As millions of Americans are about to go hungry due to the US government refusing to fund SNAP, just remember that only two countries voted against making food a basic human right. The US and the terrorist colony of Israel

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Reminder to not take "infographics" as fact until you look at the source. Which this post doesn't provide.
It wasn't in November, but December, with 186 in favor, 2 not in favor, and 5 non-voters.
https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3951462
So 1 month difference and missing 6 yes?
1 month difference, 1 year difference, 6 missed votes, 60 missed votes, Either the information is correct, or it isn't. There's no excuse to have incorrect dates and votes when the information is available to everyone.
The reason for the difference is because OP didn't bother to look into any of it. He probably just heard from someone that USA and Israel voted No on this topic, and that was enough, the rest didn't matter to him.
So, this is why you should be cautions
I’d usually be with you on batting away the misinformation but all that was brought here to make your point was negligible and completely missing the overall point.
So I’m also cautious of derailing underlying topics just to be nit picky. It’s rude on it’s face and self serving at it’s root.
Folks that are nitpicky, especially when something such as statistics that goes against their views, is a red flag. Lowest form of rebuttal
They weren’t mad that it went against their views, they were upset that there was no reason why these numbers should be wrong. The information is available, just do it right.
People who will brush aside poor execution because it worked out this time is a huge red flag.
The yea, missing, or missed votes dont matter. Both times the resolution has come up at the UN the only ones to vote no have been the US and Israel
A huge point of the image is to show that those two countries are the odd ones out. It super does matter and it’s wild you don’t see that.
Instead of owning it, telling us you'll double check your facts for next time, you're just excusing it with "at least the ones to vote no was correct". Which is quite disappointing
You added no relevant context
I’m actually more concerned with the lack of common sense on your part to keep missing the overall point and still insist your’s still stands now that it’s been pointed out to be too negligible to derail the overall point.
This has been like observing as AI doubling down about a pebble on the ground trying to convince all humans with spatial awareness and instinct that it matters more than a meteor colliding with earth.
If in the case you really are an AI bot that somehow fell into the fediverse:
educating privileged, wealth hoarding capitalist masses about basic right to just simply not starve to death is probably more fucking important here.
And If in the case you are not an AI bot: This is low. Even for a troll.
What are you even talking about?
The truly concerning part here is that you are somehow arguing against verifying the source of information.
You are technically right but the essence of only America and Israel voting against it is still correct. If anything Israel is getting away with it a bit too easily by being so small
Yes, but how would you know that's the 1 out of 4 pieces of information that is correct? Especially when they don't even provide the source of the information.
The point is not about the 1 out of 4 pieces of information that was correct, the point is to not take info-graphics at face value without verifying the source. To be vigilant and critical of that which doesn't provide a source.
And honestly,if the lack of sources didn't catch your eye, the fact that the date in the image has a mismatched font and font size to the rest of the text, should. It stuck out like a sore thumb, and that was my first clue that I need to find the actual source.
The point is that the USA and Israel are against the notion, pal. Stop pretending like you are all about straightening out facts.
This is so not about straightening out facts, buddy. Without a source, how are you supposed to know ANY of this is actually true? It's downright scary how many people just accepted this as facts and not once, questioned the validity of what is unverified information.
If you can't see why this is a problem, you're part of that problem. Part of that gullible population that believes everything they see just because it's a coloured map
You pasted the source and it confirms what the post intended to show. So what is your problem exactly?
Had it made a lick of difference to the overall point, maybe. But all this is is being technical to be nitpicky. No actual wrong was corrected here.
A broken clock is right twice a day. If you can't see the problem with spreading unverified information I don't know what to tell you. They did not know, if it was true or not. OP saw this image on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/lostgeneration/comments/111e2t9/til_usa_israel_were_the_only_countries_to_vote/
And OP took it as fact. Not a single effort of verifying the information was taken. Just copy and paste. And that's exactly how misinformation is spread. Though, in this case, at least 1 of the facts were true. That US and Israel voted against.
The only fact that mattered was the US and Israel vote
You didn't know if that was even true. Because you didn't care to verify the information.
I've known about this vote for years
Thank you!!
That's why I usually just downvote info graphics to be on the safe side.
