I truly feel like we are witnessing a 180 of the current world order. Some will massively lose, others will gain, but the transition is certainly gonna be very unpleasant for a lot of people. Especially if you live in the West, I'd have prefered to be born in the 1950 and be about to pass away right now than to have to live a few more decades through what's about to come.

In 2026, everyone is a terrorist. Just like we predicted back in 2001.

It's not that new tho. US Ambassador to the UN under Biden already called Albanese an antisemite. This is just the next logical step in US foreign policy.

That’s likely due to Albanese constantly indulging in bizarre racist conspiracy theories.

With Trump at the helm, yes. However; with that being said, the rot and decay has been festering long before Trump came into power.
The issue is that most average Americans don't know how far they have fallen. One day, a great very many of them will wake up to the fact that the illusion of American supremacy was, just like most things in America, nothing more than a marketing ploy and a national "pep rally" -- nothing more.
That's when the resentment will set in. That's when the anger will set in.
Until then, most Americans have tuned out the news and are sleepwalking into whatever dystopian fascist-techno nightmare our billionaire overlord class has prepared for us.

Two things:
- US states should either join the ICC, or if that's not legal, cooperate with its ability to serve warrants with precedence over the feds, especially in cases where the warrant is for a federal employee. California could lead this, thanks to the proposition system.
- Apparently this boycott is doing well, but if/when it escalates into a general strike, people reading this message will have much more impact than average Americans. https://www.npr.org/2026/02/07/nx-s1-5704402/boycott-tech-ic...

The US provided what, 96% of all the weapons that committed the genocide in Gaza ? This is obviously an attempt to silence that history, and also rather obviously promoted by that nation who was the end user of all those weapons.

None of the things listed above are in the legal definition of genocide. (Such as Palestinians not being a race.. So what? So there can not be a genocide qualification? This is irrelevant...)

Whenever I am in contact with folks that I feel have some large identity, I make sure that they understand I am of the same race as them. I have found it really helps with communication.
That race: Homo sapiens sapiens.
Have a nice day.

Yes.
The definition from the UN which you’re probably referring to is “in whole or in part” so if three Hamas members in Gaza die then Gazans have, in part, been genocided.
That’s laughably ridiculous too.
> Palestinians not being a race.. So what
Do you know what a genus is?

"Washington", or Trump?
It's important for news orgs to name the actor accurately these days. Trump himself is acting outside of constitution, law and accountability. Many officials in his administration are freelancing, doing their own thing outside of law and without discussion or counsel.

The EU needs to get b*ls, they should impose the same sanctions on US Supreme Court Judges, other ICC members should do the same.
They may be waiting thinking the US might change in Nov 2026, it will not. They are in a Cold War, time to realize it and push back.
