>>2755763>symbolic vote for soft power purposesThey always imply some form of financial burden if the vote is passed. The recent one which recognized the triangular trade as the worst crime in humanity for instance implied some form of retribution.
Crying over historical events is so fucking cringy and embarassing

Integrity is better than lying which is why i respect them voting no.
>>2756211Were they lying in these votes?
>>2756244I never said that.
>>2755763The modern right does not value soft power. They despise it actually. The era of realpolitik is gone. Hence why Trump's foreign policy has been such a clown show.

That's not it though. They are way too deep and departing from their "bad faith vote" cope would only further discredit all their previous ones.
Additionally, every time the USA drags their allies to these symbolic declarations of support for the worst shit ever. It reinforces their commitment to US hegemony. It is an exclusionary brand, like a gang tattoo meant to push you towards loyalty by cutting out all those who know what the brand means. Because if your side ever loses, you are completely fucked. They will know who you were and where you stood.
They almost got their way with Ukraine. As pretty much the whole world was forced then to take the Washington line. When push came to shove, however, just about nobody but the US-whipped NATO slaves joined to sanction Russia.
It's a matter of time before the UN, which is just the imperialist refresher to the colonialist League of Nations, tilts more towards other powers and the USA declares it obsolete in a more serious manner than the "Board of Peace" BS.
