@pry yep 
LMR 🇦🇹🇪🇺🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏴☠️@pry @ghostlyash I do wonder what this map is about, considering the 1948 universal declaration of human rights already makes food a right, as part of the right to an adequate standard of living. The US voted in favour of this declaration and it went through as the de-facto definition of human rights according to the UN.
Of course very little countries have followed through with providing most or even any of the rights, because it’s a non-binding agreement, and thus little more than posturing, but … well, my point is: it has been a human right since the notion of basic human rights existed. since this map has zero sources (besides “UN”) and notably north korea mapped as voting for “yes” for whatever reason, I call bullshit on this being real. I don’t even see why the UN would’ve voted on this in the first place.
zbrown@_r @pry @ghostlyash with power of typing ‘un right to food vote’ I can miraculously say this easily verifiable thing is …real.

And yes, what do you know, the main thrust of the resolution that offends the US & Israel so much is ‘hey, the UDHR already says this, we should do it!’ — like most UNGA resolutions it is almost entirely symbolic with little practical effect.
Which is also why the UDHR is kinda bad: It lacks an enforcement method outside of these votes.
@_r @pry @ghostlyash but you gotta then ask yourself: When they implicitly already agreed to this by adopting the UDHR (at least in the case of the US) and the vote is symbolic …why say no?
@_r @pry @ghostlyash (the answer of course is the US values money over people in other counties, or really even their own, eating — but you probably knew that already)

@ghostlyash Some people'd be into that,
@ghostlyash no, we need to starve everyone by default to make sure those few who don’t deserve food and shelter don’t get any

@ghostlyash Personally, I would be fine with them being eaten by any plant or animal.
Flux@ghostlyash The fundamental essentials for society on the hierarchy of needs should be the main rights and the priorities of a nation and it's citizens. After all you can't have an aspirational and prosperous society when there's famine and drought.
