22·12 hours agoHahaha, no tantrum. Simply stating that defending ones preferred cunts by pointing out other cunts is a piss-poor defense mechanism. Cunts are indefensible.

It’s ok, bud. You can try to obfuscate Israel’s colonial actions. Just keep in mind that there are Canadians on Lemmy and we know what colonialism is.

World News@lemmy.world•Rubio vows diplomatic campaign to ‘dismantle’ ICC in escalating rowEnglish
21·17 hours agoThey don’t decide jurisdiction, it’s already clear what their jurisdiction is (i.e. signatory states and others).
Sorry but you’ve shared a lot of emotional responses with very little in the way of facts - sometimes even complete inaccuracies. To be frank, I’m reading a lot of ignorance and assumptions rather than understanding. If that’s how you base your opinions then there’s not much point in engagement.

World News@lemmy.world•Rubio vows diplomatic campaign to ‘dismantle’ ICC in escalating rowEnglish
3·17 hours agoICC doesn’t have jurisdiction for what states do within their own borders - every court has jurisdiction. If you don’t know them or have your own feelings about them, then that’s your own misconception of what the court’s function is.
In the end, even the creation of the ICC in 2002 was contentious because of what states viewed as infringement of sovereignty. It’s a very new international body that still doesn’t have the support it needs. Additionally, it’s judges and prosecutors are financially sanctioned by the US (for investigating war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan) which impedes their work.
It’s less about being toothless, and more like states purposefully attack it and try to weaken it - meaning it does serve a purpose (which is why it’s attacked) and can serve an even greater purpose if unimpeded.
So instead of blaming the ICC for doing their job in the quagmire that is international politics and the limited tools they have, you should be directing your ire at the states who don’t allow it to function as it should and ask for more protections of the court.
To answer some things
- Bibi (et al.) and Putin are wanted by the ICC and will be arrested should they travel to signatory states.
- The ICC isn’t part of the UN. You’re thinking of the ICJ.
I don’t know what you mean about legitimizing. The court functions as any court in the world and the prosecution needs to be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. If the court makes judgements outside of what can be proven or available evidence, then it’s not a court and would not be legitimate (and probably be attacked even more than it is now).

Canada@lemmy.ca•Postmedia's Decade of Pushing Canada's Politics to the Right
2·1 day agoNo, that’s not what journalism is. That’s a talking platform. Journalism’s main goal is to inform the public, not pass on talking points.
Journalism is when a politician says “we will wait for an international court to label the crimes in Palestine as genocide because that is precedent” when it really hasn’t been a precedent and it’s very easily searchable (like Canada recognizing the Uyghur genocide), basic journalism is pointing out that discrepancy. No investigation needed, no opinion, purely informative.
Otherwise, it’s a megaphone outlet for talking heads.

6·2 days agoIf you can link me to those complaints, I’d appreciate it. Because it seems that you’re registering that there are complaints, but it doesn’t seem like you know what they’re about.
I mean, if you look up “latest trans protests in Canada”, the latest one was a year ago in 2025 and it was actually an anti-trans protest.
So, do you feel like a group of people who have hate filled protests against their very existence have more rights than you?
One might even go so far as say that perhaps you’ve been susceptible to targeted advertising and you’ve maybe latched onto a false idea with very little in the way of facts?

No, they came here because there was a family dictatorship under the Assads for several decades who precede the Iranian regime and who invited Iran and Hezbollah as allies to help in the civil war to maintain power.
You’re not very informed.
