But does "conservative" to you just mean violent, repressive, and pro-authoritarian?

I'm against all those things, and I think Stalin and Hitler have a lot in common despite Stalin being "left" and "Hitler" being right, but I dont see how it serves you to call everyone who acts violently and unjustifiably towards their people a conservative.

    The UN is in New York. So no, unfortunately, I don't think it's gonna happen. Even if it did, Trump would just pull out.

    The other countries will have to make a new one if they want to agree on things. Call it something Trump won't want to join. Like the committee for free and open trade. And build it up from there. Claim humanitarian issues hinder trade. It's true.

    Something tells me the image of the ICC faxing things to people in the name of justice will stick. But they'll probably just use Proton Mail or something.

    The idea that to serve on this court, you have to face sanctions, might scare away a lot of judges, but the ones who still choose to do it will know exactly what they're doing this for.

    It's why I stopped using Reddit. I couldn't take it anymore. Every thread about Israel was full of people pulling every trick in the book to defend genocide.

    I was sick of it and make a sarcastic comment that we should "kill all Iranians" and got banned for three days. I've had enough.
