The US has openly announced its intention to dismantle the International Criminal Court and liberal journalists who for years have screeched about the threat to democracy posed by Donald Trump have had absolutely nothing to say.
Simple. Loomer is a Trump cultist. Whatever Trump is for, she is for. Whatever Trump is against, she is against. Until Trump flips. Then she will flip.
Rationalizations will be manufactured as necessary to support the cult leader. Whether the rationalizations are nonsensical or hypocritical doesn't matter. All that matters is that they support Dear Leader's policy of the moment.
Hence, a Loomer could loudly and piteously bewail the fate of Muslim Crimean Tatars on the one hand, and in the same breath rejoice at the lack of Muslims in Ukrainian political life. Any argument to support Trump.
And, no, thus is not limited to trumpers. Democrats and liberals do the exact same thing, although they are usually more glib.
In a just world every USA president would have gone before an ICC and been booked in a Hague but were instead built up in the media with libraries and accoutrements that only coloniality’s academics journalists and artists could provide for the plantationocracy.
"The great liberal opinion setters, the self-proclaimed guardians of the rule of law, the “democracy dies in darkness” people have decided that international law can die in darkness, thank you.
Why? Because they are Zionists, imperialists and nationalists."
And they never gave a shit about "democracy" or even the paltry bourgeois version of it that once existed in the US. It was always just a talking point to get their own genocidal Imperialist politicians into office by again fooling the wage slaves into thinking the Imperialist genocidal Democratic Party is the proverbial "good cop".
As we know, there is no true Democracy within Capitalism and certainly not in its final death phase, Imperialism. The Capitalist state was and is never a class neutral body as advertised, but rather a committee to protect the interests of the ruling class, the bourgeois, the billionaires oligarchs.
Lenin's State and Revolution is probably the most consice work on the topic. Like all of his writing, it has only become more relevant in the last five years. I strongly recommend it to anyone with a genuine desire for a democratic society.
Do you really expect Wapo or the NYT to oppose any of these fascistic moves on the part of the state? Both media outlets are an intrinsic part of the state's moves to curtail what few democratic rights are left. The writing's on the wall, this is capitalism up against it. no holds are barred, it's all or nothing.
