In NZ it is now considered racist to say that all citizens should have equal rights.
The status quo is that some people due to their race and culture should be given more consideration than anyone else.
To speak out against it is political suicide and you will be branded racist.

Special interests - or factions - be them super minority, minority, almost half, half, slightly more than half, majority, or super majority are either collective interests (each individual interest being the same as each other individual interest in the group collected as one faction), or individual on their own interests, having no connection to anyone else's interest, and in the collective interest case, no individual can have any more rights (or wrongs) than any other individual in each group all the time, every time, every place.

The deception works when the deceivers deceive each individual who is then part of a group of deceived individuals whereby those deceived individuals in the deceived individual group share the same false projection of rights (or wrongs) onto things, or ideas such as Legal Fictions, such as corporations, or factions, or governments.

"The gun did it," is an example of the same deception. No gun ever thought about murdering someone, and no gun ever loaded itself (possessive misuse of grammar?), and then pull the part of the gun called the trigger, intending to murder someone.

If the fiction were true, then gun's could have rights, such as the right to defend itself against liars, thieves, and murderers.

It isn't a far stretch of the deception that places rights, or wrongs, on things, to a deception that places rights, wrongs, thoughts, actions, responsibility, and accountability on Legal Fictions, Corporations, or any group of individuals who belong in a group because all the people in the group think, or act, in specified ways which places them in those groups accurately.

Criminals belong in the criminal group, and they have no rights, they have wrongs that can be remedied, redeemed, or in some way forgiven; certainly not forgotten.

Criminals in corporations are criminals because they perpetrate crimes, and the whole corporation only becomes a criminal organization if one has to perpetrate a crime to belong in that criminal corporation, such as a despotic, arbitrary, government.

A despotic, arbitrary, criminal cabal, or government, or cartel, is easily identified as one when those in the faction claim immunity from the criminal rules they enforce on their victims: a confession if you will.

Edit: the comment above was edited in the first paragraph due to an incomplete sentence invovling the word "either." I finished the either/or part of the message intended.

Yes!

Hear, hear!! I’m about half way through The Smallest Minority by Kevin Williamson, which is right on point here. Irreverent and insightful. Highly recommended.

Agreed. All MEN and WOMEN are created equal. No variations or illusions.

Agreed 100%. This includes hate crime laws which often limit our speech rights. What is speech but an extension of thought. Hence they seek to control and Not only our speech but also our thoughts.
