The Global South is Lost
One unanticipated outcome of the recent flareup in the #MiddleEast is that it appears to have put the final nail in the coffin of the #ClownWorldOrder by making it clear that the so-called “rules-based order” does not actually have any genuine principles or rules, thereby ensuring widespread global preference for the sovereign nations of the #Multipolarity over the #Imperial #USA and its occupied #satrapies.
Attempts by the #US and its allies to “paint #Moscow as a global pariah” have been “poisoned” by the rush to support Israeli retaliation against #Hamas in #Gaza, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing more than a dozen officials.
“We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South,” one senior #G7 diplomat was quoted as saying. “All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost… Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”
“What we said about #Ukraine has to apply to #Gaza. Otherwise we lose all our credibility,” the official added. “The Brazilians, the South Africans, the Indonesians: why should they ever believe what we say about human rights?”
West ‘lost’ Global South over Israel, 18 October 2023
Now, this is apparently shocking news to the inhabitants of #ClownWorld as well as its rulers, but it was always inevitable. The “Israel exception” to decades of baseless assertions about #democracy and #human-rights and respect for #indigenous peoples was never going to survive the #Internet anyhow, nor was “the plight of the poor, oppressed #Jewish people who never did nothing bad to nobody” ever going to cut any ice with anyone but high-trust, soft-hearted ignoramuses with no sense of #history.
And it’s a particularly bad look for #Israel to be observed to be “defending itself” by continuously #expanding its #territory. Considering that a significant percentage of the #GlobalSouth has historical experience with #violent #colonization of its ancestral lands, it should not be much of a surprise that there is a natural tendency for them to instinctively side with the #Palestinians. Indeed, many #Jews supported the #blacks in #SouthAfrica on much flimsier historical claims than those possessed by the Palestinians.
But as the Financial Times points out, it is the #juxtaposition of #ClownWorld’s position on the #Russia-Ukraine situation with the #Israel-Palestinian situation that has probably been the most harmful. Ukraine’s #crimes against the #Russians in the #Donbass, and the 14,400 Russians killed there between 2014 and 2022, far exceed the various crimes committed by Hamas in the same timeframe, and yet the #global #media has spent the last 19 months decrying Russian actions that have been considerably more restrained than the total #ethnic #cleansing of the Palestinians now being threatened all over social media in response to a single Hamas raid.
Clown World is dying. One hopes the #GreatPowers of the Multipolarity will use their power and influence in a more circumspect and generally beneficial manner once it is gone.
False Associations
- #Blacks can't be #conservative.
- Conservatives can't be #pro-vax.
- Only white people are #racist.
- #Gays can't be conservative.
- All #femboys are gay.
I've been almost instantly accused of being a right-wing antivaxxer and conspiracy nut just because I take exception to #blocklists. That didn't didn't take long! It's only my third day on #diaspora*!
So just for the record:
I'm gay and a femboy, but I know other femboys who are not gay at all. I'm against #censorship but #pro-vaccine. I got the jab as soon as I became eligible. I'm pasty white but not a racist. My boyfriend is dark-skinned and beautiful. I do follow the science, which is why despite being very #feminine and #gay, I don't believe boys can have periods and give birth, and they can't become girls no matter what they do to their bodies. Girls can't become boys no matter what they do to their bodies. #Science.
Can we dump these false associations and have a little respect for our differences? If we disagree that doesn't mean one of us is "spreading misinformation" or some kind of #extremist. We just disagree and that's okay.
I wasn't even born yet when #9-11 happened, but I think the one lesson we should have learned from that horrible day was that we are all people and we belong to each other and we can learn to respect each other and see value in each other. No more assumptions and silly associations that don't necessarily go together at all.
Okay, my rant is over, thanks for listening.
