1948 called, it wants its human rights back

Article 20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, “Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.” This right is only selectively true. If you’re a ‘mostly peaceful’ protestor who feels like torching cars and looting a Nike store, then, sure, you have the right to peaceful assembly.

  Simon Black, Sovereign Man:  "On December 10, 1948, in the aftermath of World War II, the newly formed United Nations wanted to make a bold statement to counter all the atrocities the world had just witnessed.

"The previous decade had been almost nonstop genocide and devastation brought on by a Nazi doctrine of intolerance.

"And so the UN drafted a first-ever Universal Declaration of Human Rights in an effort to set a new tone for the future.

"In the very first article, for example, the document states

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights… without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.”

"This is obviously a wonderful idea— race, gender, sexuality, etc. should be irrelevant characteristics.

"Yet in modern woke society, these are the ONLY characteristics that matter; it has become so ridiculous, in fact, that woke leaders now talk openly about segregation— separate schools, seperate dormatories, etc. for black students and white students.

"So this very basic human right— to be treated as a person, and not as a color, has been thrown out the window. But the contradictions to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights don’t stop there." . . . More...
