  • How is that a fix? You added weight to my argument.

    “The world” is not letting it happen though. The USA were the only country to veto the 2 cease-fire Security Council resolutions early in the conflict, only to later propose a washed down, toothless resolution.

    The USA remains silent over the ICJ’s ruling after South Africa’s genocide case.

    The USA are the ones slapping Netanyahu on the wrist but still supplying him with weapons, money and intelligence.

    The fact that it’s a 10 year contract has nothing to do with the issue. Surely your weapons and money being used to perpetrate a genocide would be reason enough to breach the contract, if there was political will. The problem is, there isn’t.








  • You don’t punish them per se, but you do sanction them.

    For example, Bolsonaro can’t leave the country even though he hasn’t been found guilty of anything yet.

    Also, someone who’s been accused of murder will probably be arrested preventatively if the judge in charge has reason to believe they will reincide before the proceedings are through.

    These things happen all the time and they’re designed to protect society from further damage from criminals who haven’t yet been fully judged and processed.









  • Having money means you don’t have to be a complete wage slave. When you’re not afraid of getting fired, when you have means to get by if you’re out of a job, etc. you don’t have to submit to abusive bosses, and you never feel like you’re helpless and can’t leave the place you work.

    With enough money, you may not need to work at all.

    In a capitalist society, money buys a way out of the always looming menace of the reserve army of labour. Maybe not completely, unless you’re dirty rich, but enough to remove helpless serfdom and slave-like conditions from one’s life.
