what upsets me the most is the arrogant way in which they pick what side of the argument that you’re on, ignorantly presumptuous that you’re nodding and agreeing with everything that they say. a country is not the same as a religion, nor is its government. the same people who espouse that it is are the people who ridicule the state of north korea for doing the same with their leaders. nobody who is simply defending themselves refers to wanton retaliatory annihilation of people as “just the beginning.” it takes more than a neo-liberal fascist’s opinion to decide whether a war crime was committed. giving people an hour to grab their children and run away is no excuse for openly boasting to the rest of the world that we have the excuse we need, and they have given us a licence to kill. shooting fish in a barrel and bombing the only way out from behind the apartheid wall might have been glossed over in the past, but the reality – to the people in the world – and the band wagon cliché is not fooling anyone any more

all these heads of state criticise countries for having “morality police” but at the same time criminalise the things people in the “free world” do with their own minds, their own bodies. nothing more than the fascists, they think they’re doing the world a favour. just opportunistic fools whose souls have been bought, with their console controllers in their hands, yelling hoo-rah while buildings are reduced to ashes, bodies are pulverised and showered in white phosphorus

you pick whatever side you want. nowhere else in the world is a religion interchangeable with a government. we’re not the only people whose heads of state are breaking international law in a “limited and specific way”
