At this point i fully believen that for the wider world, American elections are pointless. Who gives a shit about the next administrator of US imperialism. Wether its Trump or Harris, blood will keep being sacrificed to the blood god that is capital. International law has proven itself meaningless when war crimes are being comitted by the west and its allies, so what are institutions like the UN and the ICC supposed to be? The fact that western media still treats this election as some extremely important global event, with live updates starting as far back as july shows the utter derangement of the average western liberal. The emperor has no clothes but the west is tripping over itself to praise his sense of fashion.
Local elections in Belgium and in its biggest Flemish city, Antwerp, it is a neck to neck mayoral race between the ruling Flemish nationalist Party and the openly ML workers party. Gonna be real here and assume we are not going to be the winners, but the fact that one of our biggest cities, with one of the major ports of Europe, came this close to a red mayor is noticable in and of itself.
The campain the nationalists set up was fucking dumb tho. Going all in on the European tradition of xenophobia, islamophobia more specifically. "They go and get their votes at mosques! They praise the Taliban!". Our sitting mayor also said that the workers' party's position that headscarfs and other religious symbols should be allowed in public positions is 'apartheid' (all while being a vocal supporter of the zionist entity)!
the absolute fucking balls it takes to expect to fly the flag of the country that manufactured the bullet that killed the one who was murdered is just.. fuckin hell man
