it's been my own personal experience over the last several years that the rule of law has completely collapsed in canada, and we no longer have real laws, we just have tyrants in robes enforcing christian values on a baffled secular society that is increasingly rejecting the court system as irrelevant, because it won't follow it's own rules, but wants to run the society out of the back of a bronze age mythological text. i can see something similar happening in the united states. i suppose i shouldn't be surprised to see the same collapse in the rule of law occurring in europe, even as rates of atheism and rejection of faith are higher than they've ever been.

everything the europeans have said for weeks is the complete opposite of actual international law, even when they try to claim they're citing it.

actual international law should give iran a multibillion dollar bill to pay and get out of israel's way as it wipes out the group attacking it, but that's not what anybody is enforcing, at all. bigoted right-wing governments are trying to enforce international religion, not international law.
