For over a month now, the Discriminator-in-Chief has been making good on his awful political promises—dismantling federal agencies one after another, firing civil servants by the thousands, deporting immigrants, blocking diversity funding, shutting down USAID, and cutting financial support for international humanitarian organizations.
In response, progressives are protesting to save a system that, despite their efforts, has failed to address the root causes of injustice. This administration did not come to power by accident; it is the result of decades of systemic degeneration and political decay. The so-called “left” has largely avoided addressing the fundamental issue of discrimination, instead applying humanitarian band-aids—diversity training, food pantries, and minimum wage policies—that fail to tackle the structural roots of oppression. Diversity training doesn’t eliminate discrimination, food pantries don’t end poverty, and raising the minimum wage doesn’t resolve the growing concentration of wealth and power.
At the core of discrimination is a mindset—a way of thinking that prioritizes self-interest over collective well-being. Discriminators see only themselves; everything else is secondary. This self-centered worldview is deeply embedded in the cultural essence of the White-West.
Yesterday, Jeff Bezos shared a letter with The Washington Post staff, stating:
“I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too, of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.”
These seemingly simple words—”personal liberties and free markets“—have been used for centuries to justify slavery, colonialism, and the extreme concentration of capital. This is the very essence of anti-humanism at its root. The issue of freedom and human rights should not be about MY personal freedom or MY rights alone, but about ensuring that everyone has access to these fundamental rights. True justice follows the Golden Rule—to treat others as we would want to be treated.
Education should also reflect this principle. It should not merely serve as a tool for individual advancement but as a means to foster collective well-being. Teaching should instill concern for others—ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has access to the same quality of education.
Our objective must be clearly presented and agreed upon: a guarantee that all 8 billion people on this planet can live with dignity, security, and peace. This moment presents an opportunity for all humanists worldwide to break the discriminatory mindset that we have fallen victim to and build a truly universalist movement. Progress that benefits only a few is no progress at all. True transformation must be built on the fundamental principles of human dignity, solidarity, and justice for all.
