    “It is crazy that Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council after they grossly violated the U.N. Charter,”

    This was said by some US official…

    I know…It’s their miserable attempt at relating to our generations…the funny thing is it still conforms to their incessant necessity to dictate to us. We younger Americans are increasingly rejecting this emotional and developmental immaturity of which the neoliberals insist on perpetuating, and this decaying of official political discourse is more of that teen-speak nonsense. It’s not reached equilibrium yet so this will likely be doll-eyed at for now but in the end they will simply be recorded expressing their degenerated nature within the history books.

      It’s my hope none of us voted for any of them in or out of power. Bourgeois electoralism is a farce, our only power is in collective class-wide political and economic action.

        Electoralism can’t secure class liberation but it’s good to virtue signal. All available levers of power should be grasped and used to secure more favorable conditions for organizing and/or class concessions imo

          I disagree. If the proletariat as a whole were in a more radical stage of development sure, but right now it would only serve to perpetuate bourgeois electoralism…plus it’s wasting efforts in a farce.

      The West doesn’t really do diplomacy anymore. We mostly do bullying, bribing, virtue signaling, insulting, threatening, and using our embassies as dens of spies and staging grounds for subversive activities, fomenting color revolutions, etc.
