Why do libs always rush to defend abhorrent things with "🤓👆but achtually it's technically not illegal".

And in any case, according to the unanimous vote (sans US and Israel ofc) in the UN every year, the blockade is illegal and a violation of the UN Charter.

    Cuz legality is all they got. Legalism is basically weaponized philosophy. "Sovereignty of nations" eat my fucking ass and go fuck a wall. Just go and ignore all the financial wealth Cuba has been denied for decades because of the embargo. Cruelty via indifference is still cruel. If the "rules" say something bad you don't use it as an excuse. You don't wallow in it like filth. You change the fucking rules.

      Sovereignty of nations

      What is the socialist claim for that (or the corollary of self-determination of peoples)?
