And NACLA is soft on the Venezuelan and Bolivian regimes despite all the abuses there.
No organization, institution, or living person meets the internet's standard for consistency. My providing an example is your "cherry-picking." Have a nice evening.
- dmix 10y agoNACLA just conveniently collected examples that I've repeatedly noticed in the media and in books over the years. They're tiny and unknown, so it's not the same. HRW is far bigger and has some real power. They have their hands in everything. Which conviently backs US policy as if they were some independent 3rd party non profit. It's much more influential that way. Plus they don't have the baggage of acting consistent like the state department usually has to do while NSA/CIA/DoD run wild. So they are a useful example of being an extension of US policy of exporting morality and human rights - selectively. Which is my whole original point.
