agreed. it's wild how fast a potential operative jumps on this thread and gets hostile about people being upset over human rights violations.

human rights are not supposed to be just a "westerner" thing, it's human rights not western rights.

no person should be treated as subhuman. all people deserve a chance at being free no matter what nation they live in.

and if a organization decides they don't want to support a country because of human rights violations, then good. i support that organization for being on the right side of history.

I support Human Rights, but our problem then becomes the Power/Violence required to enforce those Human Rights.

We're so fucked in this Clown Timeline(tm)
