> deeply concerns me from a human rights perspective

What should concern you is your singular belief in propaganda that powerful entities care about human rights over their own interests.



I don't find this kind of cynicism accurate or particularly helpful as a life philosophy. I've personally had the luck to meet people and be a member of organizations that do care and have power to make some difference.

For me, living amidst riots and have friends/family caught up in war zones has swiftly altered my views. There's goodness no doubt, but the powers that be, once they breach, won't be mucking about.


Fair enough!
