rule-based order vs. international law

invadiamo Panama, la Groenlandia e seppelliamo i palestinesi sotto un tappeto di bombe.

E noi europei a leccargli il culo.

OKKEY

A questo punto si spera che questo sia il solito circo di distrazione di massa per altre inculate un po' più piccole, visto che nessuno pare svegliarsi e siamo ancora all'enorme emergenza sostituzione etnica per colpa della teoria ggender mentre si pagherà il canone 90 Euro, si pagherà di più il diesel e sono riusciti pure a peggiorare la Fornero.

l'idea di rule-based order di certi paesi non è altro che un double dangerous standard

This evening, Israeli residents set fire twice to the perimeter of the UNRWA Headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem.

This took place while UNRWA and other UN Agencies’ staff were on the compound.

While there were no casualties among our staff, the fire caused extensive damage to the outdoor areas. The UNRWA headquarters has on its grounds a petrol and diesel station for the Agency’s fleet of cars.

Our director with the help of other staff had to put out the fire themselves as it took the Israeli fire extinguishers and police a while before they turned up.

A crowd accompanied by armed men were witnessed outside the compound chanting “Burn down the United Nations” (see video below 👇 from Israeli media).

This is an outrageous development. Once again, the lives of UN staff were at a serious risk.

In light of this second appalling incident in less than a week, I have taken the decision to close down our coumpound until proper security is restored.

Over the past two months, Israeli extremists have been staging protests outside the UNRWA compound in Jerusalem, called by an elected member of the Jerusalem municipality.

This week, the protest became violent when demonstrators threw stones at UN staff and at the buildings of the compound.

Over the past months, UN staff have regularly been subjected to harassment and intimidation. Our compound has been seriously vandalized and damaged.

On several occasions, Israeli extremists threatened our staff with guns.

It is the responsibility of the State of Israel as an occupying power to ensure that United Nations personnel and facilities are protected at all times.

UN staff, premises and operations should be protected at all times in line with international law.

I call on all those who have influence to put an end to these attacks and hold all those responsible accountable.

The perpetrators of these attacks must be investigated and those responsible must be held accountable.

Anything less will set a new dangerous standard.

-Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner general of UNRWA

I feel like if Chujin was still alive during the events of Undertale Yellow, his and Clover's relationship would be incredibly rocky. Pacifist!Clover could bring him around to tolerating them (after all, they have that sort of effect on everyone), but it would be more in a "this human is the only 'good' human" manner than a "maybe I should reevaluate my opinions on humans overall because you can't judge an entire group based off (very biased) stories and one bad experience." Even then, that opinion would be subject to change should Clover ever get frustrated or behave "too aggressively" or act in any manner that isn't perfectly docile. If Clover ends up attacking a monster then it's "humans are just as horrible as they were in the war stories, I should've known better" regardless of the circumstances that could've pushed Clover to fight. Suffocating expectations and endless demands for patience when he wouldn't ask the same of a fellow monster.

And heaven forbid he ever meet Clover on a No Mercy Run...

Si si gioie... e gli stessi discorsi per il mandato contro Putin?

Che poi... appunto... l'occidente contro Putin... l'occidente contro Israele... Con la volontà dell'occidente, a far finire la guerra in Palestina ci vuole un attimo, quindi il processo in teoria si potrebbe anche fare. Non siete nemmeno forti con i deboli e deboli con i forti. Siete proprio dei chiagne e fotte.

Allora forse il problema non è la ICC o l'ONU, il problema è chi si appella al rule-based order per esportare "pace e democrazia" e poi ci piscia sopra (al diritto internazionale, alla pace e alla democrazia, anche quella di casa).

Sono vecchio abbastanza per ricordare quando la Corte Penale Internazionale è stata istituita. Non mille anni fa, nel 2002.

Era finita la guerra dei Balcani. C'era da mettere al gabbio Karadzic e Milosevic e un po' di altri che se lo erano ampiamente meritato. Io ero allora radicale e ricordo il nostro entusiasmo, e l'impegno che, nel suo piccolo, il Partito Radicale aveva messo per arrivare a questo risultato. Sembrava l'alba di una nuova era, una in cui i conflitti si sarebbero decisi con delle sentenze e non delle guerre. Oggettivamente, con minima sensatezza, dovevamo già sapere che era un'idea fessa.

