#USexceptionalism

I’d like to believe that any of this would be possible, but as an outsider looking on from afar the glaring problem with this whole screed is that it imagines a return to things that the US has never, ever stood for or genuinely enacted for all its people – what’s happening in the US today brazenly and effecting (almost) everyone is a continuation and perhaps escalation of what life has been like for many non-white, non-straight, non-Christian folk throughout the whole of “this long experiment [you] call the United States”

How It Stops, How It Ends

”What is happening in America today must stop, but it must also end.

There is no alternative if we believe in the dream that America once was, the dream of a nation and a people bound not by blood-and-soil #nationalism or grunting #populism, but by a sacred inheritance, a propositional nature in which being an American meant being governed and bound by laws and the Constitution.”

#USexceptionalism  

Judging from certain comments from certain citizens of the #US, one might start wondering if this is how Americans view the rest of the world.

The lead prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has announced that he is seeking arrest warrants for Benjamin #Netanyahu and Yahya #Sinwar, along with senior figures of their respective regimes, for the commission of #WarCrimes and #CrimesAgainstHumanity.

Amidst the predictable performative outrage from the US political elite, one fact is barely reported upon: the US is amongst a handful of nations that does not recognise the #ICC, and has on its books a 2002 law (colloquially dubbed 'the Hague Invasion Act') threatening war upon the #Netherlands (!) should any US citizen (or the citizen of any US ally) be brought for trial before the ICC.

Given the fact that the #US routinely fails to follow its own laws, let alone #InternationalLaw, when it comes to war crimes and crimes against humanity, the chances of an actual US invasion of the European lowlands is scant. Nonetheless, the rogue nature of #USexceptionalism is the always the elephant in the room when it comes to all discussions of accountability for the most egregious crimes of #geopolitics.
