing then the UN will go the way of the League of Nations.
To quote Mao:
When we discuss the terms ‘front’ and ‘rear’ it must be remembered, that while guerrillas do have bases, their primary field of activity is in the enemy’s rear areas. They themselves have no rear.
The guerilla must move among people as a fish swims in the sea. While you say we only face poor outcomes, I see this as a strategic opportunity. I’m in the enemy’s rear, in the heart of its operations. Right where I need to be.
I’m in the heart of the empire.
I’m right where I need to be.
Empires can not be improved, they can only collapse or be destroyed.
Count your blessings!
I hope you have a gun.
The US empire is an ongoing environmental and humanitarian disaster.
That’s called multipolarity.
I’m trans in a red state. I am not safe.
I just recognize that the US is a blight and must be destroyed, and that one candidate is more likely to result in the US’s defeat.
That’s more of a silver lining, though.
Can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs!
He could also destroy the US, which would be a dramatic improvement for the rest of the world.
Objectively speaking, the US nuking itself would solve a lot of the world’s problems.
Mostly I’m just being flippant as a way to cope with a very real fear that I am going to die.
The IDF are known torturers and murderers, any testimony from the people they interrogate is essentially worthless as evidence.
The NLRB is dead in the water.
Looks like wildcats are back on the table!
