  • The US isn’t constrained by the UN. But let’s pretend they are. Even if China or Russia vetoed all they’d get is the international community blaming them for the conflict not being resolved, while Gazans would still be genocided. I’m not happy with it either, but it is what it is.



  • Tbf religion scholars believe we do tend towards religious behavior, which isn’t to say humans must be religious or believe in the supernatural, but patriotism is analogous to civil religion, and fandoms can also be very similar to religious communities.
