Data-driven nerds get the wall

This isn’t “data-driven,” it’s taking one random stat without necessary contexts and other stats (hint: America’s foreign donations are shit relative to GDP). It’s pure ideology with the window dressing of data to create a weak facade of statistics. Worst kind of scientism.
Also, gee, interesting that the other country voting against happened to be Isn’treal, wonder if that has something to do with recent events that might better explain the U.S. voting no.
Hating data nerds is a sectarianism against MLs!
This video basically falls into the same trap all of these other David Pakman-ass accounts fall into: They say the resolutions don't do anything or repeat something that has already been passed, and then give the reasons why it shouldn't be voted for.
If the thing you are voting on has already been passed, or it's not binding (and General Assembly resolutions like this aren't binding), then there is no reason to vote against it. It's not going to do anything if it's passed and you just look like an asshole voting against something all your other capitalist allies voted for. The US and Israel didn't vote for it because both countries openly believe food is not a human right.
Right up there with evangelical fundies going apeshit every time the UN charter on Rights of the Child gets brought up. I have an aunt who was absolutely obsessed with that shit because she thought it meant that Obama was going to come down from on high and personally tell her that she couldn't home-school her daughter.
The real reason is that such a charter implies that children are people and not property
The guy on the video goes further and explains that the other points were the "problem", like technology transfer and intellectual property (you can bet it was about generic enhanced seeds). The US is happy donating half or the entire budget of the world food program, and having all the countries that depend on it in its control, while the "problematic" points on the resolution worked toward making countries food independent, so you can se why it was an easy "not" from the US.

You should clean your links, the link you posted is a tracking one that tells tiktok who sent it from which device. It's good practice to get rid of stuff after question marks to avoid sharing too much info
Your link has this extra info (put n's where tracking numbers are):
is_from_webapp=n&sender_device=mobile&sender_web_id=nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnSo concerned about extremely nebulous empirical correctness rather than supporting the oppressed
Honestly, this just shows me we are so fucking cooked.
This absolutely terrifies me because there is no way to avoid eugenics if you follow a hard science path. Because the logical conclusion sees minorities as outliers
I’m not kidding when I say guys like this are fucking dangerous
The US's role in suppressing food security around the world is well known. It doesn't matter how much they donate to food programs, which BTW themselves have a destabilising effect on food prices ans contribute to the problem when you violate the food sovereignty of like half the world.
I haven't looked into this in detail either, but I am guessing that the food program being talked about buys much of its food from US corporations. It wouldn't surprise me, especially since the US is such a major food exporter.
