A drastic reminder of the pure luxury we're allowed to live in in the West, and a call to arms against all those trying to threaten our democracies.

I’m reluctant to use “luxury” to describe these rights, and even more reluctant to suggest the west shares them well.

The former sets up an argument that these rights are superfluous, and the latter fails to recognize areas where the west does poorly at upholding rights, especially the limitations on speech imposed by many western governments.

The luxury and call to arms fails to reach all ears considering out government routinely does the same thing to teenagers in the states, but because they are poor and black, it's largely considered acceptable in our culture.
