The West's overwhelming rejection of anti-fascism as an ideology, coupled with the rise in far-right sentiment, hints at a very dark future.

Yesterday, the United Nations voted on a resolution "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism & other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia & related intolerance." Virtually the entire West voted against it. Western countries feel that the resolution undermines their support for Ukraine, and that the bill is a thinly-veiled Russian attempt to smear their ally. The resolution has been voted on every year since 2012, where it overwhelmingly passed 129-3, with only the USπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ, Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ and Palau πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ό voting against it. The US remains the only country to vote "no" to the resolution every time since 2012. The West's overwhelming rejection of anti-fascism as an ideology, coupled with the rise in far-right sentiment, hints at a very dark future. What do you notice about this map? Comment below.
