MTV wrote about the United Nations' new project called Comics Uniting Nations, which they're hoping will change the world in another 20-30 years. But with their record, and countries they have representing their human rights councils now, that change would not be for the better:
[...] You might not be familiar with these names, but The World’s Largest Lesson already has a lot of support from around the globe. Check this out: at the recent World Education Forum, Japan, Laos, Lebanon, Egypt, Pakistan, Sudan, Latvia and Indonesia, among other countries, gave pledges to The World’s Largest Lesson.
Dear dear dear. I could accept Japan, Latvia, and Laos, but most of those other countries listed are a very bad lot, with gross human rights violations taking place there. For example, there's Pakistan,
which has seen a horrifying number of Muslim honor murders take place. And slavemongering by Islamofacists
is still prevalent in Sudan. In Indonesia,
a huge percentage support jihadism. And two thirds of Muslims in Morocco and 3 of the aforementioned countries
support establishing a new caliphate.
“The U.N. wants the people of the world to get invested in the Goals,” Josh Elder, Founder of Reading with Pictures, told MTV News. “We want that too, so we’ve assembled an international team of comic creators to craft a series of comics, one for each of the seventeen Global Goals. The comics will explain the challenges we all face and how every individual has a role to play in meeting those challenges.”
The project is on Kickstarter with a week to go, and a number of important comics creators’ names are already attached, including Fabio Moon, Gabriel Ba, Katie Cook, Fred Van Lente, Ryan Dunlavey, Ron Marz, Yen Yen Woo and Janet Lee. Likewise, Comics Uniting Nations is in talks with comics companies to publish single-page PSAs to talk about the Global Goals.
I wouldn't advise anybody who realizes what the UN truly is today to plunk any money into what's bound to become a propaganda project. Nor should any publishers be wasting time and resources working with the UN on this. It'd be nothing more than a boon to autocrats and other people who don't deserve your hard-earned money. The UN's also
still got quite a replete record of hostility to Israel, and
they're also full of anti-Americanism today, along with failure to disarm terrorist cells in Iran & Iraq. In fact, why are they asking people outside to fund their project instead of paying for it themselves? Most people at the UN doubtless get big salaries, and I'd think they could pay for it all by themselves, rather than cheat people out of their money.
Again, all ISIL has proved to me is that they can build bombs, not economies. In short, all they're doing is making short-term gains at the expense of long-term goals.
ReplyDeleteIt seems you sure have pissed off a lot of delusional comic book writers. Ron Marz and the nutty batch seen to be your biggest fans. It is odd how they always comment about you yet they are reading your every word, you must really get under their skin.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the UN project and it seems like a liberal attempt to push their views more than a teaching tool. If Ron Marz is a part of it you can know for certain that it will be bias trash.
Do Dixon and other writers like him know and care about you or are they convinced that you're some kind of reverse troll?
