No JKs goal was to get Amnesty to pull support for trans people, which she succeeded at.

Now it’s our turn to use our voices and throw our weight at Amnesty to do the right thing.

If Amnesty is incapable or unwilling to care, it must fall.

If a wall has a hole in it, you patch the hole, or build a new wall. Tearing it down before building a new wall would demonstrate a level of recklessness bordering on suicidality.

Amnesty do the right thing

Sorry this made me laugh in Ukrainian

That seems very radical. Why entirely abolish an organization that generally fights for the greater good, just because it failed once or a few times? What is going to take its place?

Because next time it will be gay people.

Next time it will be Muslims.

Next time it will be Black People.

Next time it will be Women.

Because Fascism does not stop and must not be tolorated.

Ok cool. We'll do something while you do nothing. 🤝

You could also say that Amnesty is doing something, and if you tear it down, then nothing will be done.

[–] Awooooooga@lemmy.world -2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Tearing down amnesty international is not doing something lol

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've already answered this criticism. You're too late.

[–] Awooooooga@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

You don't have the ability to build anything that does anything nearly as useful as amnesty international does for humanity.

[–] LemmyPlaceDN@europe.pub 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Have I ever implied that nothing should be done? Of course we need to fight for change. I simply doubt that axing the entire organization is a good solution. That would be like fighting your potential ally.

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

We're not axing them, we don't have that power it's just rhetoric. We're pressuring them. They need to know that the general public will NOT stand for billionaire bigots sticking their ugly noses in our affairs. That's the position we're in now because THEY caved.

You're punching the wrong people. Way to "do something", jfc.

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

No we're not. Eat shit.

Who did the nazis target first?

You are not informed enough to be making choices like that. You don't even know why AI withdrew. I suspect it is relevant that it is a UK organization, and they normally work outside UK borders. They have additional legal exposure in this case and may not be at liberty to do what you want them to do.

It's also irresponsible to be calling for AI to "fall" when they have saved literally millions of lives. Get your fucking head out of your ass. I'm sorry your pet cause didn't go the way you hoped but fucking get over it if this is how you are going to respond. Children, seriously.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago

Did you just call human rights a pet cause?

I sure am glad that my rights to exist are only a pet cause and not something important! I'm so lucky that a cis person was here to tell me that!

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Just say you don't care about everyone equally and own your shittyness you fucking shitmuncher
