A slave empire can’t function without extreme deprivation.
The USA is a shit hole country with a shit hole leader
Israel will be responsible for a second holocaust against them. And this time no one will help.
I always thought it rather odd the country that gained its (unofficial) statehood because of a genocide of its own people have actively participated in committing one themselves. All by playing an oppressed victim.
A constitutional ethnostate being bigoted?!
And when that fertilizer shortage and soybean bullshit causes farmers to have a terrible harvest, and the U.S. asks for help from the world, I hope the world will reference this vote when they tell us no.
The fuck is wrong with US???
Oh boy, where to start?
Please reply - what other things are a human right?
For corporations to buy politicians and stuff like that.
Access to information - Internet access should be made a human right
Yea, and the US “vote” is actually a veto. The US needs to lose its UN veto power because of shit like this.
Honestly, the UN has been a farce for a long time because of this exact issue. If a handful of countries have veto power then the whole point of the group was moot from the beginning.
No, it’s not. This resolution was adopted with a vote of 182-2-0. https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3954949?ln=en&v=pdf
Yes, but the US no vote was an automatic veto. They had to remove anything that affected the US and then get all the other UN members to vote on it just to get it to pass. Any P5 nation with veto power can pull the teeth out of a UN resolution.
A “no” vote from a P5 is always a veto. When any of the P5 vote “no” in the Council, a resolution cannot move forward. Council members can, however, resolve their differences and propose new drafts for a vote by the Council. They can also call on a vote from the wider UN membership – the 193 Member States that make up the General Assembly (GA).
Right, and the dumb part on is that nobody in the world expects this to mean squat shit. Even if it would have been unanimous.
You don’t solve world hunger with voting.
What makes you think the second number is not a no vote?
In 2021 they published reasoning with they will vote no.
I tried to find a definite source, unfortunately there’s no immediate discoverability or reference. Gemini claims “The Standard Format: [Yes] - [No] - [Abstentions]”.
“We also do not accept any reading of this resolution or related documents that would suggest that States have particular extraterritorial obligations arising from any concept of a “right to food,” which we do not recognize and has no definition in international law.”
I imagine this is the part they really object to. Real “Fuck you, I’ve got mine.” energy.
They didn’t say it wasn’t a no vote, they said it wasn’t a veto
No single country should have veto power in the first place.
The problem with this is that it’s either veto through vote or veto through force. The US can easily flip the table and walk out to try to enforce whatever it wants but that’s obviously bad for world peace so this is its ineffective but less destructive compromise.
The article would be better if it linked to the reasons for the no votes and critiqued them. Otherwise, it’s just low effort outrage bait.

Bothsidesing idiocy is idiotic.
The explanation given in this link is complete hogwash.
There will always be nitpicks whenever the resolution is not completely meaningless and devoid of any actionable steps. If the vote was started again just stating that nations are generally against starvation, then I’m sure the US would vote yes.
But maybe not!
Israel: we disagree because we don’t believe our enemies deserve human rights.
USA: yeah, and can’t profit off of people or oppress foreigners if you guarantee people food, either.
I’m starting to think that Israel is where most of the evil in the world comes from.
For some reason its always them somehow involved
Living in the US as somebody who pays attention to the world and cares about people and stuff is absolutely surreal sometimes.
It’s especially so when you’re one of the last people to have had an analog childhood (The Oregon Trail generation represent) so all the adults you knew as a child grew up in the post-ww2 prosperity and genuinely believed all the American exceptionalism stuff.
The only thing it seems we are best at is striking the perfect evil balance where I can’t decide if it feels more Black Mirror or more Hunger Games.
Do you mean Gen X, Millennials, or Xennials when you say last to have analog?
I’m sure my anecdote applies to people from all three, and even to some of the boomers that didn’t ingest as much lead and have kept their head on straight.
When I mentioned The Oregon Trail generation though, that’s usually an Xennial label.
How to locate evil forces: start asking questions about human rights. Noted.
Shithole countries
If the idiots can’t see the trend yet, will they ever?
To the idiots, the trend is that the US and Israel are the only great countries on earth.
“Best country with best president thats why we need to get him to run a third term”
Saw that yesterday. Holy f…
It’s really dumb. Something I have noticed most of the formerly loud and obnoxious Trump flags in my area have quietly disappeared lately…
Nice! Lol wonder if they feel betrayed or dumb.
I’m just waiting for the world leaders, one after another, to cut all ties with both these entities. Will they dare? Will they form a new alliance? Will the world unite against the true tyrants? Stay tuned.
Not that easy when you have an insane person with a lot of nukes.
The Israel’s “anti-jew/antisemitic” rhetoric only works with the west, so it could take a very long time for leaders with bigger balls to just say “that’s not gonna work anymore”. USA is currently on the path to self isolation.
They won’t unite out of morality, but preservation.
Unfortunately, there may still be a long way to go, assuming the leadership doesn’t deny reality up until the nuke launches start.
It depends what end game they all want for us.
It’s already happening, but it’s in usually a slow disentangling of payment systems, software, tech, … Just cut and run would be very damaging. And like many things in politics it’s often two steps forward one step back.
Yes I know it takes time, but hopefully it’s done while trump is still alive.
Unless! 🤞
I fear they might replace him with someone who’s actually competent. Incompetence is currently limiting the evil.
Our EU leaders are sell-outs and still US bootlickers despite their act.
The ghoul VDL is blaming Iran for defending themselves.
