It sounds like for you the signature of legitimacy is not the soundness of legal judgments as developed within consensus and consent and principle based deliberation, but their enforceability with weapons. And so I think we probably have diametrically opposite ideas of what renders laws legitimate.

Aren’t the ICJ, ICC and UNSC institutions of international law? And haven’t they ruled over and over again that the settlements, occupations, blockades, and blocking of humanitarian aid to Palestine have been violations of international law?

That was… honestly a great explanation. Thank you.

But goodness what a deep and context specific cut.

Okay fair enough, but if that’s the case, do you know what this meme is about?

I must be out of the loop. Are Linux apologists and tankies at cross purposes for some reason?
