When the United States, a country that purports to be a leader on human rights becomes contemptuous of them while still using that as the basis for sanctions, invasions, and punitive measures, they have no place at all to criticize anyone else, such as China. America has abandoned what moral high ground it had. We gently caress up a lot but we once had world wide good will, helping to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany. Where have we gone? As glamorized as the constitution is by politicians within the beltway consensus come election time, they are not so keen on recognizing the human rights aspects outside of their pet issues.
