“I visited a school, hosting thousands of displaced persons,” Lazzarini continued. “The place was overcrowded. The level of distress and the unsanitary living conditions were beyond comprehension. Everyone was asking for water and food. Instead of being at school to learn, children were asking for a sip of water and a loaf of bread. It was heartbreaking.”

    “Nobody’s perfect” makes it sound like the UN was corrupted. It was never about all nations having equal say. It is functioning as intended by the post-WWII major colonial powers. You, I, and everyone who was ever told that the UN was there to make the world more fair and to give everyone equal say bought into a lie the UN successfully sold us.

      Yeah, was just trying to exit with levity. I don’t disagree with the flaws of the institution or it’s founders. Just trying to support a functional end to war, whatever that may be.
