Amesty International Are Self-Righteous Shits

NEWARK, New Jersey — On the list of self-righteous-bull-shitters, slightly below the Nazi PETA, but above those awful self-torturing vegans, are human rights groups, the most notorious of them all, Amnesty International. As the name does not suggest, Amnesty’s goal is not anything close to amnesty for anyone, except maybe for the group’s own bullshit morals.

Amnesty’s goal, and I’ll even quote the site’s own words is supposedly to “campaign for internationally recognized human rights. (Amnesty.org, 07/25/2006)”

Human rights? When I think human rights I think about the right to have enough subsistence to survive. Anyone would think that is an important right, but that’s not on Amnesty’s agenda when they protest sweatshops and underage employment in developing nations.

It’s rather easy for a bunch of Amnesty fucks out in their designer t-shirts, drinking bottled spring water, and shoving food into their fat fucking mouths to tell the world’s poorest that they deserve better working conditions.

If the poverty driven inhabitants of developing countries were able to get better jobs, they would. Sweatshops just happen to be comparatively the best working conditions available. If companies were going to increase pay to the “standards” of Amnesty, companies would not bother outsourcing in the first place. Like religious nuts, Amnesty does not understand that people are perfectly capable of making their own decisions, if workers felt that they were able to push for better conditions, well you had better guess they would.

Nonetheless, logic does not stop Amnesty. In one case, Amnesty lobbied Wal-Mart to ban underage workers in their sweatshops in India. “They’ll go back to school,” says Amnesty (very few of them did). The rest of the children went to find work to help support their families, boys going into more backbreaking labor, and girls into child prostitution. Nicely done Amnesty you stupid shits, because what goes better with human rights than child prostitution.

What are human rights Amnesty, when humans determine everything relative to those of others? The vast majority of the Amnesty Propaganda is so out of basic economic thinking that it hides the minute amount important issues they manage to work on. Another complaint on China’s middle class one child law? Take it up with my friends Overpopulation and Disease.

My advice to you Amnesty, get the fuck out of politics entirely and stick to protesting against discrimination. Hire yourself a logical thinker before taking action, high school children are not the most straight shooters. In high school I knew a short fat four-eyed fuck in the school's Amesty International group who made paper flowers to send to domestically abused Turkish women, I think the stupidity of Amesty speaks for itself.
