Hey everybody! The concept of human rights is a left-wing concept, but science that doesn’t apply to human rights is apolitical.
That’s right, according to Dave M. Van Zandt, the political spectrum of left and right means stuff American Democrats care about vs stuff American Republicans care about. He’s placed organizations like HRW, that lobbies for the human rights of people tortured and imprisoned by authoritarian regimes as ‘center-left’, and HRC, a non-partisan group that lobbies for the human rights of LGBTQ people as ‘left’.
Meanwhile, organizations like NOAA which Republicans want to defund due to their well documented war on science, Dave M. Van Zandt does not place on the political spectrum. The impartiality of science is only important when it doesn’t apply to the scientific consensus that LGBTQ people are human and that all humans should have rights.
