That's the beauty of Christianity.

It can be exploited to make you feel correct no matter your worldview.

Isn't Christianity the religion where it doesn't really matter how bad you are? In the end the love for Jesus fills up you entirely and before your final moments you become good.

I vaguely remember learning something like that.

This is not about 2025 American politics. Think in terms of game theory, pure logic, drop your morals. If you're you the baddest dude in the hood, why would you let weaker men trap you into binding agreements that might bite your ass down the road? All risk, no reward, foolish.

America won't be a real member of the international community until we are militarily and economically forced into the role.

See the gathering of generals and the warlike speech yesterday? They know we're slipping economically. Only way to counter, for a fascist, is military might. Once you've built your power on a single man never being wrong, forging ahead no matter what, there is no turning back. Plus, our leader is a dementia addled old man. All he understands is kicking ass and lording power and money over others. God knows what he'll do or say next, but you can count on that behavior.

This vote makes no difference whatsoever. The UN can't truly bind any state to any action. Why would the US participate when we're the biggest bully on the block? We're only in it for public perception, and most importantly, the veto.

They didn't ratify it because they want to be able to kill children, and lock them up forever without parole.

Every economic system requires money for food. Unless you want to grow your own? Been gardening for 35-years, it would be hell to feed my tiny wife and my tiny self on 2 acres.

It's not capitalism, you're just seeing the end stages. No reason we couldn't have continued to tax the snot out the wealthy and continued to collectively bargain via unions. No reason we couldn't have continued to disallow and bust monopolies.

Any economic system will eventually funnel the money upstream. We have to have the morals and education to fight against that. Every economic system is rise and fall, rinse and repeat.

I don't have the ultimate answer. Education? But how do you fund that, and keep everyone singing from the same hymn book, when the money starts trickling up and the rich fight for their own best interests?

Internet should be treated as a utility some 15 years ago.

Job searches, paying bills, medical portals and more. It's a requirement today even more so.

And it's even easier to implement than food. Many countries already have free access to computers with internet in public libraries.

You have the right to starve to death in the street

Americans who have any political voice (right wingers these days) have plenty to eat and hate the poor. They prefer them hungry as some sort of punishment for ending up needing the help. We have Ayn Rand capitalism in our blood.

Ayn Rand, who died impoverished eating through public assistance hated the poor and made it morally acceptable for Americans to hate their poor. She thought altruism was evil. She was also a zionist who thought Arabs were "primatives" https://mondoweiss.net/2012/08/ryan-said-to-be-meeting-with-adelson/

Yes but they only want themselves to eat, not others.

We're dealing with a society that doesn't understand what inalienable means, and especially the leaders.

It is. This was a vote to reaffirm it (I guess in the context of the current genocide where its been shown that Israel is using food as a weapon).

But this vote doesn't overturn the fact that food is recognized as a human right by the UN.
