Yesterday, a Declaration of the trafficking of enslaved Africans and Racialized Chattel Enslavement of Africans as the Gravest Crime against Humanity was voted at UNO. As usual, Israel and the USA voted against. How did your country vote? Any thoughts about it?

    i sometimes wonder how the us will develop in some future where the petrodollar is no longer the world’s currency; would it be like the uk/netherlands/belgium still clinging to colonialism or will it be spain/portrugal still trying to cling onto colonialism despite not being part of the club anymore.

      It’s hard to imagine, because it is even more useless and corrupt than those other countries. And that’s hard to imagine.

        i bet it’ll be like france, with the closest thing to actual colonialism that the world pretends it doesn’t exist; but w latin america instead of west africa.
