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.

"If Russia says Nazis are bad, than Nazis must be good!"

Liberal politics is just reaction.

“If Russia says combating the glorification of Nazis are bad, they might be using too many modifiers.”

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

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 days ago (4 children)

So the content is the resolution is good, but its nonetheless contacted some kind of metaphysical badness unrelated to it's content due to it being proposed by a bad guy and not a good guy.

Maybe we can get it proposed by Israel instead, then it would be a good guy presenting it because they only invade non-white countries

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.

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

We can't condemn the Nazis because if we condemn the Nazis people will think we're Nazis. When people see that we won't condemn the Nazis, that's how they'll know we aren't Nazis.

I think its more likely that the abstaining countries rely on America for trade or military in some way and don't want to aggravate them politically but clearly aren't willing to vote alongside them.

Or, as the other (better informed) guy said. This resolution equates tearing down soviet monuments to be Nazism.

That by extension means it equates Ukraine (the country partially occupied and fraudulently annexed by Russia) with Nazism. Countries which respect Ukraine's sovereignty (and have enough skepticism of Russia to read more than the title) wouldn't want to vote against (because of the title) but also wouldn't want to vote in favor.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago (15 children)

Tearing down monuments to WW2 veterans who fought against the Nazis certainly suggests a certain affinity with the Nazis.
