    Every UN vote is essentially always US/Israel against, Nato sphere of influence (the amerikkkan empire) abstains, everyone else is in favour.

    This repeats, over and over.

    real question: why even vote against it? why not just vote for it, since it’s symbolic anyway. then sit back and dare the world to call us holdings or isntrael ‘colonies’. If it is symbolic, and seeing how voting against ends up making the US and isntrael look bad, is there like a concrete reason to vote no?

      IIRC the reason that the US and their puppets give is that it would be giving Russia and/or China a PR win, just like the resolution against nazism that gets blocked every year.

        Isn’t US voting against an even bigger PR win for Russia?

    what gets me here is that an “international day of X” does fuck all in the grand scheme of anything. So on one hand, who fucking cares? On the other hand, the US and Europe cant even feign support for the symbolism…

    This vote exposes the duplicitous nature of the South African government. It votes against colonialism, yet it encourages the killings of white South Africans and the looting of their farms. White genocide helps the black majority to get rid of evermore white people and to settle on their land as if it was never theirs. This is not justice—it’s colonialism.

    I don’t get why they vote no even on something purely symbolical and completely inconsequential.

      There’s a lot of things in LatAm that even Milei’s people aren’t unwise enough to say.
