I mean, you can't just call any attempt to impose structure on social formations "HRification." You're ignoring social contract theory and the liberal history and philosophy of governance over the past 400 years. HR is a problem because its main job is shielding a corporation from lawsuits by entangling victims in bureaucracy, not because it tries to set rules to protect the vulnerable.
- Mizza 6y agoI don't think that's true. I'm specifically talking about the top-down rather than democratic or collaborative imposition of moral frameworks. Though the creation of this document was ostensibly democratic - though, without proper international participation in my opinion - it was mandated by the board, which dooms it from the start, regardless of the content (which I largely agree with, save for the focus on empathy over correctness, which I find ideological).
- jolux 6y agoWhy do you keep acting like these are somehow purely western standards that nobody else agrees with or cares about? Human rights are valued by the UN. I don’t think it’s wrong to believe in a universal set of values. Ultimately even the US Constitution is an elite document written by elite people. This sort of thing is inevitable, history is a power struggle even when it results in more liberated outcomes.
