Yesterday, a Declaration of the trafficking of enslaved Africans and Racialized Chattel Enslavement of Africans as the Gravest Crime against Humanity was voted at UNO. As usual, Israel and the USA voted against. How did your country vote? Any thoughts about it?

It's the Same Map As Always, USA + vassals Vs Rest of the World.

Is it? It's not really subtle.

The yearly vote about blockade on Cuba is kind of an exception, even EU and the Oceanian Plankton usually vote "for".

My favourite is the voting about combating the glorification of nazism, really says all

So this one is interesting to me because of the rhetoric used by the Ruzzianz during the early days of the Ukraine "Special Military Operation".

Lots of talk about going into Ukraine and de-nazifying.

Curious if that played into this vote in any way, considering this vote occurred right in the middle of that. Poor form not to bring up this VERY important context.

Of fucking course you nazi lovers would have problems with combating the glorification of the nazism and justify this with the fact that you do support nazis.

[-] leoj@piefed.social 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

dude you just took this from zero to one hundred, this is a legitimate point of discussion on the topic at hand especially when you consider the date of the vote. If you think based on anything I have written that I am a nazi or nazi supporter I have several bridges for sale that might interest you.

Chill out.

You immediately throw yourself to add the vErY iMpOrTaNt cOnTexT that the countries voting against combating the glorification of nazism voted as such not only because they happen to currently support country where glorification of nazism is officially supported, but they also did it because they are being so petty to vote just because they oppose the country presenting the resolution.

Especially completely shameful for country like Poland which lost 6 million people to nazi murderers.

Right so maybe those countries had a legitimate reason for voting against, beyond being "nazi lovers".

[-] Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

are those reasons in the room with us right now?

What? Friend your ramblings don't even make sense, please consider spending some time outside of whatever bubble you're stuck in.

[-] logi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You've walked into a Tankie bar. This should be expected.

[-] leoj@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

dude I didn't even know what that word meant until a week ago, but I sure know more about it now.

[-] leoj@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Edit: Just kidding I see the clear label on the chart.

was this an identical declaration? what vote was this?

[-] yucandu@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

USA doesn't have vassals. If it did, they'd be helping them bomb Iran right now.

[-] orc_princess@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

If the EU weren't vassals they'd be importing fuel from Russia and solar from China, not because of ideals or whatever but because of practicality and (in the case of solar) to avoid climate collapse
