God I wish I could’ve found the mute button, just so I could avoid hearing this bad take.

And all it took was someone responding with actual information, instead of 20 people responding with a straw man attack.

I did not know that and don’t know enough to respond. I’ll leave this conversation to the other guy who actually knows what he’s talking about.

I never said the content of the resolution is good. I haven’t read it. I’m just assuming it isn’t since Russia sponsored it. And even if it is actually good, the hypocrisy of the Russians sponsoring a condemnation of Nazism is notable.

Just because a country is anti-American doesn’t mean it’s anti-evil. I shouldn’t need to explain this. I don’t know why I even tried. This isn’t worth it. You’re not acting in good faith. Drawing a false equivalency between “all lives matter” and “all colonialism is bad”. Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine is bad. Israel’s genocide of Palestinians is bad. America is bad. All three things can be true at once, the world isn’t black and white. Seriously what level of Reddit-brain must you have to try to say stuff like this.

I should really just mute this whole conversation. I’m gonna look for the button.

Russia wrote it for a reason. Think for a few seconds on why that might be.

And please stop lumping me in with the imperialist crowd. I’m anti-imperialism, but unlike some of y’all I (rhetorically) oppose all imperialism not just western imperialism.

More that Ukraine voted against it and every single Western country abstained. Was I wrong though?

The resolution was explicitly designed to justify Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, an act condemned by 141 countries (ES-11/1) including many that voted for the above resolution. Voting for a resolution condemning Nazi’s, written by a Nazi regime and designed to frame their opponents as Nazi’s themself … I’ll leave it up to you on how you would view that.

If you want to frame the West as evil, you can without being misleading, ES-10/21 is a resolution drafted by Jordan calling for the condemnation of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. That was abstained on by most Western countries and voted against by the USA and Hungary. Many countries cited wanting an “explicit condemnation of Hamas” as their reason, and that is what I’d call a weak ass excuse.

I said the resolution is bad, not the principle. You’re again misrepresenting something to further your own narrative.

Capitalism.

I’m guessing, based purely on the countries highlighted, that this is a Russian sponsored resolution.

There are plenty of more genuine resolutions you could’ve picked, but they wouldn’t have fit your narrative as well. Please don’t launder Russia’s lies just to embellish your point.

The way Reddit fosters echo-chambers probably makes it the worst in my book.