I processi si fanno dopo le guerre, a quelli che le hanno perse (specialmente se sono dei criminali). Ad ogni modo, era tutta una festa questa creazione liberal utopica, che fu rovinata soltanto da un dettaglio. Gli Stati Uniti non aderirono, non ci pensavano nemmeno. Ma come, caspio, pensavamo noi. Il grande paese-guida del mondo libero, la più grande democrazia del mondo, si mette contro un processo liberale e democratico così cristallino e limpido. Pannella era indignato. Io che sono sempre stato pannelliano, ma un filo più realista, avevo un 1% di sospetto che gli americani e Israele non fossero del tutto scemi. Forse i coglioni eravamo noi.

Una corte penale si regge sulla forza di far rispettare le sue sentenza. E ha un senso solo in uno stato democratico. Una corte iraniana, o comunista non fa nessuna giustizia. Oggi che la Corte Penale Internazionale è diventata come l'ONU, la sua casa madre. Oggi che il suo procuratore e il suo presidente sono due arnesi iraniani, oggi che ci stiamo arrovellando da un intero su un caso intero montato dall'Iran per interposto Sudafrica.

Oggi che chiamiamo processo una controffensiva ibrida-giudiziaria che ha il solo scopo di rispondere alla disfatta di Hamas, è evidente che gli Stati Uniti e Israele ci avevano visto più lontano. Pannella si era innamorato di una coglionata pericolosa. Proprio come l'adesione della Turchia e di Israele all'UE (due catastrofi assicurate, per ragioni differenti, che avevo capito persino io).

Sulla Bonino, che ancora oggi è amica di Karim Khan e lo difende, stendiamo un velo pietoso. È la manifestazione corporea di decenni di battaglie buttate e di piccole porcheriole che non erano quello che sembravano, camuffate sempre peggio.

La Corte Penale Internazionale, ormai strumentalizzata e diventata uno strumento di guerra con altri mezzi, ha ucciso il nostro sogno ma soprattutto ha ucciso se stessa. Che forse è l'unica buona notizia.

La corte penale internazionale, infettata e piegata, non è più una corte di giustizia. Nessuno ha più nulla da aspettarsi, se non qualche sgambetto politico. Qualche piccola offensiva non convenzionale dell' asse che la domina. Giustizia, no di sicuro. La ICC è finita, il cielo su di lei è molto nuvoloso.

Tra otto settimane è garantito che i suoi membri avranno modo di scoprire che, azzerato il bel sogno della giustizia mondiale, quello che resta è la forza. E loro, fuori da quel teatrino triste, non sono i più forti. Good luck with that. Era un sogno che poteva esistere perché tutti ci credevano. Non ci crede più nessuno. Meno di tutti quelli che l'hanno uccisa. È durata vent'anni. Un soffio, nemmeno troppo bello.

I have a few wants for Mae’s story next season, with the hope that she gets her memory back relatively quickly being a pretty important one, but it’s not the only want I have for the way things go for Mae that I consider important. There’s something else that feels even more important: namely, that Mae find people in her life that deeply love and prioritize her.

There’s something very pointed going on in Season 1. “Everyone seems to want you,” Qimir says to Osha, but by comparison, nobody ever seems to want Mae. When they’re children, Sol professes a connection to Osha, and Mae is little more than an afterthought; as an adult, Sol ultimately leaves nothing for her but the worst parts of himself. Qimir is visibly fascinated with Osha from first sight, and ultimately doesn’t seem to have thought much of Mae even before she attempted to desert his side; he seems to brush her off the way you’d brush a speck of dust off of you.

