      Of course not, because the only remaining definition of “human rights“ will be private sector corporate immunity and unrestricted access to foreign ownership.

    One of the best things about the Trump Presidency is that less and less people are starting to take America’s authority on “Human rights” not seriously anymore.

        I have to keep reminding my parents, of whom are really coming around on the ‘America is currently a fascist state’ hypothesis, that the only real difference between what is happening now as to what was happening before was that before they kept quiet about it and only those who knew better feared it, now they want everyone to know and fear it.

        The propaganda for these people is extremely deep.

    Fun fact, when Bolsonaro was president of Brazil and even during his campaign, he held the idea of “Human rights to righteous humans”, which, of course, actually meant “Human rights to the right (-wing) humans”.
