HRC Discovers Weapons Kill People, Not Just Ideas
According to The Intercept, HRC will no longer accept sponsorships from weapon makers like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman. This stunning revelation arrived only after widespread outrage and direct action from activists pointing out the glaring hypocrisy of a 'human rights' organization literally funded by corporations profiting from mass death, including the ongoing destruction in
Gaza. It begs the question: did HRC's executives suddenly develop a conscience, or did the optics of their donors' bombs dropping on civilians finally become too inconvenient for their diversity metrics? For years, these very 'defense' contractors have raked in billions from taxpayers, selling the tools of war while simultaneously marketing themselves as champions of progressive values. Lockheed
Martin, which supplied components for bombs used by Israel, consistently scores high on HRC’s Corporate Equality Index. One might wonder if human rights considerations are merely performative, or if ethics only matter when they affect the bottom line through negative headlines. How many wars does it take for a 'human rights' group to realize death manufacturers are a bad look? Apparently, a
genocide does the trick.
