The biggest example of this is of course the document that begins with proclaiming that it is a self-evident truth that all men are created equal. The grand opening gesture, and the belief in it, was only marginally blemished by the fact that its authors condoned and perpetuated slavery

food, shelter, healthcare, education, freedom from torture and equal treatment under the law are (amongst others) all human rights, and none of them require us to be nice to fascists :)

the difference between you and a fascist can't just be that you hate different people, it has to be that your principles apply even to the people you hate

"what, so we should care about the human rights of fascists now?" yes! a human right that can be denied to any person can eventually be denied to every person! rationalising the selective dehumanisation of people we don't like is literally how fascism justifies and perpetuates itself

Jennifer's Body was literally what got me thinking about this! And yeah, the turn on Megan Fox was REAL indicative of the particular misogyny of 00 - 10. I think it was especially vindictive BECAUSE she was the exact kind of hot our culture valued and still had the "audacity" to speak out.
