most americans don’t really believe in universal human rights
i’m not sure if i’ve talked to an american who would respond to this statement with something like “i totally believe in universal human rights! except for people who don’t deserve them.”
Most Europeans don’t believe in universal human rights either, or see no real problem with the fact that their government doesn’t, which is basically the same thing.
The right to life and a fair trial? Only applies if you don’t live in a warzone. If you do, you can get shot by a state employee for no reason and no one will even investigate it.
The right to seek refuge? Only applies if you can cross a heavily militarized border without dying first.
The right to food, shelter, health care? Lol, if you wanted that you shouldn’t have been undocumented.
And so on.
There isn’t a single country in Europe that gives a shit about human rights. At all.
