This is the exact fulcrum of my dissent from BLM et al. It's a fundamental difference in values that I cannot reconcile. It separates my tribe from other. And apparently my tribe is in decline if not yet endangered. Without this idea on both sides I can see no way to agree on what human rights are, dividing the project to improve them against itself.
