@gwynnion agree completely, blazingly well said.

I’ve said for years that if we look the other way on harm and exploitation, based on the short-term thinking that it “could never be us”, we also undermine our own position.

I like to use the example of slaughterhouses – there’s no law of nature that prevents them from working on humans. The infrastructure that we’ve built for the mass farming and slaughter of other animals will be appropriated for the next holocaust.

But any time I suggest that these systems are dangerous to human rights, people immediately dismiss it without consideration based on a feeling that at least they are safe.
