    Shocker! The country that can’t even agree to give children free lunches in schools voted that food isn’t a human right? I’m more and more shameful of my country by the second.

    This is why no country should have veto power. The USA and Israel have held back the UN from fulfilling its promise for…ever, really. China, Russia, and other have pitched in to fuck up good things from time to time but it’s usually the big two war god worshipping nations.

    When a religion is based on worshipping a god of war, don’t be surprised when they’re violent; physically, mentally, verbally, politically…

    Edit: as pointed out in a reply: Israel has no veto power.

    It’s always those two. But hey, don’t you ever dare saying so because you’ll always find someone who goes either “But not all americans!!!” Or “OMG! Antisemitism!!!”.

      Yes, because all 350 million of us some of whom were brought here against their will and some of whom were subjugated upon the arrival of the others have all agreed to this being OK… Fuck off with your fucking bullshit and place the blame where it actually belongs. I will always say not all Americans because I’m sick and fucking tired of being lumped in with the white people who aren’t from here.

    Look, you can’t make profitable things a “right”, that just leads to lower profits becsuse pesky regulations around what people “have a right to”.

        This was a vote in the General Assembly, where no country has a veto. It’s one of the only institutions in the world where one can gauge global sentiments instead of what “the international community” has decided. The veto is in the security council, where the powerful countries that make up “the international community” rule over everyone else.

    There are probably some countries that vote for the proposition to look good, knowing the USA will veto.

    I mean, the joke of this is in how the UN tried to declare this while so many of it’s members were actively using starvation as a weapon against dissidents at home and abroad.

    The Saudis have been trying to starve Yemen into submission for decades, ffs. Same with Ethiopia, using starvation against the Tigrea region. Honduras, the Philippines, Pakistan, Haiti, Egypt, Russia.
