We finally figured out that "human rights" is a really powerful phrase and now we're slapping it on anything we need to get sympathy for. It's basically the heroic version of the villainous "racism"

Like, your famuly supports a well intentioned policy that might have some unintentional bad side effects? They're a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATER and how dare you suggest we be kind to then

Sure, but what happens when the policy is not well-intentioned and is called out ahead of time for pretty obvious consequences? Am I allowed to be mad at family members for supporting it?

It's the dystopia classic liberals always ranted about. When we all agreed that "X" is wrong, & decided it was an ethical parameter to exercise power over your peers, those with the ability to define "X" became necessarily abusive.
Such power should vanish, not just change hands

The framing of every policy disagreement as a human rights or civil rights issue is the reason why certain people go ballistic when they think about a “conservative” Supreme Court.

So people get a free pass if its unintentional? Can I gently suggest their well-intentioned policy hurts others or will I hurt their feelings? And please tell me what bad side effects I should ignore.
