<Snipped quote by Fractured>

The basic human right come before the privileges.


Even if you can end up reducing those human rights?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Life without tyranny is a direct improvement, even if it’s anarchy.


How do you know that for sure?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

It can’t be the fault of the only party directly moving toward improvement. That just makes no sense.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Has the quiet one decided to chime in?


But if they don't improve because you meddled? When they would have been better off if you didn't get involved?

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Eh. I never quite recovered from the one I had a long time ago, but I’m nowhere near the edge, now.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Yeah, you probably have the right idea. We go an extra mile or so to immerse ourselves in some of the cultures. We can’t do all of them, obviously, but some.


Most places I go seem to be pretty accepting of people who are interested in them and their lives.
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

It wouldn’t be direct. It’d be their fault for squandering opportunity.


I think that still makes it your fault.
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I don’t see how it would.


If you're the direct cause of their lives getting worse because you meddled in their life...
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

It’s volunteer work. All I would want to do is create the opportunity for them to do it themselves. And again and again if need be.


Does it make you responsible if things go awry?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Right. That’s why I said if I had my way. But I know what kind of damage that could cause.


That's always the question with helping others. How far does your obligation go after you help them?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

It’s unfortunate but it’s really common. If I had my way, I’d knock the block off every tyrant in Existence, one by one.


What about the power vacuum that would create? You might end up with someone even worse taking the reins.
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Well that’s historically been shown to not be true in all kinds of places, unfortunately.


That's something I've definitely seen. It's really sad.
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Respect and human rights.


*Raises an eyebrow*
Part of the point of a right is that you don't have to earn it.
