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
Russia wrote it for a reason. Think for a few seconds on why that might be.
And please stop lumping me in with the imperialist crowd. I'm anti-imperialism, but unlike some of y'all I (rhetorically) oppose all imperialism not just western imperialism.
Because NATO put a bunch of Nazis in its command structure and the U.S. has backed various fascists countless times in the last 80 years, so it would put the western alliance in an embarrassing spot.
That's like half of politics: trying to embarass your opponents into backing off various positions.

"Unlike you, I believe that all lives matter, not just black ones"
I never said the content of the resolution is good. I haven't read it. I'm just assuming it isn't since Russia sponsored it. And even if it is actually good, the hypocrisy of the Russians sponsoring a condemnation of Nazism is notable.
Just because a country is anti-American doesn't mean it's anti-evil. I shouldn't need to explain this. I don't know why I even tried. This isn't worth it. You're not acting in good faith. Drawing a false equivalency between "all lives matter" and "all colonialism is bad". Russia's Invasion of Ukraine is bad. Israel's genocide of Palestinians is bad. America is bad. All three things can be true at once, the world isn't black and white. Seriously what level of Reddit-brain must you have to try to say stuff like this.
I should really just mute this whole conversation. I'm gonna look for the button.
Elaborate?
They're doing double genocide theory, I'm guessing
Bummer, i wanted him to say that the soviets were nazi allies during ww2.
Ok, I'm just going to not read your comments and assume they're bad because your a westerner.
What a disgusting thing to say.
Can I ask a serious question? Who is it that told you idiots that any disagreement is "bad faith"? Because you all deploy this exact phrase, word for word, any time anyone disagrees with you. It's your favourite thought terminating cliche.
It's a completely apt equivalence, you just don't want it to be.
What the fuck is this complete non-sequitor? Not to mention it runs counter to your position up to know ("if Russia says Nazis bad, then Nazis good")
Your whole argument is that Russia is bad, so anything they do is bad! That's the most black and white argument imaginable!
Google Satre's quote about anti-Semites
Russia is at war with nazis currently. Of course they have the most to gain from condemning nazism.
God I wish I could've found the mute button, just so I could avoid hearing this bad take.
Then stop trying to get the last word in, dumb ass
I cant find that mute button but the block option is in the three dots menu below my comment if you're on web
Liberals are so insecure in their white supremacy, they need to shut their eyes and ears whenever someone even suggests that westerners aren't superior
