差別と平等

A state that calls itself lawful and "equal for all" but protects only the chosen ones - lies and feeds on hypocrisy. This is not equality, but a tool of oppression. Where some are given greenhouse conditions while others are betrayed to the crowd and the police baton, that is not freedom and equality for all, but caste segregation enshrined in law, a kind of dictatorship of the majority under the mask of liberalism.

Such states, individuals, and other forms of associations love to rely on lists of the chosen: these we protect, and those we label degenerates and destroy. This practice is observed everywhere - from totalitarian dictatorships to countries that try, by their very nature, to present themselves as champions of equality and inclusiveness.

But all this equality and inclusiveness is not the result of society’s voluntary acceptance of these stigmatized groups, but the outcome of their own struggle. Without struggle, these societies exist only by the grace of diktat, and their existence can be revoked at any moment - rights and lives turned to ashes. Worst of all, it is always a selective list of protected groups, a selective list of those who can defend their rights, protect themselves, or exert pressure with the support or power of another state.

The rights of very small communities are almost never considered. Such communities have no real power to protect themselves from genocide. In reality, they are supported only by intersectional activists who understand the nature and interconnection of all forms of oppression and hatred transmitted or supported by those in power.

No "lists of the chosen" are needed. There must be one logical and humane rule:

• If a community does not harm others - it is not a crime.
• If a community does not destroy its members - it is not a disease.
• If the purpose of a community is neither crime nor disease, it has the right to protection, freedom of expression, and a peaceful life. Any repression against it is not "care" or "justice" but a form of genocide.

Any community - no matter how "alien" or "strange" it may seem - must be free as long as it is harmless. Those who leave such groups without protection become accomplices to violence and oppression. Hatred toward the harmless is not an "opinion", it is xenophobia, a crime, and cowardice.

Lists of "proper minorities" are a technology for sorting people into worthy and unworthy. They are a tool of power - to feed some while breaking and destroying others.

Even in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights this mistake is entrenched: it enumerates groups instead of setting the principle of protection itself. Because of this, tyrannies continue to find loopholes, justifying discrimination: "such categories are not on the list." Never mind that the same text says "distinction of any kind". Lists are the weapon of oppressors, allowing them to hypocritically imitate commitment to human rights.

Particular hypocrisy is shown by states that ratified the Universal Declaration of Human Rights but interpret it through religious or national filters, turning universal rights into a tool of selective repression.

For example, Saudi Arabia officially supported the declaration but continues public executions of gay people, justifying them as "incompatible with Sharia." A similar practice is characteristic of other signatory states: Iran, Russia, Egypt, Sudan, Nigeria, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates.

All of them use the declaration as a showcase for the global stage, while inside - they openly cultivate hatred and violence against LGBT people. Their signature on the document is worth no more than a hangman’s signature on a death sentence.

True justice is the universal protection of all harmless groups. Everything else is a lie covering up the dictatorship of the majority and the rule of abusers.

Freedom is not a privilege of the chosen. It is the right of everyone who does not harm others.

"Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty."