And don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that Osha should have chosen to stay with Mae in Episode 8. It doesn’t make sense from a storytelling standpoint, not at this juncture. This is the culmination of Mae’s character arc this season, where she is finally able to stop clinging to Osha, to accept that what she wants more than anything is for Osha to be happy, even if she isn’t with her. For Osha to choose to stay with Mae at that point would feel wrong, for Mae has to prove to the audience that she has reached this kind of peace regarding her relationship with her sister by accepting that Osha doesn’t want to stay with her without bitterness. As for Osha, this is the culmination of her character arc this season, which has been about taking her life and her power into her own hands, and it would be strange for her to stay with Mae when Qimir has offered to help her do what she wants. It wouldn’t feel right from a storytelling standpoint; for things to make sense, they have to part ways at the end of Season 1.

But even if Osha frames it as making sure that Mae is safe from any reprisals on Qimir’s part, and even if it’s what make sense from a storytelling perspective, what it ultimately amounts to is that Osha doesn’t choose Mae, either. Nobody ever chooses Mae.

And it’s so uneven. I’m not saying I want Osha to be this alone, too—I don’t. But it’s wrenching to watch this woman who has nothing and no one at the beginning of the season still have nothing and no one at the end of the season, because even the memory of Osha forgiving her and loving her again has been taken away from her. Even her memory of the one person she had left who actually loved her has been taken away from her. She had nothing then, and she has nothing now.

Like I said, it feels pointed, the way Mae is never chosen, and what I’m hoping is that this means that it won’t be the case anymore in Season 2. Vernestra, you say, and yeah, I have high hopes for that dynamic, but no matter how things shake out between Mae and Vernestra, that is never going to be a relationship of equals, and I don’t think it’s ultimately going to be the kind of relationship where Vernestra would choose Mae, not meaningfully. Not over every other option.

That’s what I want for Mae, really. Someone who will love her deeply and choose her over everyone else, every time. With her memories and without. Knowing what she’s done, the good and the bad, knowing what she’s capable of, the good and the bad, knowing her past, knowing her faults and knowing that those faults aren’t all of who she is. Someone who would choose her without a second thought.

Because I feel like there’s going to be a scene like the one in Episode 8, where this time, it’s Mae who chooses. But Osha had more than one option. Either Qimir or Mae were viable options. Osha had a solid foundation to rely on, whatever she decided to do. But as it stands, Mae only has Osha. Osha is all Mae has. And if we do get a moment like that in Season 2, where this time it’s Osha asking Mae what she wants, if she wants to go with her or not, if Mae’s options are still “Osha” or “be completely alone,” then it's not the meaningful choice that Osha had, is it? My point is, I want Mae, whatever she decides, to have actually had a meaningful choice. To not be completely dependent on Osha for love and acceptance. To have someone else she could turn to if she decided that she didn’t want to go with Osha. To not have her choices be: Osha—or no one.

There are two main horror movies so far with creatures/monsters based on senses.

Cannot look and cannot speak [Bird Box and A Quiet Place]

We need a monster movie where you cannot hear them

apparently the first mandatory trade embargo imposed against a state by the UN was against a former colony, because it declared independence

Qua abbiamo così trasceso i limiti del ragionevole che non si riesce a capire se sia il solito circo per distrarre la gente (specialmente quella di casa sua) da altre inculate o faccia sul serio.

Noi comunque in Europa continuiamo a leccargli il culo... o al massimo a frignare brutti e cattivi e poi imperterriti a leccargli il culo (Scholz per dire... ma pure qua l'atlanticissimo PD).

Come, per dire, se si dovesse credere ai cialtroni austriaci che parlano di sospendere le sanzioni alla Russia... confermandosi doppiamente cialtroni.

Pure la donna, mamma, cristiana era filo putiniana fino a quando non è toccato a lei leccare il culo.

Magari se Trump ce lo chiedesse gentilmente come sa fare lui potremmo sospendere le sanzioni, così Putin c'ha 2 spicci per pagare la propaganda reazionaria, ma continuare a pagare il gas agli americani e nel contempo pagare le armi agli ucraini.

E magari potremmo anche ficcarci una scopa in culo per ramazzargli la stanza.

Ripropongo un articolo di Doctorow che spiega come i conservatori/sovranisti pur avendo interessi contrastanti riescano ad andare d'accordo:

Meanwhile Elkan nel CDA di Meta... e Meta sospende il fact checking e Musk si fa i pipponi.

Trump non esclude forza militare per Panama e Groenlandia

Buon 2025.
