Yesterday, the United Nations voted on a resolution "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism & other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia & related intolerance."
Virtually the entire West voted against it.
Western countries feel that the resolution undermines their support for Ukraine, and that the bill is a thinly-veiled Russian attempt to smear their ally.
The resolution has been voted on every year since 2012, where it overwhelmingly passed 129-3, with only the US🇺🇸, Canada 🇨🇦 and Palau 🇵🇼 voting against it.
The US remains the only country to vote "no" to the resolution every time since 2012.
The West's overwhelming rejection of anti-fascism as an ideology, coupled with the rise in far-right sentiment, hints at a very dark future.

I wonder who’s gonna be on the Allied side this time since America is pearly choosing Axis with Adolf Musk and Donald Hitler running everything. Or, correctly, Adolf Musk and his Reich. I hope this one ends with suicides as well. Or at least good shots.
Fuck Trump. Fuck Adolf Musk. Fuck all of em. Never thought I’d see America turn into 1930 Germany with a dumb fuck white shit and Hitler2.0, right hand man throwing nazi salutes and congratulating nazis in Germany for winning an election too. Both of you, I heard lead tases great
In April, The Biden-Harris Labor Department expanded overtime pay rules.
Roughly 4.3 million more workers would have been eligible for OT pay under the new rule.
A Trump-appointed judged blocked it yesterday.
Go ahead and keep telling me that the GOP is the party of workers.
Looks like Trump skipped the ethics pledge deadline.
By October 1, he was legally supposed to file a commitment to avoid conflicts of interest and uphold ethics standards as he steps back into office—per the Presidential Transition Act.
Yet, here we are, with zero transparency on how he plans to manage ethical concerns. Meanwhile, Harris-Walz had theirs in on time, as required.
This isn't just paperwork. It’s a safeguard, meant to show that the transition team is serious about serving the public without shady entanglements.
But Trump's team? Silence.
No public record of that ethics code, no formal promise to avoid conflicts.
So, you want me to believe that you voted for a racist, rapist, convicted felon, business fraud who incited a deadly attack on our Capitol after losing the last election because of the price of eggs?
That you voted for the orange-dipped dude who ran with a different VP because the last one was nearly hanged for not breaking democracy, because you’ve been getting fewer hours at your job these days?
You want me to believe that you voted for someone who nearly every economist in the world has said will grow our debt (which he did by the third largest amount ever the last time), increase our costs, raise inflation and destroy our GDP because a burger and fries at Five Guys is more expensive than it used to be?
You want me to believe that you voted for the drink bleach guy who golfed while thousands of Americans were dying a day because you had it so much better then, when you were stockpiling toilet paper, than you do now?
You want me to believe that you voted for the guy who had 4 years to pass an infrastructure bill and didn’t, the guy who promised Mexico would pay for the wall when they didn’t, the guy who promised to bring manufacturing back, lower the cost of prescription drugs and end the opioid crisis but didn’t, because you preferred his “policies”?
You want me to believe you voted for the “grab em by the pussy” guy who wants to destroy the Department of Education and to repeal the ACA despite the fact that he has nothing more than “concepts of a plan” to replace it, the guy who will roll back environmental protections, strip women and minorities of more rights, the guy who will hand Ukraine to Putin and Gaza to Netanyahu, the guy who has said he will be a “dictator on day one”, because you’re worried about losing your gas stove?
I’m sorry, but I don’t believe any of that, and frankly, I’m not sure you believe it either.
Because the truth is that your vote wasn’t about any of that.
You voted for the traitorous embodiment of the 7 deadly sins because when it came to casting your ballot for a Black woman, you just couldn’t do it.
And because you like getting away with being your worst self.
And because life is a whole lot easier to stomach when all that has gone wrong for you, is someone else’s fault.
Let’s be honest here, that is what it was.
So when the price of eggs is $18, and your Latino neighbors have been deported or moved to some f’d up “camp” to pick the strawberries none of you will pick, and your miscarrying wife has to contend with sepsis before she’s allowed to have an abortion, and your autistic child is unable to get the early intervention they desperately need, please remember what it really was that you voted for.
Because I promise you the rest of us will never, ever forget.
