  • By that criterion, Xi Jinping and the Iranians are also complicit in Ukrainian genocide

    idk what made you think this would be a gotcha moment. this logic is actually very consistent with Albanese’s, any world leaders complicit in genocide should be punished.

    I agree Trump should be tried by the ICC as long as you maintain this logical consistency for Biden, who was the first after Oct 7 to mainstream this narrative that Israel is justified in ethnically cleansing Palestine because “all Palestinians are Hamas dontcha know, Jack?”

    you seem to have fallen victim to the logical fallacy that claims you can’t focus on more than one big thing at a time.


  • Talking with a Nazi, does not make you a Nazi.

    no it does not, but agreeing with them and being one of their biggest global supporters does.

    you’re trying to paint Ursula as a neutral figure, which is the opposite of her track record on Israel.

    she’s not just being acused of diplomatic relations with Israel, but for bolstering the genocidal propaganda that blames Palestinians for their own extermination which is exactly what a Nazi would do. also for materially providing the weapons of extermination to Israel even though they’re the aggressor and aren’t in need of financial support.

    Not exactly the sort of stuff happening in a genocide.

    so you’re just a straight up genocide denier, got it. Israel flattening Gaza and erasing entire cities from existence is an example of Israeli restraint and humanitarianism, I assume.

    Von der Leyen is not a country, so the ICJ has jurisdiction over her.

    my bad, there was indeed a complaint filed against her at the ICC, which Albanese seems to be referencing. I think she’s right in saying that the ICC should do more even though it would diverge from their normative record because these are extreme circumstances.

    Most of those were related to Israel blocking food into Gaza, which von der Leyen actively opposed.

    you can’t claim she opposes the withholding of humanitarian aid while at the same time arming the IDF to make it impossible for the humanitarian convoys to go into Gaza. also the IDF bombing said convoys.

    that’s like claiming that you couldn’t have possibly known that promoting friendly relations with China and promoting more intense economic cooperation would lead to more Uyghurs ending up in forced labor camps or being ethnically cleansed.
















  • let’s say I’m reading an article on communism and the sources provided by Wikipedia come from Marx while llama regurgitates answers from US conservatives on Reddit telling me that communism is when no iPhone and you have state dictatorship.

    even if I can’t access the source in the moment, I can still tell that Wikipedia at least attempts to follow the scientific method. just knowing the name of the source tells me what useless junk to skip.

    oh, and I could go to the library and ask them if they have my source available.
