And also, guess what countries voted against condemning Nazism? Here’s a hint: everyone’s favorite eastern European country who everyone claims doesn’t have a Nazi issue and the Eagle country didn’t vote for it
- ^From ^Voting ^records ^of ^the ^Third ^Committee^:
  Recorded vote on draft resolution A/C.3/77/L.5, as orally revised and as amended - Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance
  Recorded vote on draft amendment A/C.3/77/L.52 - Amendment to draft resolution A/C.3/77/L.5
  US and Ukraine voted no, on L.5. And yes on the L.52 amendment.
  For reference:
  The Committee then took up draft amendment “L.52”, which inserts a new operative paragraph, reading: “Notes with alarm that the Russian Federation has sought to justify its territorial aggression against Ukraine on the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism, and underlines that the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism.”
  ⁽^{press.un.org;} ^GA/SHC/4365⁾
  
  Huh, Israel voted "yes" on the L5?
  
  the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism.”
  You can only fight neo-Nazis if you leave it at talking about fighting neo-Nazis. If you actually go out and do any fighting then that's just counterproductive.
- That vote was one of the two times a day the Israeli broken clock was correct, iirc.
  
  Would have been super awkward if Israel voted against that.
  
  When was the other one, out of curiosity?
People who live in this country have the audacity to say negative things about other countries
Look up the vote for water as a right
- press.un.org; GA/10967; 28 July 2010; "General Assembly Adopts Resolution Recognizing Access to Clean Water, Sanitation as Human Right, by Recorded Vote of 122 in Favour, None against, 41 Abstentions"
  The draft resolution on the human right to water and sanitation (document A/64/L.63/REV.1) was adopted by a recorded vote of 122 in favour to none against, with 41 abstentions, as follows:
  [...]
  Abstain: Armenia, Australia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Ethiopia, Greece, Guyana, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Latvia, Lesotho, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Republic of Korea, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United Republic of Tanzania, United States, Zambia
  
  Evil China doesn’t want their people to have the right to die of starvation? They take away so many freedoms!
Was Israel the other country?
Here’s the US lying through its teeth about why it voted no:
https://geneva.usmission.gov/2017/03/24/u-s-explanation-of-vote-on-the-right-to-food/
- Smh so disappointing they’re like “well we have agricultural safety concerns and we aren’t sure that the policy would work as intended…so let them starve instead nothing we can do so sad”
- Wasn't it basically trying to push IP rights and extra judicial arbiters on the other nations?
  
  Yeah, that was part of it
wait Taiwan is a UN member state?
- Taiwan has a limited status in some international organizations under the name "Chinese Taipei" (this name greatly angers Taiwanese ultranationalists so I use it whenever possible), but the UN recognizes it as part of China.
  There's a video of the UN voting on the PRC's membership to the exclusion of Taiwan, the entire room laughs when America casts its vote and there's an interview somewhere with a RoC diplomat whining about their "true democracy and freedom" despite the RoC being a one-party white terror regime.

  unmultimedia.org; "1976th Plenary Meeting of General Assembly: 26th Session - Part 2" (skip to ~6:50)
- The UN recognized the PRC as the only China in 1971. Before that they recognized the RoC as the only China.
  Each gov't has a policy of not recognizing any state that recognizes the other gov't.
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.
Who among these countries do you think would be responsible for footing the bill on this one?
Which of these countries is currently the greatest contributor of global humanitarian aid the world has ever known?
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.
- Their own.
  Norway.
  The US.
  EDIT: Yeah, you're right. It is obvious.
  
  I refer to #3, why don't they just do it then?
  I didn't say per capita. You love that oil money don't you?
  Yes, the US is purposely starving the world.
  You're lying to yourself and everyone else. Stop being a bad person.

  Myths of "Humanitarian" Intervention
  CONTRARY TO POPULAR belief, U.S. leaders are no different from those of most other countries in that they have a dismal humanitarian record.
  True, many nations including this one have sent relief abroad in response to particular disasters.But these sporadic actions are limited in scope, do not represent an essential policy commitment, and obscure the many occasions when governments choose to do absolutely nothing for other peoples in dire straits.
  In addition, most U.S. aid missions serve as pretexts for hidden political agendas. They are intended to bolster conservative procapitalist regimes, build infrastructures (roads, ports, office complexes) that assist big investors, lend a cover for counterinsurgency programs, and undermine local agrarian self-sufficiency by driving independent farmers off lands that are then taken over by corporate agribusiness.
  
  Every time I forget just how bad the U.S. is, I am reminded "death to amerikkka".
- Would you look at that: a brainless NPC wandered into the thread. You're even more confidently wrong than the average redditor. That's almost impressive.
  
  Lucky for you, I think I'm done now. No one's gonna make you use that paper weight you call your head.

- Virtue signalling is when you think people starving is bad and the more you think people starving is bad the more virtue signallinger it is
- Only about 2.
  US doesn't have 'aid', they call it 'aid' but is usually corruption money or loan.
  For example, take a look at what is Ukraine getting. Not aid, most of it is some kind of loan.
  I think definition of aid is that they don't own anything in return, but US is not using it like that.

  🇺🇦 gets: unusable weapons
  🇺🇲 gets: to own all your industries
  
  most of it is some kind of loan.

- What bill needs to be footed? The vote was to make food a right, not force a single country to pay for the cost of food. Please learn to read and understand what you are reading. Worrying about a non-existent "bill" is purely ideological.
  
  That is what right wingers do. They get too emotional to read and they argue to death based on their own created misinformation.
  
  Then what's the point? Why even have this vote? Could it be that they're trying to signal how virtuous they are?
- I don’t understand why everybody is downvoting you. It’s a well known fact that throughout its 247 years of existence, the United States has literally never committed a single atrocity. I’m not saying the United States is perfect; maybe it committed an atrocity or two a couple of times, but nothing that was a big deal.
  
  There are the Indian Residential fake school genocide that continued after the Cold War, the subjugation of communities of freed slaves, the Black Wall Street massacre, the Cold War massacre against a mass of peaceful workers who demand meritocracy on the excuse that human rights advocate are evil Soviet agents, and the current planned illegal dumping of hazardous landfills and industrial chemical waste (which contains components of the chemical weapons by British in WW1) onto to the lands of First Nations and African American communities to poison the water and food sources.

  Stick your head in the sand just a little deeper and maybe you can shut out rational thought completely.
- virtue signaling
  voting on a UN resolution w/ all my friends to feed starving people just so I can post it on my hinge profile and smash better
- lool get your fucking CCP propaganda out of here you wumao
  
  Shut the fuck up cracker.

The last emoji in the title doesn't show up on my end
Edit: fixed typos
Shows two voted against, but I only see one country in red, what is the second one?
- If you zoom in you can barely see Israel being red... altho the compression on this is so bad, it's hard to tell whether that are just compression artifacts or not
- Israel

  No wonders they do shitfuckery in Gaza now...
- The map doesn't show it, but I think it was Israel.
