    it must fall

    That seems very radical. Why entirely abolish an organization that generally fights for the greater good, just because it failed once or a few times? What is going to take its place?

      Because next time it will be gay people.

      Next time it will be Muslims.

      Next time it will be Black People.

      Next time it will be Women.

      Because Fascism does not stop and must not be tolorated.

        You could also say that Amnesty is doing something, and if you tear it down, then nothing will be done.

            You don’t have the ability to build anything that does anything nearly as useful as amnesty international does for humanity.

        Have I ever implied that nothing should be done? Of course we need to fight for change. I simply doubt that axing the entire organization is a good solution. That would be like fighting your potential ally.

          We’re not axing them, we don’t have that power it’s just rhetoric. We’re pressuring them. They need to know that the general public will NOT stand for billionaire bigots sticking their ugly noses in our affairs. That’s the position we’re in now because THEY caved.
