Meanwhile, the US reportedly responded with: "Nuh uh! is spying on you!"

Dang. It took until I saw that https://www.infowars.com/posts/not-so-fast-judge-halts-infowars-sale-to-onion-due-to-shady-auction-procedures had Alex Jones' Twitter in red from Shinigami Eyes to realize that this wasn't supposed to be an Onion parody, because it would really be funny for the Onion to have pretended this was the case if it weren't

Depending on the age of the person, they might simply not care about the difference, in the same way people inaccurately call gen Z millenials

Translation: After making an obviously weak show of pretending to care about Palestine, the US government makes shocking revelation that it was just an obviously weak show of pretending to care about Palestine.

It's also funny, because the US representative takes time to explicitly point out that the US voted against this resolution since it was first proposed in 2005.

Oh, got it, it's a Third Committee vote. UN press release: https://press.un.org/en/2024/gashc4428.doc.htm

Disappointing they had to add paragraph 4 again

Can you provide a source for the vote? The best I can find is 78/190 from last year (source: https://research.un.org/en/docs/ga/quick/regular/78) and that resolution had contained this unfortunate clause, which many of the countries had spoken after their vote to disassociate from:

4. Notes with alarm that the Russian Federation has sought to justify its territorial aggression against Ukraine on the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism, and underlines that the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism;

Excerpt of China's statement, for instance:

We are deeply concerned about the practice by a small number of countries of politicizing certain agenda items in the Third Committee. In view of that, China dissociates itself from the consensus on paragraph 4 of resolution 78/190.

In addition, that vote doesn't match the map you provide.

Also the United States' remarks on 78/190 were very telling:

We also do not need to repeat our long-standing position on this annual resolution. We have been one of several countries to vote against it from the very beginning.

If I understand correctly, the infighting was due to non-admin wreckers, which led to an instance being banned from Hexbear's allow list, and the way it was handled by admins, which ultimately led to TC69 leaving Hexbear yet again, not so much the actual change itself. What could have been a minor change blew up into a major incident.

No, Ukraine did. South Korea just backed them up.

See https://lemmygrad.ml/post/6007978:

It started when Kyiv Independent quoted a “Western source” that the DPRK has sent 10.000 troops to Russia

...

The latest “evidence” posted of these supposed DPRK soldiers “fighting for” Russia is two videos without a date or location, but purportedly from Russia’s far east. In both videos you can hear Korean being spoken. In one video they are outside training, and in the other they are receiving Russian uniforms.

The Western media can’t even get their story straight though. First they reported that South Korea’s intelligence has said 12000 DPRK soldiers are fighting for Russia in Ukraine but then they revised their story to say 1500 DPRK troops are fighting for Russia. If you look at the CNN url, you will see that it still says “12000 troops”, although the title and the body of the article have changed.

fascists of course aren’t people and cannot be treated like they’re people

Hard disagree. Fascist takes shouldn't be tolerated in an ideal government, but fascist supporters are people, even if they do monstrous things. It's important to remember that, at least for those of us in the , fascists are regular people you will meet in your regular life.

I wonder if there are any theoretical works that actually dive deeper into the connection between the cultural aspects for LGBTQ+ people and compulsory cisheterosexuality.
