CedarTea on Nostr: Groups like the ACLU and other institutions that structure themselves as liberal ...
Groups like the ACLU and other institutions that structure themselves as liberal rights-based NGOs tend to spend their time pursuing the most extreme end of whatever so-called principle they're fighting for. So they do things like defend nazis to prove that even the most *extreme* deserve freedom of speech. Meanwhile, they neglect genuine political prisoners languishing behind bars. They opt for performance of an ideal, rather than actually materially advancing that ideal.
