You seem to imply that selectively fighting in those cases is bad. I'll agree that it's better to always fight for them, but isn't it better to fight for them sometimes than to not fight at all?
It ain't. I hate hypocrisy.
'sociological' truth?
Then please use a different word. "Truth" implies objectivity.
Sociological 'truth'?
Peoples rights differ from country to country based on their culture, mostly, and changing them would mess with their national identity.
In South Africa, the "national identity" was for a long time that people with a darker skin were second class citizens. Do you think it was good that foreigners put pressure on them to change that? What you describe for the treatment of LGBT people isn't as bad, but they certainly have fewer rights than straight cis people.
Didn't have a clue about that. Just a sec... Black people treated blacker people just as we treated black people, before white people arrived in Africa?
I can tell you a little true story about a friend of mine and myself if you like
Yes, I would like that. Also, "$$$, power, moar" (if you feel like writing it.)
Story about my friend is a long one. As for money and power:
Take late Fidel Castro as an example. He wasn't a rich man, he was a powerful man. Heck, take Donald Trump as an example. He is a rich man, but now he has a true power. He can invade other countries, change laws etc... Power comes from obedience of others. Sure you can get that with money, but not in the same way, and not on the same scale.
