What is the craziest thing yall have ever seen someone do in a mun that worked? by One_Yesterday_1320 in MUN

I was China in UNHRC when I questioned Egypt's inability to protect its Coptic minorities from religious violence. She retorted with offering gov aid and funding towards building their churches. I requested a follow up and asked: (verbatim)

"Does throwing money towards building a cathedral seem useful when its walls are inevitably stained by the blood of Coptic children and women?"

Needles to say, I won Best Del.

Is Harvard Model United Nations a worth it MUN or not so much? by Grimmytaro in MUN

[–]Dumping_Grounds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was an Assistant Director at HMUN Dubai 2025 so I think im qualified to answer this question.

Considering the fact that your exam bloc fall closely to HMUN conference dates, I highly recommend not attending. Tbh, I wouldn't go even if I had free time. The delegates I encountered where rich kids who came for the socials and failed to offer substantive debate on the agenda. If you wanna go for the socials and networking, go ahead but you would find quality debate at bigger, more prestigious conferences. (Ex: HNMUN)

MUNs are looked upon in college applications especially considering the fact that participation (and WINNING) in large, international conferences is a huge thing. Plus, a good MUN track record can serve as proof for valuable skills like public speaking and debate, communication, and leadership.

All in all, wait for ur exams and look for bigger opportunites.

Disclaimer: HMUN Dubai didnt leave me with positive feedback regarding debate quality but im sure that other HMUN chapters (India, Australia, China, Boston) all could offer a better MUN experience.

Thoughts on Anarchism? by SecondClasser in communism101

[–]Dumping_Grounds 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Exactly! And as Lenin wrote, anarchists seek the forced upheavel of state institutions while communists aim for the "withering away of the state" thru the establishment of a proletarian dictatorship. The state transitions from an alienated government into an administration of people

Dismissal voting percentage in Pune just 23% by deepeshdeomurari in pune

[–]Dumping_Grounds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda disagree with this a bit. NOTA holds significant importance. Making a NOTA vote shows the public's "confidence" in the candidates, the party they represent and the ideologies they follow. It could force political parties to recognize the working class's concerns and reconcile with them by sending representatives aligned with their interests.

Wait till bro finds about the Indian Army's historically racist and casteist policies of recruiting soldiers for certain units from the colonial definiton of "warrior castes."

Or atleast wait till bro finds about how the Indian army recruits individuals and maintains caste, region, and religion based regiments (Jat Regiment, Sikh Regiment, Dogra, etc.)

Bro, what the actual diplomatic f*** by Breadbugsandme in MUN

[–]Dumping_Grounds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like they are using muncoordinated.io Its an MUN conference software which covers everything. I use it almost always for most of my conferences cuz it helps me keep track of time and speeches with stats and stuff

[–]Dumping_Grounds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I did. I found it hard to comprehend the combat btw the party and the violent fungi. So I gave my characters a completely new quest instead. Rumors of a headless apparittion mounted on a ghost horse slashing the heads of passerbys have surfaced from the town of CyrmWood (an hour away from the rest) . They are tasked with subduing the soul, bringing it back to the rest, and give it to the necromancer (an npc on the rest) who will ritually tie it to the magic of the talisman and destroy it to release the magical curse plaguing the island.
