Let me bite, although you know this:

Trump is spelling outloud and with no shame that he endorses the genocide that Natanyahu's Israel has committed. Biden and Harris have spoken softly and with reserve but have materially and militarily enabled this genocide.

Soft fascism is still fascism.

Nobody sent out a memo yet to say that ISIL are the good guys now. Wait a few days and they will all be on the same page.

NATO has already established precedent for such interventions in Kosovo but we are not even talking about that against Israel. We are actively supporting them and aiding the genocide. That was my original point which triggered you so much.

Every US intervention has resulted in a vassal state that does what it’s told and our (USA) companies are getting favorable terms!

Yeah, i see you are bought into it. So please explain to me like I’m 5 why do you care enough about Ukrainian children to want to defend them at all costs, including our total mutual destruction, but not about children of Gaza to go to war against Israel to protect them?

Finally I feel like I’m breaking through! Neoliberal doctrine of the last 40 years has nothing to do with liberty or human rights but everything with imperialism.

I have enormous sympathy and respect for Ukrainian people but I feel it only appropriate to call out neoliberal imperialism for what it is. I have lived long enough to have seen “enduring freedom”, “merciful angel”, “iraqi freedom” etc. and to have seen the long term impact and the resulting profit

All the proxy wars that are happening right now are connected but we are digressing. Let’s stick to the point I am making which is that morality is an absolute value and not something that you apply when it fits your current goals.
November 30, 2024 at 10:20 AM
You really have missed the point i was making, which is that you cannot be calling for humanitarian intervention in UA and at the same time enable IS to commit genocide AND be morally consistent.

Labeling is one of the laziest forms of argument and typically used by people who look into the mirror and don’t like what they see. Enjoy riding your high horse as you won’t learn anything from our exchange

It is not whataboutism to point out a hypocrisy of pretending to care for a cause that is aligned to your strategic interests but at the same time allow and abate unspeakable atrocity of an ally. humanism is a universal value and not isolated to a point of discussion that signals our virtue.

Serbia enters the chat.
Point is, if ICC does not act against Israel, it surely must release Bosnian Serb leadership and compensate Milošević family for imprisoning a democratically elected leader.

They fell for the same trap you did: This is a class struggle disguised as a culture war. Until lines are clearly drawn in this struggle, grifters like Trump and Faridge will continue to blow smoke over mirrors.

Why is Ukraine a must-support but Gaza isn't?
Are human rights universal, or is there a formula which we apply to make them important in one situation and not relevant in another?

Before y'all get too excited, the planets are 6x and 14x the size of our Jupiter and therefore very unlikely to host life remotely resembling anything found on Earth
