@strypey Human Rights is the one doctrine, a prime directive, if you will, that by definition does not pit one party against another in a power struggle. Equal rights for all!

@strypey

I couldn’t agree more! I’m thoroughly disgusted by both branches of the american duopoly of aristocratic-ochlocracy.

You might appreciate some of the posts that I’ve made in - in particular there is a yard-sign design that needs to take off in a grassroots way.

If all of us reasonable, non-extremophiles can band together into a new majority third-party, we’ll be able to clamp down on the civil war mongers.

@SwingTXLeft “voting doesn’t matter” <- that is just calling out a symptom, not the cause of the failure of democracy. the cause is not having a proper Human Rights implementation.

“Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,”

Let’s keep the trend going and shrink the military budget some more so that we can actually meet our domestic human rights needs.

@walterdunham @maddad @TonyStark In return, I would ask you to “sit down and think hard for a minute” about this question:

What do you think the approx. 33% of America that doesn’t vote would vote for if “No Confidence” or “Abstain” were a ballot option?

@resipiscent Perhaps I did not entirely catch your drift, no.

Now I may have a better understanding of your drift. To which I would reply:

There is plenty of space within the box of a microblog to do that hard work, without being detached or facile.

is a similar call to solidarity for the broader, encompassing goals of Human Rights, as defined by the foundational document of the

@bike @timgatewood @Radical_EgoCom I hear ya. Petition your congresspeople to have the UN rewrite it as “humankind” instead of “mankind” and “its” instead of “his”, etc.

Microsoft replaced the word “master” in their GitHub technology with the word “main”, so it’s certainly doable, but it will take massive, massive work.

If you throw out the baby with the bathwater, though, you’ll have lost the founding document of Human Rights

@walterdunham @maddad @TonyStark the Democrats lost my vote when they blocked Lawrence Lessig from the Presidential Debates, the Republicans lost my vote when they failed to uphold Human Rights, so tell me again how my vote matters?

How’s about giving us something to actually vote for besides war and the disregard of our inalienable Human Rights?

No, this is what has gotten us here:

@AvvieLanche @cautionarytale > “Enough with the words. Pick up a gun and organize. "Voting" is what got us here.”

If the day comes that the government gives me a standard issue sidearm for the defense of the republic, I’ll be one of the first to take up arms and coldly apply my pre-existing firearms competence. Don’t worry about that.

Until that day, worry yourself with promoting human rights.
