If you think your people didn't do the same to whoever was there before them, I don't know what to tell you. It's fun to be a victim though, right?

Lucky for you, I think I'm done now. No one's gonna make you use that paper weight you call your head.

  1. Because saying that people need food doesn't magically put it in their mouths. It's nice that you believe a UN resolution would though.

  2. How would you split it? Just fuck the natural disaster victims, right?

  3. You've really proven your intellect with this one.

Right, but you can't have it both ways. Are countries better off of their agriculture is dictated, or not? Why is it the responsibility of the US?

[-] BossColo@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Fair, I shouldn't have speculated like that. However, my argument is that the whole vote was a charade. If China knew the US was going to veto this, then their vote is meaningless.

You know full well that they had no idea what damage they were doing to the ecosystem. If you're going to argue, do it in good faith.

Then what's the point? Why even have this vote? Could it be that they're trying to signal how virtuous they are?

  1. If they had, why isn't the world completely fed? Surely if every other country donated half their GDP, then the world is solved.

  2. Developmental aid is not humanitarian aid. Maybe learn, instead of googling for facts that support your position, then trying to pass them off as your own ideas. Have you ever read a book?

  3. History has context, leave your bubble just for a second and try to be more than a parrot. I wish you could see the absurdity of mentioning China's nation building efforts, then citing this article at me. You're clearly a stooge. Congratulations.

Then why the hell is the US the largest contributor of global humanitarian aid? They're not just evil right? They're even bad at being evil.

Your life must be so simple. Never had to form a complex thought, eh?

Stick your head in the sand just a little deeper and maybe you can shut out rational thought completely.

This is one of the greatest examples of virtue signaling I think I have ever seen. I'll ask three questions. If you can answer all three, I think the problem with this is very obvious.

  1. Who among these countries do you think would be responsible for footing the bill on this one?

  2. Which of these countries is currently the greatest contributor of global humanitarian aid the world has ever known?

  3. What is stopping any of these countries from banding together without the US and making their beautiful dream a reality without this pointless resolution?

Smear campaigns work better when they're not completely transparent.
