  • Americans don’t recognize the ICC when US military are the defandents…

    The United States signed the 1999 Rome Statute but it never ratified the treaty, taking the position that the International Criminal Court (ICC) lacks fundamental checks and balances.[1] The American Service-Members’ Protection Act of 2002 further limited US involvement with the ICC. The ICC reserves the right of states to prosecute war crimes, and the ICC can only proceed with prosecution of crimes when states do not have willingness or effective and reliable processes to investigate for themselves.

    It’s like with Netenyahu, someone has to comply and arrest them and take them to court, even then it’s debatable if the court would hold them for trial.






  • but I have to say the way you talk, you seem like you yourself has been brainwashed by Far Left Dominating parties in your country, who are brainwahsed into thinking that no one other than them has free press.

    What?

    You think “far left” Americans think America has a free press?

    That’s completely out of touch with reality.

    But I’m always curious about other people’s points of view:

    As the mod of a far right religious and ethnic nationalist community in India, what do you consider “far left”? Is it just the belief that people are equal regardless of ethnicity, religion, or “caste”?

    Would those beliefs be extreme to you?

    What specifically are the “far left” beliefs that you think are so terrible? Because my assumption is your about to complain about far right authoritian governments like Russia and China…

    Quick edit:

    The community

    https://lemmy.world/c/HindutvaTalks@lemmy.ml

    The sidebar:

    This is a community that aims to promote Hindu Heritage and Hindu Nationalism.

    Openly advocating for a religious ethnostate…

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindutva

    Since the mid-2010s, there has been a notable increase in violence motivated by Hindutva ideology, particularly towards Muslims,[217] and includes acts of extremist terroristic violence.[218][219][220] This has principally been perpetrated by or has implicated members, or alleged members, of Hindu nationalist organisations such as the RSS or Abhinav Bharat.[221][222][223] The violence has also been condoned by the BJP politicians and used as an electoral strategy to garner support from the far-right Hindu population

    It’s literally part of the Wikipedia segment of fascism…


  • In normal times, the GOP nominee, Matt Van Epps, would be considered a shoo-in. But after Democrats stormed to victory in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere earlier this month – bringing with it evidence that voters who had backed the president were changing their minds – the party and its allies have poured money into the campaign of state representative Aftyn Behn, hoping to pull off what would amount to a coup.

    A big reason we’re making these gains, is the DNC spent a decade stealing donations from state parties via the “victory fund” and as soon as Martin took DNC chair, he started the biggest redistribution of funds from the DNC to state parties.

    Neoliberals were just not fighting in a lot of places, which is the only reason Republicans have the House.

    Not trying to downplay the gains we’ve made, just saying there’s a fundamental reason why, and it’s logical to keep expecting it to pay off not just here but in midterms too. Pretty much every state has been operating at campaign levels for 9 months now. We’re putting in a shit ton of groundwork already, while Republicans are gonna keep doing the 3-5 month mad dash before elections.






  • Still not a “big” one…

    I think it was late 1800s America got hit by one that allowed unpowered telegrams to be sent nationwide for like, a while. If we got one that strong in the modern era, it would blow every single electric transformer on that entire hemisphere. Not just hit the safety and cut out, like actually explode and be permanently destroyed.

    Those things are already difficult to produce for multiple reasons, and losing them on that scale would take over a decade to recover. And it would obviously happen in the wealthiest places first, and global demand would mean other places can’t afford to replace any from normal breakage, along with driving up the price of a lot of materials used for other electronics.

    We won’t see it coming either. Like, the article says we’re predicting more the next few days, but that’s because these are always happening, and when there’s one big one, there’s likely to be other big ones.

    It’s one of those things you can’t unlearn once you realize we’re at a constant risk of something that would basically ruin society. At least it’s a coin flip if it hits anywhere specific when it happens. Because eventually it will happen





  • Basically it’s people saying:

    Prove it

    Because the government cant/won’t say how they are so sure it’s him

    Couple that with how the wealthy never face consequences in our justice system due to their ability to pay money to lawyers.

    And the fact that people want this to be decided by the letter of the law isn’t extreme by any means, it’s literally the point of law. And why people are (rightfully) outraged that they’re trying to include terrorism charges.

    It’s just the cops fucked up so much, they’re not going to be able to legally prove anything.

    It’s OJ all over again


  • NYC is covered with cell snoopers…

    Very very accurate snoopers, if he had a cell phone they’d have done that quickly without a warrant. And once they had his number from that, they could track him anywhere.

    It’s also one of the highest camera densities in the world, if there wasn’t a phone then they likely tapped into every camera and ran facial recognition, again without a warrant.

    But that’s just the stuff we know about. A CEO was shot on the street, that’s too close for the oligarchs so I wouldn’t be surprised if they got the government to use the top secret shit that’s supposed to just be for terrorists. Stuff we couldn’t even think of, but might hear about a decade from now once it’s no longer state of the art.
