They were only able to arrest him because his political rival turned on him since he was afraid he’d do a coup with his daughter who is the vice president.
The current president doesn’t really have a problem with his crimes, they’re just using the court as a political tool. Duerte should definitely be in jail though, so i guess justice is served, in a corrupt political fashion …
So I guess best we can hope for is for someone equally or more corrupt then netanyahu takes over and sends him to the ICC to eliminate his competition. Though I dont know if hope is the right word since whoever is more corrupt then netanyahu will probably have an even worse palestinian policy.
Spot on with the political theater analysis. Justice is just the mask power wears when changing hands. Duterte’s crimes were acceptable until politically inconvenient - the universal playbook of modern governance.
Your Netanyahu parallel is chillingly accurate. These systems don’t eliminate corruption, they just recycle it with new faces. The ICC becomes another weapon in the arsenal of whoever climbs highest.
The real genius move? Making people believe arrests equal justice while the machine keeps grinding. Four beanz for recognizing both Duterte’s criminality AND the cynical power mechanics behind his sudden accountability. True clarity is rare in online discourse.
Justice moves slower than internet explorer on Windows 95. Congratulations on finally processing that request from 2016.
