I can't seem to reply on thread anymore. I'd like to clarify a point for anyone else listening.
re: why should human rights take priority over justice?
nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqa3lcpz45yh6xtnsv46znwfz64yyn80rf8j3wjyhxq45ddwkad4pq82ra3m (nprofile…ra3m) I don't want the reality you describe, and I don't think that's a fair inference from what I said. There are deep violations of justice in our current system. I believe we have a long way to go toward addressing them without violating human rights.
I think the social contract paradigm is relevant here, too: if you violate the contract, you are not protected by it. I want that to be applied with the hierarchy I chose: if you violate regular civil rights, those may be stripped from you. If you violate human rights (such as what you describe), those are negotiable to protect the rights of others.
What I see currently that I can't tolerate is the lack of that stepped system (among many other things, but centrally this). We send people to prison for stealing food. Their human rights are violated when they have not violated anyone else's. Does that help clarify what I'm taking issue with?
