    If Life is an inalienable right, and food is an undeniable necessity for human life, then it should be self-evident that food is a human right.

      We’re dealing with a society that doesn’t understand what inalienable means, and especially the leaders.

      Americans who have any political voice (right wingers these days) have plenty to eat and hate the poor. They prefer them hungry as some sort of punishment for ending up needing the help. We have Ayn Rand capitalism in our blood.

      Ayn Rand, who died impoverished eating through public assistance hated the poor and made it morally acceptable for Americans to hate their poor. She thought altruism was evil. She was also a zionist who thought Arabs were “primatives” https://mondoweiss.net/2012/08/ryan-said-to-be-meeting-with-adelson/

    Of course they did. You know what else should be a human right ?

    Internet (We are not talking about social media)

      Internet should be treated as a utility some 15 years ago.

      Job searches, paying bills, medical portals and more. It’s a requirement today even more so.

      And it’s even easier to implement than food. Many countries already have free access to computers with internet in public libraries.

      I don’t know, people keep saying it’s nice to disconnect from the Internet. People who’ve lived without it long term and have a good real life community is probably doing ok. It’s not a need to thrive as a human being. Seems like a detriment in the long run.

        They mean social media & it’s only said by people who are narrow-minded. The kind of people that honestly Should be gatekept away from internet because they’re a net negative.

        Plus it’s already been said by actual govts. (Look up Kerala high court)

    The UN declaration of Human Rights already declared “freedom from want” a human right, which includes food, shelter, and clothing.

    Food is already a human right, according to the UN.

      freedom from want

      That goes against the very foundations of capitalism!

      The UN is lucky no one in the USA government can read, or they’d’ve already been liberated with extreme prejudice!

        Didn’t you read? Trump just signed an executive order that claims anticapitalist actions are terrorism.

        I wish I was being sarcastic…

      That’s the beauty of Christianity.

      It can be exploited to make you feel correct no matter your worldview.

      Isn’t Christianity the religion where it doesn’t really matter how bad you are? In the end the love for Jesus fills up you entirely and before your final moments you become good.

      I vaguely remember learning something like that.

      This is not about 2025 American politics. Think in terms of game theory, pure logic, drop your morals. If you’re you the baddest dude in the hood, why would you let weaker men trap you into binding agreements that might bite your ass down the road? All risk, no reward, foolish.

      America won’t be a real member of the international community until we are militarily and economically forced into the role.

      See the gathering of generals and the warlike speech yesterday? They know we’re slipping economically. Only way to counter, for a fascist, is military might. Once you’ve built your power on a single man never being wrong, forging ahead no matter what, there is no turning back. Plus, our leader is a dementia addled old man. All he understands is kicking ass and lording power and money over others. God knows what he’ll do or say next, but you can count on that behavior.
