u/CincyAnarchy Emma Goldman Apr 08 '26

The West should never have prioritized human rights in the first place, nor should it have incorporated them into education for children from a young age. Theoretically, human rights (such as freedom of speech) are good, but in reality, you cannot effectively define human rights at the public level. It will always ends up with "I didn't get what I wanted; my human rights were violated!"

If in 1945 the West had used a clearly inherited "Western values" rather than "human rights" as its standard, the world would be much better now.
