The people who stand to lose the most in a situation will always act with the highest clarity and urgency. It's true in general that we must save ourselves and can't expect the ruling classes of other nations to step in to stop even the highest crime against humanity.

At the end of the day, the global ruling class is self-interested and only acts against that when there comes to be very few alternatives. That said, the discontent around the world is growing and it's only a matter of time until it reaches a tipping point.

As for the non-west, nobody wants to start a war or draw the ire of the west without having much capacity to change what is happening. That's my speculative opinion, at least. At this point I'd ask someone more knowledgeable on global politics to chime in.

no more fake than October 7th

wow, what a great time to bring this article up https://electronicintifada.net/content/how-israel-killed-hundreds-its-own-people-7-october/49216

The war machine generates power and wealth by wreaking devastation onto far away lands, then uses that power and wealth to create more war. Netanyahu is and has always been powerless without the international community enabling him. Israel and its colonial project are wholly western inventions. The western nations backing Israel wouldn't suddenly shut it down now that it is executing its intended purpose while also absorbing most if not all the generated backlash. Not without major resistance.

It's a touchy subject. Pretty understandably, I might add.

I don't think nukes (re: literally triggering armageddon) would ever seriously be on the table so I don't really care to argue that point either way. It's satire, I took it as hyperbole.

tbh I was really only going off the down votes

but also, uno reverse! I was also being unserious!

It's not about "taking the assholes out". It's about showing the Israeli government officials, and the constituents who are actually able to pressure those officials and exert collective power, that you can't just indiscriminately murder people without inciting the exact same violence onto your own people. As long as bombs are falling, why should they be contained to the side that is completely powerless to stop them?

You can't just suggest kim jong un is tying people to rockets and launching them into oceans like a cartoon villain and expect to be taken seriously

I think they're alluding to the idea that xi's picture with the uyghurs is a fabrication, like the blonde lady is a paid extra to make putin appear friendlier to women or something

I'm not certain the first is the same as the others either... they just cherry picked images that had a blonde middle aged slavic woman standing in putin's vicinity

One that wants to recruit more fascists and fascist sympathizers?

Yeah, we all know the nazis only became fascists the day they killed their first victims. All those nazi propagandists and theorists were actually blameless because they didn't personally assault anyone publicly, which is famously the only form of violence.
