When most people hear “the UN,” they imagine some futuristic one-world government—humanity united, all disputes resolved, the peak of global cooperation.
In reality? The UN is just like any other governing body: full of conflicting interests, political bias, and power struggles. Believing it’s above all that is a fundamental misunderstanding of how the world actually works.

And honestly, the responses are often even worse—dumber and far less productive. It’s no surprise the questions keep getting worse when half the replies are just antagonistic or mocking.
The phrase “There’s no such thing as a stupid question” isn’t meant to be taken literally. It’s about creating a space where people feel safe asking questions—even uninformed or vulnerable ones—with the hope that those who do have answers will respond with guidance, spark discussion, and encourage growth. That’s how better questions come over time.
But if your reaction is just to insult the person, call them dumb, and shut the conversation down, then how exactly is what you’re doing any better than asking the “stupid” question in the first place?

You mean the same UN that had China and Saudi Arabia on the Human Rights Council?The same UN that relies heavily on U.S. funding to function at all? Yeah… hard pass. Bahahaha, no.

The UN only holds the influence it does because the U.S. supports it. If it ever tried to interfere in U.S. elections, the U.S. would likely pull out before it happened.

Just look at the IAEA—the International Atomic Energy Agency. They inspect nuclear facilities all over the world… but not in the U.S. Why? Because the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) already has higher standards, and even assists the IAEA when needed.
But let’s be real—the problems with American elections don’t start at the ballot box. They begin long before: limited access to polling places, voter roll purges, and general confusion about whether you’re even eligible to vote. These are the real barriers keeping Americans from casting their ballots.
