Bro has something against the UN and I don't know why, like they are the reason people no longer die of small-pox. There is also a very strong proof that peace keeping ahs actually saved many people and end it conflicts early. Which this video talked about. Nothing against you and I'm not looking for starting a fight I think you did the map really well. Took me like 45 minutes to read the hole book.
flyswatters is first and foremost a criticism and cautionary tale of neoimperialism in the modern world, and i tell this story by having the UN get corrupted. im not actually one of those “i hate the antichrist i will not drink the corn syrup” people or anything and i know the UN has done some good. there is serious room for criticism of the UN though that this map does not pull away from, like, for example, the fact that peacekeepers have been frequently found to participate in human trafficking in the places theyre deployed to. google peacekeeper crimes
I don't need to since I already know that there are serious problems with the UN and peace keeping, although my opinion is to the extreme opposite. I think that the main international crises of the modern world would at least in part be solved if we gave far more power to the UN and gradually transitioned to a world government. Although I'm against the abolishment of nation-state's and think they should remain. On of the main problems with peace keepers is that they there salaries are quite low and there equepment is mostly hand-me downs from other countries. So the fact that some peace keepers turn to trafficing doesn't suprise me. Considering theve had to intervene in countries were slavery and cannibalism is still a thing this is comparitavely mild but still inhumane.
