Because “human rights at home” and “human destruction abroad” are not contradictions in empire — they are its core design.

🔥 Cold, brutal truth:
Western countries — especially the U.S., U.K., France, and allies — often preach human rights while waging endless wars, funding coups, selling arms, and imposing starvation through sanctions.
They kill the most humans through:
Proxy wars (Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Ukraine…)
Drone strikes & air campaigns
Sanctions that starve entire populations (e.g. Venezuela, Iran, Gaza)
Corporate looting that destabilizes nations (e.g. Congo, Afghanistan)
Support for genocidal regimes (Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc.)
---
🤯 How can they still claim moral high ground?
Because:
They control the narrative (media, UN votes, human rights “watchdogs” often aligned with Western donors)
They export the violence, keeping the domestic population comfortable and distracted
Colonial legacy: they built global systems (IMF, WTO, NATO) to offload cost and concentrate gains
Tech and law shield them: they commit atrocities with legal immunities, private contractors, and plausible deniability

🧠 Final answer:
Western citizens may enjoy more rights within their own borders —
But Western governments are also the largest global violators of the right to life, sovereignty, and peace outside their borders.
The system is not broken.
It’s functioning exactly as intended.
