    You do understand why that is, right? It’s because it’s not meant to be a government, so pacts that won’t be enforceable without certain countries are capable of being denied by said countries for the most part. Because it’s diplomacy, not a government . Nothing stops the “yes” voting countries from making pacts with each other to go with the resolutions as well. Not doing that when usa votes no should show you something about their actual thoughts




  • I think it’s worth saying that security theater isn’t pointless. Criminals tend not to be the brightest, and they tend to like to go for low hanging fruit. That makes even the pretense of security somewhat of a preventative, even when security doesn’t work. Same way a fake security camera helps.

    The trouble is that they have a ridiculous amount of rights to be racist to people, abuse their power, and screw people over. Basic xray machines and security guards by itself would be reasonable, even as security theater



  • I specifically hate car enthusiasts, because their driving around on roads at high speeds and loud engines worsens life for other people. It’s separate from infrastructure concerns. Though I have both.

    People don’t change their positions just because you act nicely


  • In a communist non-state area, who enforces environmental protections? Who punishes rapists and murderers without being he said she said? Who prevents workplaces from unsafe working habits? Who assures buildings are up to code? Those are realistic issues, that don’t stop magically when you do away with a class system. Doing away with a class system will improve them, but not eliminate them.
