Are you sure the West has always been defending human rights in its interventions in other countries?
Thats not what I said. Re-read it? I don't know how you got that from what I wrote.
- pessimizer 6y ago> The sides aren't the US vs China... the sides are those on the side of human rights and liberty and those that seek to deprive others of their rights.
- rgbrenner 6y agoWhat's the difficulty in separating those two things? I'm not talking about entities or countries... I'm talking about human beings with names. On one side there are people that deprive others of their rights. For example: That includes Xi Jinping. It also includes every person that helped overthrow Iran's democracy. It includes US citizens that attempt to deprive others of their voting rights. On the other side you have those that advocate for human rights. That includes MLK Jr; Gandhi standing against the british; Tutu against apartheid; the Hong Kong protestors; etc. It also includes everyday people in China that work and advocate for human rights.
- enriquto 6y agoI agree 100% with everything that you say, but the list of examples that you give seems a bit biased... Would you add Bush and Obama to the first list? Would you add Snowden and Manning to the second?
