> if I don't push back on the people who want to hurt others for their own gain, I'm just as bad as them Now, I don't mean any offense, and I am sure you are

  > doesn't the phrase above translate into you wanting to hurt (~ push back on) certain people for your own gain (i.e. for your peace of mind)? Sure, you can read it like that but then you'd be equating e.g. "denial of basic human rights" on their part with "me vocally and publically disagreeing with them". Which seems like a really daft stance to take.

    What does "denial of basic human rights" mean though? Do these people have the power to grant or deny any rights to anyone, or do they just talk rubbish and behave eccentrically?

In some countries, where you have similarly aligned people in charge (like the US), these denials of rights eventually get made into law.
