Technically, the 2A is primarily for when foreign armies invade and secondarily for when other Amendments fail.

“Law Enforcement” in the US doesn’t things they’re not authorized to do all the time and rarely face consequences. That fuck who murdered George Floyd was SHOCKED when he got arrested for it.

The idea is that they’re not put in a position to play favorites or make enemies with their neighbors.

Police in the US do lots of things that are against the law without consequences.

Most cops are sadists or ok with other cops being sadists. The ones that aren’t don’t last long in that environment before they quit or get training accidented.

You say that like there was a serious risk of nuclear war. But the issue wasn’t Ukraine, it was the rules based internation order that the US set up and benefitted from (despite also frequently breaking the rules)

Yeah, but at the time the US could have fought every nation on the planet to a standtill and the USSR could have fought every nation on the planet but the US to a standstill, so there was no way to not make them permanent members of the security council with veto power since they could just ignore other countries if they wanted.

You left out the part when Israelis continuing forcing Palestinians off their land to this day.

Jewish people have more current claim to Brooklyn than they do to the land that corresponds to ancient Israel and Judea.

Some Israelis are living in the land of their grandfathers but most of them have countries of origin they can be returned to. If that would be bad for them, there’s always countries they can emigrate to. But most solutions that aren’t zionist or “two state” are along the lines of “abolish the ethnostate and replace it with a real democracy” in which case the people currently living in Israel (minus those guilty of crimes against humanity) largely go about their lives as they did before.

Cool but have those countries ended trade with Israel? Declared sanctions? Sent military aid to the PLO? Establish a no-fly zone? I’m glad this happened, its a start, but it’s not enough and Gaza is running out of time.

Edit: downvoted for asking a question. Interesting.

Well, since you don’t seem to pay much attention to history, current events, or geopolitics, there’s no way to answer your question without writing you an essay and that’s not a reasonable thing for you to expect of strangers on the internet.

This is a scenario where the Russias are objectively the worse optoin available but the US violates it’s own stated values with such regularity that half-the world doesn’t trust the US; a number which is growing quickly.

The international community needs to embargo Israel, enforce a no-fly zone, send military aid to the PLO and humanitarian aid to Gaza. It’s the only thing short of “boots on the ground” that will stop the genocide

Where I live, there’s not nearly as many dirty punk shows as there used to be

And she went out of her way to shield Epstein from prosecution when she was Attorney General of Florida

Which has become surprisingly common lately under the Trump regime

And she went out of her way to shield Epstein from prosecution when she was Attorney General of Florida

Common tactic by most police departments. A huge proportion of cops like hurting people and jump at the chance to do it without consequences. And most of the rest serve the interests of the people being protested against, not the rest of us. They are least of all “law enforcement”.
