Then they can create their Third World Court. Who cares?
Well, I think mainly people who might not want to live in a post-apocalyptic world.
Fight? Why would any of these nations fight? And with what? They'd fight among themselves, probably, and perhaps democracies may arise once the despots kill each other off.
You seem to have a very atomistic and isolationist view of wars. There was a time when a couple middle eastern countries going to war with each other didn't have much effect on the rest of the world. That is no longer the case. Remember the oil shocks that took place in the 70s and 80s, and again after 9/11 and at various times during the Iraq war?
Really? This is just a part of it?
That's not a genocide. That's a mass murder. There's a difference. A genocide requires that there is at least an attempt to wipe out an entire group, not just murder a bunch of them.
That said, I would agree that the UN does not always live up to its mission. Then again, when a substantial number of the most powerful nation on earth believe as you do, and many in other powerful countries also resist the idea, it's always got an uphill climb.
Sanctions??? We're talking genocide and you and the UN are talking 'sanctions'?? What kind of backward people are we dealing with here?? Do you not see why the civilized word would nothing to do with this kind of culture?
LOL! More money for the corrupt oligarchs??I don't think so.
So...almost in one breath, you first insinuate that the actions the UN can take (and often does take) are simply not strong enough to meet the demands of the problems it is designed to mitigate, and then, when it's suggested the UN be granted more power, you balk at the prospect. I don't think it's possible to be any more unreasonable than that.
The ignorant don't want change, otherwise they'd be welcoming it. I can make any claim I want and support it or not. I really don't care what your position is.
If you mean that you're technically free to do so...sure. But when you do, you just show yourself to be unreasonable and not interested in reason, and you lose credibility among reasonable people.
There is no 'impartial international organization' because of all the third world corruption that dirties everything it touches.
Not surprisingly, the "third world" has almost exactly the opposite view--and I think history is on their side. The countries in the "Anglosphere" all variously colonized, enslaved, murdered, and stole from those countries that are now "third world" countries--most of whom were doing just fine before white folks showed up.
You still don't understand that the Anglo-sphere is all based on shared philosophies of human rights and freedoms. Shared values. They have little in common with the Middle East. and most of Asia and Africa. It's time those nations who support freedom and justice organized into one group.
Well, I agree that the Anglosphere is marked out partially because of the shared values of its members. I disagree that those values are freedom and justice.
No, you did not. Or you don't understand democracy.
Yes, I did. Athens and Melos were both democracies--they were among the first democracies in the world. Athens attacked Melos. The American North and the American South (when the latter seceded) were both democracies, and one attacked the other (which is which differs depending on who you read). The U.K. is a democracy (the monarchy has little actual power; the country is run by the elected house of commons and the elected prime minister and his cabinet), as is Argentina. The U.K. attacked Argentina.
Why are you so against the idea of an Anglo-sphere anyway? It's already happening though much slower than I'd like, and without much fanfare.
1. Because western society, particularly in the "Anglosphere," is founded on Enlightenment thinking, which is both an historical aberration, but also downright mistaken in a number of its important assumptions, leading to economic and social systems whose end stages are what I call the Cyberpunk nightmare.
2. As a corollary, I'd hate to see those ideas and ideals replicated everywhere with no variance or escape from them.
