    I am really sick of the US. It’s never been great, but I really hate this overtly celebrating evil regime today.

    The US is a shithole country.

    Also the only country where children don’t have rights.

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

    Of course they did. You know what else should be a human right ?

    Internet (We are not talking about social media)

      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.

      I don’t know, people keep saying it’s nice to disconnect from the Internet. People who’ve lived without it long term and have a good real life community is probably doing ok. It’s not a need to thrive as a human being. Seems like a detriment in the long run.

        They mean social media & it’s only said by people who are narrow-minded. The kind of people that honestly Should be gatekept away from internet because they’re a net negative.

        Plus it’s already been said by actual govts. (Look up Kerala high court)

    Capitalism is massively dependent on coercing labor through the deprivation of basic human needs.

    The UN declaration of Human Rights already declared “freedom from want” a human right, which includes food, shelter, and clothing.

    Food is already a human right, according to the UN.

      freedom from want

      That goes against the very foundations of capitalism!

      The UN is lucky no one in the USA government can read, or they’d’ve already been liberated with extreme prejudice!

        Didn’t you read? Trump just signed an executive order that claims anticapitalist actions are terrorism.

        I wish I was being sarcastic…

    If Life is an inalienable right, and food is an undeniable necessity for human life, then it should be self-evident that food is a human right.

      The Soviet solution to this was to send all the fascists to Siberia and I’m starting to think they had the right idea.

    The US once helped create the UN as a means of unifying the world against fascism. Now it has made itself and Kahanist Israel the enemies of the UN.

      There were nazi rallies in the US in the 1920s. What are you talking about?

      The US has been fucking with other countries for the last 150+ years. Manipulating their elections, deposing their governments, and installing dictatorships.

      We now say Russia does this but the reality is that the US are masters at it and have never stopped.
