Throwing my #1 Dad mug in the garbage because I won't drink out of a lie.

Hopefully the next time they think about murdering someone they'll pause to consider this.

It's a few weeks old, so I'm not sure if it was posted previously, but I just saw it on another forum and thought it was too interesting not to share:

This interview with John Mearsheimer is interesting. It's unusual to hear such a clear eyed understanding of the world from someone who is ultimately in favor of Western hegemony.

I also thought it was interesting that even someone who's view on international relations was that the Ukraine war and Gaza genocide should stop because they're counterproductive when maintaining US hegemony is best achieved by concentrating our resources against China, still said that the Gaza genocide was also morally indefensible and that he couldn't vote for either major party candidate because he didn't support Trump but that genocide was a red line.

This "do whatever it takes to maintain Western power" guy has more moral fortitude than the majority of rank and file Democrats.

My final thought was damn, Germany sucks.

Francis if you excommunicate all the genocidaires I will immediately renounce atheism and become a Catholic, to the delight of my dear departed granny Edith (my great grandmother's name changed to protect the innocent, AKA, me) (and the endless frustration of my evangelical mother who had a "prophetic vision" that I would one day return to Christianity, but who considers Catholics to be crypto pagans.)

Send his ass straight to hell Frankie

Seen a lot of videos of Israeli tourists in Japan screaming at locals protesting the genocide.

The obviously takeaway is that they act like they own the place everywhere in the world, but a secondary thought I had: are there an unusually high number of Japanese pro-Palestine protests? Like versus other countries? Or do Israelis just love visiting there?

Israel has been worried about war crimes prosecution and actively subverting icc investigations.

They also sought to convince the prosecutor that, despite the Israeli military’s highly questionable record of investigating wrongdoing in its ranks, it had robust procedures for holding its armed forces to account.

This was a critical issue for Israel. A core ICC principle, known as complementarity, prevents the prosecutor from investigating or trying individuals if they are the subject of credible state-level investigations or criminal proceedings.

Israeli surveillance operatives were asked to find out which specific incidents might form part of a future ICC prosecution, multiple sources said, in order to enable Israeli investigative bodies to “open investigations retroactively” in the same cases.

They've been spying on the court to find out what cases are going to be prosecuted and then pretending that they were already prosecuting those specific cases themselves.

An esoteric crystal theosophist fascist is still a fascist.

Sure Shanin, tell us about the root races. Which one is the best one? What is the eye and hair color of the tall, pale humanoid alien that your special starseed soul comes from?

saruman-orb's get the barbara-pit too.

Journalists were prosecuted at the Nuremberg trials.

Haven't seen this discussed here, sorry if it was mentioned a few days back or something:

Apparently a zionist group chat (well, at least two, one for creatives, one for lawyers) in Australia was organizing harassment campaigns against people who publicly supported Palestine and one of their members was disgusted enough to leak their chat logs to one of the targets. The group chat required everyone to use real names as display names so when the target made the logs publicly available, the group chat members' names were exposed.

Australia is now passing a law to ban doxxing.

According to Israel's stupid "9/11s as a fraction of total population" we're at 363 9/11s inflicted on Gaza at this point.
