TL:DR the countries who voted against did so to prevent Russia from using this vote as a justification for their invasion of Ukraine. Indeed they used the pretense of "removing Nazis" for their invasion.
These countries do not condone fascism (or at least officially. I'm looking at you, USA)

This doesn't explain why the West has repeatedly voted against it for over a decade.
Damn that's crazy that the country full of nazis and the fascist military industrial complex masquerading as a country arming them with billions of dollars worth of weapons would be the only two in the world to vote against the glorification of nazism. Totally wild. Oh and they vote against it every time, for years? Wow got to wonder what's up with that.
Russia is also full of Nazis, in case you forgot. In fact, most militaries have way too many Nazis, because they like to have an excuse to kill people.
I know where I'm posting this, and it's likely going to be ignored at best, but you don't get to just pretend like it's only other people.
Here's some information, but I recommend you also find more on your own, as an excercise:

Dmitry Valerievich Utkin, co-founder of the Wagner Group. Tattoos, for reference.
There's plenty more to see. Nazis are a problem everywhere, and the authoritarian state of Russia certainly isn't immune.
Denouncing nazis would embolden our enemies huh
to prevent Russia from using this vote as a justification for their invasion of Ukraine.
The UN has, on a few occasions, voted to sanctioned war as lawful and justified. The resolution to condemn Nazism is absolutely not that, and it is pure bullshit to claim it would be functionally the same.
how's this explain germany, which abstained?
Indeed they used the pretense of “removing Nazis”
Absolutely huge brained move to vote for the glorification of nazism in response.
I've never been good at reading stuff like this, so it's more than plausible I'm just missing it, but I can't find where the resolution would give anyone the legal power or moral authority to invade another state.
Completely removing any credibility from the narrative that you like Nazis by checks notes voting against condemning Nazis.
Is that also the US's justification for voting against this resolution every time it comes up, before or since?
Garbage article, hiding behind the ADL, afraid to call him a nazi as well. Cowards who don't call out nazi-ism are playing defense for the nazi's. To the wall with the lots of them, good on Sam for not bowing to fascist authority.
It's like when a todler is hiding behind a thin pole and everyone can still see them. The ADL can't hide anything behind the phrase "awkward gesture." Someone needs only ask, "What makes it awkward?"
Right so calling the guy who endorses and promotes Nazis on his website, who reuses Nazi rhetoric and who uses Nazis symbols on camera is reckless?
If a fascist man, who nazi salutes at public events and who publicly supports nazi and fascist aligned governments around the world cannot be called a nazi, who can?
Jewish Voice for Peace
From their perspective, Democrats.
So Netanyahu, leader of a bunch of Nazis, just said he's a friend to them, case closed.
The Anti-Defamation League, a US-based pro-Israeli group which monitors anti-Semitism and hate speech, has described Musk’s gesture as “awkward” but did not say it was a Nazi salute.
That's a bit of bullshit. The ADL said specifically that it was NOT a Nazi salute. Which is the end of the ADL, for me. They're simply not credible as alleged opponents of anti-Semitism.
The leader of the free world everybody.
The world arbiter of freedom and goodness
Is there even a leader of a free world any more? When the US went fascist it was Germany, but they've been having issues too lately.
The whole free world was a bullshit narrative to begin with.
Very true.
Leader of a divied up and purchased world doesn't have the same ring to it. It has a ring of truth instead
The leader of divided and failing colonizer nations seems more accurate.
You know there is a specific type of person who holds 95% percent Nazi views, but is pointing fingers in all directions when an actual Nazi is called out as a Nazi. It is the same type of person that says he hates rapists most of all things, but never admits there is enough proof of sexual misconduct about any actual rapist. That person is the next door m'fer that enables fascism and patriarchy throughout history, and he is complicit to both.
If it quacks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, maybe, just maybe its a duck. They will still give some political grace saying its jot PC to call him a nazi even if he starts calling tump "mein fuher", starts preaching mein kampf, and starts building oddly large ovens.
wasn't there a quote about control and knowing who you can't criticize?
Yeah but it was more so talking about how when Democrats are in power it's okay to criticize both Democrat and republicans, however once Republicans are in power you're not allowed to criticize Republicans because the power stigma shifts.
something that I've started noticing as of late as well. If you try to criticize the Republican Party you'll be met with resistance, arguments and full shutdown leadin to personal attacks, where if you criticize the Democratic Party, they will still disagree with what you say but they'll at least listen to you.
this is where u support them and prop them up to motivate people to do the same
OMG the comments section on that article is something...
I've never trusted Russia Today to be a fact based news source and more importantly it's been a long time since I've trusted CBS to report on anything that isn't 100% motivated by their own self-interested drive for profit.
TLDR:
Neither news source involved are known to me to be particularly trustworthy.
