At the core of the current world order’s domination is the English-American law. It defines what is legitimate and who is legitimate. It is very selfish, provincianistic and ruthless. It does not care about others in the world. It does not care that there are other people in the world, with different life experiences, circumstances, climate, anything. American law, at its essence, provides legitimacy to very few people in the world, and everyone else is a criminal or some sort of degraded entity. Every judge is really just a 12th century man of a small English farm town, hearing arguments of how this or that is more fitting to his 12th century farm town morals, evaluated within the contexts of those who lived their whole lives in that town. If you ever have the free time to go to court as a spectator, you’ll notice (if you’re not trained in American law) that what happens there is essentially people trying to justify themselves in white society. The arguments don’t have to make sense, and they usually don’t in a global setting.

With a combination of fortunately-timed war victories and complicity of leaders in other societies, the authority of this court has been extended to the rest of the world. It is of no shock to us that Americans like Lindsey Graham feel entitled to put a man like Nicolás Maduro in its stands to judge him. They own the world and the world has been given to them. But there is one country and only one that in recent times has consistently, openly defied law and the reach of that 12th century English farm town patriarch: Iran.

Not even China dares confront him in the open: they have made peace with inheriting the legacy of the the European-American world order in international law, and operating inside that framework.

Russia showed its face most blatantly when Maduro was seized. Cuba and North Korea are merely capable of their own survival. They know and understand, like Soviet Russia did, that the old Englishman was full of shit. A crook, a racist, a genocidal savage with great command of the English language, but a savage at his core. Every legitimate person in America: those with 800+ credit scores, clean records, LinkedIn profiles, they are ultimately offshoots of that man’s ethics. They hide behind a facade of intellectual laziness to avoid giving the opportunity to “legitimize” those who do not come from the same English farm town, but grant the same opportunity to others who come from other European towns. The motor of the ethics is racism, not actual values for the vast majority of those legitimate citizens.

There are people in the world who know this, granted, less and less thanks to the total information dominance of Meta & Google. In this context, Iran, with its Islamic values that refuses to compromise, becomes the last place in the world that has the capability to confront the genocidal agenda of the English patriarchs.
