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?

    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.

      You’re downplaying the systemic proliferation of neo-nazi groups like Azov in Ukraine, and the west’s collective complicity in creating the conditions for that.

        I think you’re overplaying them, possibly because you’re highly affected by propaganda from those nations.

          Can you elaborate? Do you think the global south near universally agreeing that Nazism is bad also means that they are highly affected by propaganda from those nations? Could it not be said that you’re highly affected by propaganda from western countries? Without backing your claims, that’s all they are, just claims.

      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.

        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”.
