Fuck the UN. They know nothing about economy, they are just trying to get some publicity, after showing their uselessness in stopping the war in Ukraine.

- throwayyy479087 4y agoThey’re also an absolutely horrible neighbor. Diplomats are terrors on the streets and regularly rape New Yorkers without consequences. I have no respect for them - can’t stop Russia, the Uighur genocide, or Iran. What are they good for?
- thomassmith65 4y agoIf someone has a good argument in favor of less cooperation and less coordination around the world, I'm all ears. If someone knows of a better hope out there than the UN to encourage cooperation and coordination, I'm curious to know what it could be. Far as I can see, unless there's a miracle and we strengthen the UN, our grandchildren (or maybe us) are in trouble.
- yucky 4y agoWell it depends on what the end goal is for the international organizations like the UN. Is it for there to be a single government to ensure no more nationalistic conflict? If so I can think of quite a few arguments against that. And if that's not the goal then what is it, specifically?
- touristtam 4y agoInternational _Cooperation_. There isn't a need or a want for a single supra national government at this point in time considering how diverse the world is. So a world forum for government is what we have. You have to remember this is as close to the rule of law as possible in the current context.
- yucky 4y agoI'm curious, why do you say "at this point in time"?
- pipodeclown 4y agoHe's not ruling out that, as the world becomes more hogenous, we might develop a global cultural identity and we might at some point want a global government.
- yucky 4y agoOh great, an inescapable one world government, how dystopian.
- 988747 4y agoNot really that dystopian: different cultures we have now, they evolved because people were spread across the whole earth with no means of instant communication. Now that we have Internet, cell phones, etc. we will eventually blend into one culture (over the next 200-300 years). That's not a problem really. What is the problem is people who are impatient, and try to speed up the whole process. Such as current European Union leaders. Trying to force the change, instead of letting it happen naturally provokes unrest, conflict, rise of nationalism, etc.
- touristtam 4y agoYou sound like you don't understand the basic of how the UN works.
