I’m guessing, based purely on the countries highlighted, that this is a Russian sponsored resolution.
Pretty funny how you saw that all of Latin America, Africa, and Asia voted against genocide, and your first reaction is to call them russian bots.
France: Imperializing and committing atrocities in Vietnam, Algeria, and much of Africa for decades. Has strong relationship with the US and Israel. Votes with US and goes along with all its wars.
Algeria: No relationship with Israel. Votes against genocide.
Because the US installed nazi-sympathizing government in 2014: https://forward.com/news/462916/nazi-collaborator-monuments-in-ukraine/
Why does John Locke say all creatures of the same species are equal when you claim he’s only thinking of the white ones?
John Locke was a shareholder in the royal african company (a slave trading / capturing company), and also helped author the constitution of the carolinas that enshrined slavery. He also justifies it as captives taken in a “just war” . From his two treatises:
captives taken in a just war forfeited their lives and, with it, their liberties. [They were slaves] ‘subjected to the absolute dominion and arbitrary power of their masters’.
Locke on indigenous peoples:
When he sought to challenge the march of civilization, violently opposing exploitation through labour of the uncultivated land occupied by him, the Indian, along with any other criminal, could be equated with ‘one of those wild savage beasts with whom men can have no society nor security’, and who ‘therefore may be destroyed as a lion or a tiger’. Locke never tired of insisting on the right possessed by any man to destroy those reduced to the level of ‘beasts of prey’, ‘savage beasts’; to the level of ‘a savage ravenous beast that is dangerous to his being’.
This is all out in the open. I suggest you read the book I linked above.
Wrong again. John Locke (the founder of liberalism), owned shares in slavery-concerns, and openly defended slavery. The 3 liberal countries (US, UK, and Netherlands), all heavily engaged in the slave trade, (britain and the US especially). The US genocided an entire contintent and hundreds of native tribes, under a liberal form of government.
Nazi germany explicitly tried to emulate the US model (Doing to eastern europe what the US did to turtle island), and failed. In fact the only thing you can say with regard to fascism vs liberalism, is that liberalism is far more effective form of government for genocide than fascism was.
Its wild how liberals are memory-holing Copmala’s entire history.
Please read Losurdo - Liberalism, a counter-history. Because from its very inception, in all of liberalism’s founding authors and countries, liberalism has meant unlimited freedom only for rich, white, male, property-owners / capitalists. Colonized peoples, the poor, workers, and women have always been and were explicitly excluded from the community of the free.
The history of liberalism is one of theft, disposession, and slavery.
Liberals occasionally come to the correct conclusion that the game is rigged. But then they still inevitably spend hours telling us how important it is to play it, and vote for their genocidal parties anyway.
Damn, all of south america, africa, and asia are russian bots now. /s
That resolution probably broke Deutschland’s brain, because although it was a resolution against glorifying nazism, it was also against other forms of discrimination, which they’re cool with.
Every decision you make and everything that happens is based on conditions, and nothing exists outside of conditions.
In the ultimate sense there’s no such thing as free will, because everything has a conditioned existence.
This is also false. Biden drastically upped the military aid to Israel after Trump left office.
The US democrats are a vicious, genocidal party.
