colonial states refraining from condemning colonialism ? 🤯
It really is always the same map
Human rights enforcement in the UN? No: United States and Israel Abstain: Other Western-aligned Countries Yes: Everybody else
I wonder why most of Europe abstained as well…
And of course, the usual two voting against.
Weird for Ireland to abstain
Not at all. You’ll notice basically the entire EU abstained. Ireland’s government is very neoliberal and is aligned with everything that the EU and NATO want. Ireland wants to be part of “the West” and so it has to be pro-colonialist and pro-imperialist. The days when Ireland was a bastion of anti-imperialism are long gone. Anti-imperialist Ireland died when they signed off on the Good Friday Agreement.
Because speaking out against colonialism raises the question of whether “Canada” should even exist.
Decolonization necessitates the removal of the currently ruling government so obviously they wouldn’t support it.
It is a colonialist state after all. In the sense of “westward” settler colonialism rather than imperial colonialism (though it participates in that too).
Russia was for? They are literally trying to take over another country at the moment.
When you definitely understand what colonialism is and why the war in Ukraine started.
