Progressive Politics

Settle down. We need to have principles to live together in a global society. Moral relativism will get us nowhere and rampant individualism is a big reason why capitalism inevitably leads back to authoritarianism. Under capitalism the ends always justify the means.

A progressive world is one in which we have international law and a functioning UN that actually gives a shit about human rights, dignity, and freedoms. That should mean liberating those under oppressive regimes.

I hate nobody in this world more than Trump right now, but the one thing he gets right by accident is that relying on the US to do the dirty work of foreign intervention was never the right move.

The UN collectively should have liberated Iran years ago, and stepped in to keep Afghanistan out of Taliban hands as the US left, and more. These nations screw over their people constantly and they clearly couldn't care less about their neighbors either - case in point Iran attacking its natural allies.

We should work together as a global order to uplift everyone.

With that said, there should be sanctions on the US for the shit they're doing right now, and Israel too of course. For the same reasons. International law doesn't mean anything if it's just might is right.
