@simonehaysom I don't think the fact that there is no national ID is a right wing thing. I'm saying that the opposition to it on privacy grounds is counter-productive because right-wing governments pass laws to weaponise it.

UK - burgeoning first world country. Also UK - has no national ID scheme so voting ID is a nightmare. (Please note that the second point may not be an oversight)

@Arfness I’m not defending the belief - I think the concerns about surveillance are anachronistic and the benefits of central registries for administration outweigh the risk - I’m just saying there is a cultural resistance to it, not just right wing scheming

@simonehaysom We see this in the USA and in the UK, where right wing governments use voter id laws to reduce votes in communities that they feel oppose them politically.

@joshbudlender It is, again, not so easy - the ICC did investigate the US for war crimes in Afghanistan. In retaliation Trump sanctioned the then lead prosecutor - eg the same treatment they give terrorists and drug kingpins. & Biden didn’t take her off that list *that* quickly.

@simonehaysom I agree it's complex for this reason. But undercutting the value of the ICC taking a principled stand here is of course that it hasn't called for the arrest of leading Americans (e.g. "war on terror" torture) or Israelis. They're not members, but neither is Russia.

Sadly predictable. Whatever one thinks of Putin (an imperialist war criminal), the already-compromised ICC forcing countries to choose between ICC membership & arresting the sitting Russian president was always only going to go one way. Horrible own-goal. timeslive.co.za/politics/2023-…

@kimondegreef "it is troubling that an inmate serving a life sentence ... was able to run such an elaborate business from behind bars. It is astounding that a convicted violent sex offender should have free access to the internet. It is weird that he had access to a suit."

Unfortunately, he makes some valid points: "Iseman delights in the controversy his project has stirred up. He sees it as a way to garner attention for his views: that the “responsible adults” don’t have the climate situation under control..."

A tidbit for the folks in 🇬🇧 : "Iseman, who is an American, spends some of his time in London living on a houseboat, which doesn’t have a toilet, so Iseman buries the waste in public parks."
