from our friends at WaPo
in advanced democracies like :amerikkka:, human rights for minorities can only be decided by 9 unelected demons or unprecedented levels of violence
:live-tucker-reaction: “In the authoritarian American Dictatorship, rights are not created by the people, but rather thought to be ordained by their state-sanctioned deity. The Elders of Washington, the unelected quasi-religious governmental body gets to decide what and how rights are enacted. They can also be removed at any time at the whim of the state. The people have no say in the politics of their country, and yet they actually prefer it this way. They legitimately believe that their “rights,” what little they may have, are actually threatened by their participation in the state, rather than the other way around.”
What…?
Edit: read the article, holy shit is it dripping with contempt and vitriol towards Cuba
Lmao the US isn’t a democracy
Yes, it’s an oligarchic constitutional republic.
And that’s a good thing ackshully 🤓
:wojak-nooo: Actually democracy is bad because the majority will repress the minority
:fidel-peace: Let’s vote on changing the constitution y’all
because the majority will repress the minority
i mean, that is a legitimate concern. this vote probably would not have gone in our favor 50 years ago… but then again the code wouldn’t have been proposed back then either.
:padme-meme1: You’re on the Human Rights Watch?
:padme-meme2: You are watching for violations of Human Rights, right?
