If China ruled the world
Even my occasional readers know I am a fierce critic of the USA. And why the US? Because criticizing China or Russia won’t change anything, you will only get killed. I am not saying the US doesn’t kill people, see Donald Trump at his best: “There are a lot of killers. You think our country’s…

Why should the world have Venezuela ostracized?
Venezuela is experiencing the fruits of a failed state. The total humanitarian crisis takes a toll on every single citizen. No food, electricity, clean water, health care to name a few. While there must be a culprit (partly) and, yes, it is the US, the country should be treated in the harshest manner in terms…

How are the US and Russia similar?
The heading cannot be more counterintuitive. No freedom of speech, arbitrary arrests, unbelievable corruption, authoritarian regime. But still – how are the US and Russia similar? In my article, you will find similarities, yet please note this: They may not be proportionally the same, even though they can be found on a huge level in…

Religions and human rights? Like dogs and cats
Religions are nothing but man-made, superstitious myths with no internal logic or evidence. The vast majority of the world’s major religions were created in an era when we knew little about the nature of the world: there were no peer-reviewed articles, no professional knowledge-makers, and the average IQ of the general population was low, with…

The US super-rich groups may be good. But at what cost?
The super-rich families ruling the US, which is something evidence-based, may act to benefit the US citizens. I guess you think I have gone mad again. No, the US super-rich groups may really be useful. In this article, I will present what are the benefits and negatives of the ruling forces of the US. When…

“I wish all Russians to die!” People are evil
When the media are showing horrible crimes of child rapists or murderers, people cannot compete in who is more evil. They want to inflict the worst possible pain on the culprit. But when it comes to my favorite dichotomy “us/them”, people unleash their animalistic instincts whether it is the Israeli-Hamas conflict (the humanitarian catastrophe respectively)…

Israel as the democracy in the Middle East? I don’t think so
Some people present the Israeli political system as a democracy. And the only one in the Middle East. Given the fact no other country in the world maintains the biggest open-air prison in the world (the Israeli-occupied territories) believing in Israel’s democratic principles suddenly disappears. Torture in Israeli prisons is systemic, there is limited freedom…

USA’s double standard – China and India
India is a flawed democracy with enormously deep-seated corruption. Torture is widespread in the prison system. Yet, what does really bother the US government? Yes, corruption (not the corporate one because they stand for corporations). But look closely at the US’ criticism of China. Right, they criticize everything they can. Because investing is very difficult…

The selective human rights enforcement by the USA
Human rights consist of democratic freedoms, freedom of speaking, and economic rights. The US only cares about democratic freedom and freedom of speaking. Why not the economic rights? Because it doesn’t serve its purpose. They want the countries to be democracies in order to be able to invest in them more. Of course, there are…

The US debacle: The majority of the world population lives in countries with robust systemic torture in prisons
The USA always says they do things only to improve human rights all around the whole world. But it is business as usual. There isn’t a prison system that wouldn’t be abusing human rights anywhere in the world. However, there are systems where torture and wrongdoings are much more prevalent. Denailing, bone-breaking, waterboarding, tooth extraction,…
