Kafka Nailed It

Lavrov on the US-invented ”rules-based order”, which they tell us the ”international community” supports.

“What is happening now in the world is not so much about Ukraine, but about attempts to form a new order. About ten years ago, our Western colleagues, instead of the term “international law” (which was called for all the years of the UN’s existence), began to demand that everyone respect the ‘rules-based world order’ and observe them. No one presents these ‘rules’ to anyone, because they do not exist. For each specific case, they are created anew. They are written in a narrow circle of Western countries, then pass it off as the ultimate truth. We are witnessing the apotheosis of the Ukrainian crisis. There is no doubt that one of the ‘rules’ that the West wants to implement is to deter any competitor. Now it is Russia, but China is declared next (or all this will happen in parallel). The goal of this ‘rules-based world order’ is the complete revival of the unipolar world.”

This reminds me of social media ”community standards” which are arbitrary, unannounced and unable to be challenged. People are censored, people are banned, people are silenced and no appeal can be made to the nameless, faceless Algorithms who enforce it. It is official cancel culture used to stomp out free speech and dissenting views. Only the Official Narrative must be parroted.

It is pure lawlessness of the most Kafkaesque sort.

The "International Community"...
