Human Rights Are For ALL Humans

Daily writing prompt
What topics do you like to discuss?

I like to discuss topics that need to be discussed even though some find them controversial or uncomfortable.

Such as the concerning and rather rapid decline of human rights, misogyny, the dairy and meat industries’ marketing against veganism, the dying planet, the rule of the system, choosing a different life, getting away from the system, building a proper community, love, peace…

I am rather interested in discussing topics like that. Sure, it can be uncomfortable. But the world is facing so many issues today. We need to face reality and actively decide to change our ways and then follow through with those changes. We can’t keep doing the same thing in the same way and then act surprised when the world hasn’t changed. And making pretty speeches about how we ought to change, passing blame on the person next to us, declaring that our s*** don’t smell… None of that will do any of us any good. It’s just our egos talking. If we put our egos and monkey minds aside, we’d not only know what to do, but we’d be doing it already.

It’s just like math. One plus one is two. It will always be two unless one of the variables change. Deep down everyone knows that humanity is going in circles, re-learning the same lessons, making the same mistakes etc. We know we need to change. But most people would much rather pretend nothing is going on and keep focusing on momentary pleasures that will come back to haunt them. The world could be set ablaze and there would still be people sipping tea with their head turned in the other direction, pretending as though it is actually rather chilly outside. The human ability to ignore the truth is unmatched.

Profit and power to satisfy the ego

Hasn’t anyone noticed that every single time the system wants to get away with something they create waves of hatred, have the media shine lights on certain events and tell us what to think and what to feel? All so we’ll be so upset and distracted that we can’t question their horrendous acts in the shadows. The system is essentially a puppet master with many hands and nothing but profit, power and control in mind. And most people would rather remain puppets than realise that.

And what of the meat industry and the dairy industry? Didn’t anyone notice the shift? When suddenly meat and dairy were being marketed everywhere, with celebrities and other chosen individuals “coming out” as recovering vegans? Or the many doctors paid off to spread ignorance all so that fools would indeed be fooled into consuming more meat and dairy out of fear?

Both industries are just that. Industries. They focus on nothing but profit. Upon realising profit would decline if people chose to prioritise their health, the planet and the animals, they decided to lie through their teeth to prevent that from happening. They saw the path the world must take, and that path will not aid their rule in the food industry. They know we need to consume less meat and cut out dairy. They know that the meat and dairy industries are not on the side of the future we need to be walking toward. They know exactly what eating those products will do to a person’s health, and they know what harm it has already brought to countless animals and to nature on a global scale. Of course they would do the utmost to hide it.

They knew it was only a matter of time before people would realise veganism makes far more sense, and before that happened, they wanted to brainwash as many people as possible into believing the opposite was true. And with social media, AI and the internet, lies spread fast and people will believe anything because fact-checking isn’t even in their vocabulary.

The distractions

The topics the system would rather have us focus on right now are LGBTQIA, or more precisely the senseless witch-hunt against trans people. Which we all know is rooted in deep insecurities and hatred against women.

The people who are prejudiced against LGBTQIA have the same arguments each time. “Won’t someone please think of the children?” And then they go ahead and support decisions that will and has lead to the death of the very children they claim to care so much for. Or they press the senseless argument of grooming. Which is beyond ignorant. Many, if not most, LGBTQIA people grew up in “straight” households. And the reality is that most children are raised to fit neatly into harmful gender roles, narrow-minded perceptions of sexuality and stereotypes so that they can pursue the path society has laid out for them. This is what leads to eating disorders, depression, internalised homophobia, transphobia and in many cases, suicide. Society is the one doing the grooming.

LGBTQIA people are just trying to live and love without having to fear being abused or murdered simply because we exist. We have NEVER been the problem. And we certainly aren’t the ones preaching hatred and burning books.

Which brings us to the other topic they want us to focus on. Women’s rights. Because for some reason, in 2024, we are still discussing women’s bodies and women’s obvious rights to do whatever they want with their own bodies. It is bloody ridiculous. The inequality in society truly is senseless and aggravating.

The whole abortion discussion is just a bunch of conservative old men feeling entitled to dictate not only what a woman should look like and how she should act, but also what she can do with her own body. Her own internal organs. Abortion saves lives. We all know that. Only ignorant people would argue otherwise. Society does not get to dictate what men or amabs do with their bodies. So of course society should not be able to dictate what women or afabs do with theirs. If a person needs an abortion, it is obvious they should be able to get one safely. Without stigma. Not as a criminal in some back alley with a rusty crochet needle.

Whether or not an abortion should take place should ONLY be up to the owner of the uterus. It is as simple as that.

Human rights include the rights of all humans. OF COURSE that includes women’s rights and LGBTQIA rights. That is so obvious and I cannot understand how anyone could think that there are humans who shouldn’t be deemed human enough to have human rights. Because that is what they’re saying, the politicians out there speaking against women, against LGBTQIA and against people of colour. They’re saying that the one percent should get to dictate who is human enough and deserving of human rights. Logic has truly left the building.

Have you ever had to stand up for your human rights?
