United Nations Revealed

Horribly flawed in its conception and execution, but evidently no repeat of the first United Nations World conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance.

Isn't that a mouthful? Doesn't it reflect some of the blathering nonsensical ministries that socially, politically, backward theocratic regimes of the world bring into existence to hound and control and oppress their populations with? Like 'the ministry of public and private virtues, dress codes and respect for national integrity and the rule of the Almighty'.

But then the United Nations is an extremely bureaucratic, unwieldy institution. It is quantity, not quality that rules the expressions as well as the actionable dictates of the majority-member countries. Those countries whose fragile economies, backward traditions, feeble tribal-related cultures and homophobic, xenophobic, mysogynistic theocracies are in the majority.

And whose resentment of the advanced economies and political structures of democratic countries leave them apoplectic with jealousy and unmitigated rage.

So what better tool to use than accusations of human rights abuses, racism, societal disentitlements and contempt of poorer countries, to flagellate the very countries whose economic largesse the emerging economies are reliant upon? The bitter pill of recognizing one's nation as disadvantaged by geography, culture and economical capital breeds not humility and hesitance, but contempt and anger and blame.

The happenstance of socially, technologically, politically and economically advanced countries' solid performance in presenting as models for the emerging countries to emulate too often breeds a sense of guilt that tempers the collective health and well-being of social democracies, leaving them open to the accusations of their detractors.

Pricking collective consciences to offer even more assistance to the less privileged.

In a spirit of gratefulness, the collectively disadvantaged heap endless blame on their benefactors. This is the proportional representation of the United Nations at its finest.
