a side of human rights

You mean like expanding the United States' illegal drone assassination program?

That status quo comfort you're yearning for is exactly what lead us here in the first place.

That stays quo was built on incredible amounts of violence inflicted on the global south, and now the imperial boomerang is coming back around.

So no, I don't wish we had 'a bit of that status quo'.
