  • Domínguez, Gómez, and the Castillos are among the farmers supporting draft legislation, under review by the lower house of the Colombian parliament, that would ban genetically modified (GM) seeds, which they claim threaten their traditions, livelihoods and food sovereignty.

    This is ridiculous. Can you imagine the Amish pushing legislation banning automobiles because it threatens their buggy industry? Because that's what this is

  • So you missed all the gay rights stuff that happened? Yes some of it is being undone currently but progress is nonlinear. Such rights still exist in entirety in many states.

    Also Title IX protecting against sex discrimination, women in the military, etc.

    You can't see evolution happening in real time. You need to look backwards.

  • democracies aren't famous for granting new freedoms to citizens either

    The history of the US has been one of slow and steady increasing of individual freedom. Similar with other democracies I assume.

    Non-land owners can vote, slavery abolished, women's suffrage, the equal rights act, abolition of poll taxes... Even the right to free speech has generally been expanded over time to include things like porn and anti-war speech.

    US history doesn't start with Trump's first term.
