> But interventionism based on _your_ beliefs

They are not my beliefs, they are what the majority of the civilized world believed to be the core tenets of civilization after the horrors of the Nazi regime. That is the entire point on why I believe human rights interventions to not only be justified but morally necessary.

And for what it's worth I (as a German) would really love some sort of oversight committee to tell Viktor Orban or our own far-right to pound sand.

I guess the main difference I'm trying to get at here is: what we believe to be core tenets of civilisation are perhaps more hotly contested than we want to admit?

Or; to put it another way: you and I believe this (we're in the majority!), so should we force it on everyone?
