What’s next? North Korea as chair of the human rights forum?
Israel for world peace!
America for workers rights!
Turkmenistan for world trade!Russia for LGBT+ rights
Marocco for the Decolonization Committee! Luxemburg for the United Nations Population Fund!
Fucking stupid timeline we’re trapped in
“I’d rather be sliding”
I made a nicer shirt than that a while ago, but it’s what today’s craptacular search gives up.
Reality really is beyond satire.
SatireSartre : Hell is other people…
Man, the world’s gonna be a MUCH better place when the House of Saud finally goes the way of the dinosaur.
Unless it’s just replaced with something objectively worse…which wouldn’t be the first time in history something like that happened.
They already massacred Yemen as a monarchy while their crown prince is known for dismembering journalists, they’re about as bad as it gets.
Maybe I’m just cynical, but I can imagine many, many ways it could get worse and only a few of them involve nuclear or bio weapons.
This oil fields aren’t moving. If the Saus family is ousted, we just talk to the new family
What I would to see is a Saud realizing he’s on the outs, crying on the tarmac. But that’s just mean
This oil fields aren’t moving.
Yes they are. We’ve been moving them out of the ground and into the atmosphere for almost ninety years.
They already did, but some other Saudis realised those dinosaur bones had oil and they went full circle again.
I believe one day in the future, maybe by aliens hands or maybe by some incredible new discovery, religion will cease to exist and the world will be finally peacefull with people working for the betterment of their lifes not praying for a ghost
edit: a religion plague that kills only dumb people also works lol
This will not happen, as long as other people find a way to use “religion” for power, influence or financial gain. Some people already thought that the mass adaption of the internet would be the end of religion, scams and other fraud preying on the gullible minds, because people could just read up what the catch is and not fall for it, right?
Unfortunately the scams just adapted, made their own flashy homepages that mostly outranked critical information and people just choose to belive what they want to belive.
We didn’t know how dumb people really was.
I don’t want to nitpick, because everyone gets what you’re trying to say.
But dinosaurs still exist today: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_birds
I would also be fine with them evolving into something more relevant to the times
it may be hard to believe but womens rights have been progressing steadily. link
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a long long way to go, but I’m glad they at least seem to be heading in a positive direction.
Fair enough. If you want to solve the problem of gender equality, give it to the experts.
well, nobody ever complains (or they’ll die)
Amnesty is not a news source. They are fundraising, here. The article is devoid of necessary contextual information.
UN Commission executive boards are elected not appointed positions. In some UN bodies, chairs rotate in alphabetical order, but not this one. Maybe there was a midterm vacancy and the seat was filled by an appointment process? What is that process? When is the earliest the seat could be recalled?
I can’t find anything about their process.
There’s really not much about it, the UN page is here: https://www.un.org/en/global-issues/gender-equality
Mostly they seem to have conferences every decade or so and occasionally declare a “International day for X”. Seems like a PR kind of thing to me.
But at any rate it’s a bad look for the UN. Indicates a dysfunction in the organization that whatever process they have allowed this to happen. I mean it looks like it’s a PR campaign that actually makes them look bad. If Guterres was competent he’d shut the thing down entirely and start another one that didn’t suck. But since he’s an idiot and he will probably just say it’s somehow Israel’s fault.

Amnesty is not a news source.
It is providing news.
They are fundraising, here.
Their website has a donate button. This article doesn’t ask for donations, although it does advertise another Amnesty report.
What? They literally aren’t journalists and this literally isn’t journalism. It’s click bait to get people to click that donate button.
They may not be journalists, but this certainly is news.
“They campaign against abuses of human rights worldwide.”
The information shared seems to be high-quality and relevant to their cause. It certainly isn’t “10 bad things about Saudi Arabia, number 7 will shock you”.
Yeah it’s not serious news for serious people. It’s click bait. Not as transparent as your example perhaps, but not much different.
If the article is clickbate then it should be easy to respond to the serious points (for serious people) that:-
Saudi Arabia’s 2022 Personal Status Law, creates gender-based discrimination in
- marriage,
- divorce,
- child custody,
- inheritance.
Saudi Arabia’s authorities supress freedom of expression including expressing support (ie tweeting about) for women’s rights.
Saudi Arabia must demonstrate its commitment through concrete actions domestically.
Here you go, here’s what an actual article on this looks like.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/27/saudi-arabia-un-womens-rights-commission
Ironically your preferred article uses Amnesty “clickbait” International as one of it’s sources.
Right at the top of the guardian’s website it says “Support us now”. Doesn’t that, by your definition, make it clickbait?
Those points are all true as far as I know.
The UN: how can we be more of a joke to the world??
Oh oh, let’s appoint an atheist to the board of Islamic affairs!
Even then, I think an average atheist politician would handle Islamic affairs more fairly than an average Muslim politician would handle gender equality affairs, at least in most cases.
There is no atheist book that the atheist has to follow. The Quran, on the other hand, has misogyny kind of built into it, sadly.
Edit: I feel like I should add that this misogyny problem isn’t unique to Islam. The Abrahamic religions all have outdated takes on gender equality. I would have the same negative feelings about a devout Christian politician being put in charge of gender equality.
Hahahaha.
Klown world.
Well, if you want to know how gender inequality works, just ask the Saudis.
I guess the “freedom of the press” forum leadership spot was already taken?
Weren’t they head of the human rights council?
The UN is a joke
why am I not laughing???
It’s a bad joke.
The world is not even trying anymore

Jesus Fried Chicken?
Chick-fil-a is mediocre at best.
Just saying.
He fried for your sins!
It’s getting harder and harder to make satire because it keeps becoming reality.
