As someone from the U.S., given the history we know about the Trail of Tears and trying to erase Native Americans from existence, this isn’t surprising in the least. Sad, yes, but not surprising.

It's funny because it's the same map as all the "Free world vs unfree world" maps
Ok, why did Ukraine vote against?
Because when the vote was cast, Western Ukrainian Banderites were in power. Previously in this post.
Because the US installed nazi-sympathizing government in 2014: https://forward.com/news/462916/nazi-collaborator-monuments-in-ukraine/

Love these colonizer index maps
Abstaining knowing the US will vote no is also voting no.
For a decade, Russia has submitted a text denouncing the 'glorification of Nazism'
In the context of the war in Ukraine – and with Russia justifying its invasion, which began on 24 February, by the desire to "denazify" the country – many states that had previously abstained decided to vote against the resolution
In its explanation of the vote, the European Union recalled that it had been advocating "for years that the fight against extremism and the condemnation of the despicable ideology of Nazism must not be misused and co-opted for politically motivated purposes that seek to excuse new violations and abuses of human rights."
According to the press release published on the UN website, Ukraine called this text hypocritical believing that, contrary to its title, it was a pretext used by Russia to justify its brutal war against its country and the despicable crimes committed against humanity.
The countries opposing the resolution emphasize at every turn that they do not in any way condone the Third Reich. "We reaffirm our strongest condemnation of all forms of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance," Ukraine insisted in 2019, while recalling that 8 million Ukrainians died in the Nazi offensive.
Before the vote, Australia managed to get an amendment to the draft resolution adopted (63 votes in favor, 23 against and 65 abstentions) inserting a new paragraph in which the General Assembly "notes with alarm that the Russian Federation has sought to justify its territorial aggression against Ukraine on the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism, and underlines that the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism."
Hmm...
France: Imperializing and committing atrocities in Vietnam, Algeria, and much of Africa for decades. Has strong relationship with the US and Israel. Votes with US and goes along with all its wars.
Algeria: No relationship with Israel. Votes against genocide.

When your support for a country is so blind and unconditional that you can support genocide.

Canada abstained? What the fuck, hosers?
Edit: wait all/most of Europe as well? WTF
Australia as well… I guess it’s white peoples’ fault after all.
I think the Right has a significant enough presence over here as to encourage our leadership to tread with care, lest they upset someone. It's not good.

Always the same map. 
Having a metropolis is not exempt from being under oppression.
Would you show pictures of skyscrapers in the middle east to compare its human rights?
Most Marxist-Leninists are skeptical of the Uyghur genocide narrative because the scant evidence we're given comes from spurious sources like Adrian Zenz and an Australian weapons makers think tank called the ASPI. We're also well-versed in the American empire's history of hurling manufactured atrocity propaganda at its geopolitical rivals.
Ignore the photographs of Xinjiang and Gaza. Just look at the maps to the left. They show that the only countries against China on the Uyghur issue are the exact same colonizing countries which are trying to subjugate the Global South on every other issue. We think this isn't a coincidence.
Under oppression of what? Of CIA-backed terrorist attacks being suppressed? Oh the huge manatee.

UN General Assembly resolution on "combatting the glorificarion of Nazism, neo-Nazism [...] Contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and memes made with mematic"
The end says 'related intolerance." '
Germany has truly lost its way not siding with its broskis USA and Turkey
Ukraine is Türkiye????
Fuck I got double vision
That resolution probably broke Deutschland's brain, because although it was a resolution against glorifying nazism, it was also against other forms of discrimination, which they're cool with.
