> stand up for human rights
Can we all just get off our high horse? We literally have concentration camps at our borders and have bombed hundreds of civilians. We don't get to claim the moral high ground.
- joefranklinsrs 8y agoNot everyone is from US, miss. Most people from other countries sees a concentration camp for what it is, a concentration camp. Some have parents or relatives that lived (or died) through those camps. And I wouldn't dare compare US's detention center for illegal immigrants with the camp for millions of people detained without violating any laws. For instance, most countries have detention centers for illegal immigrants.
- curiousgal 8y agoI understand that not everyone is an American but YC is an American company, hence the hypocrisy of only calling out YC China when the U.S. is also complacent about human right violations, which is the point I was trying to make.
- chaostheory 8y agoThe difference is that YC in America is not afraid or hesitant to call out things that are inherently wrong in the US. They both write and fund companies and non-profits that address those issues. With YC China, the best YC can realistically do is fund and self censor.
- burkaman 8y agoYes, opposing those things should also be part of standing up for human rights.
