It crossed my mind recently, that (trans)human/animal rights in certain regions have long ago ceased to be aimed at defending interests of common men and nature. Instead they became increasingly selfserving and often work side by side with corporations and governments as their "soft power" appendage.
May it be possible, that indeed, NGOs are turning into sort of Church, with Karl Marx their Saint and cultural marxism their doctrine?
Corporations as the new aristocracy, NGOs as the new Church, population enslaved by guilt shaming and ever rising taxes and work hours.
NGO has been a means towards indoctrination for a while now. They act as a party between states in the international order and due to that influence they do have their zealotry.
NGO's Corporations and other international groups form a type of soft power that they use to leverage their own agenda perhaps forcing an ideology or stereotype globally.
Example's being as diverse as Women's Right Agendas which can spin-off to Western Feminist views, Birth Control, LGBT influencer's on non-friendly countries, Pornography Censorship Advocates from the UK, Animal Right Groups trying to determine what is the meat all people worldwide eat, Tree Preservation (Can't think of a real dark undercurrent there other than a bias towards certain places versus other places) Etc.
Their doctrine is that the whole world should be like them without taking in cultural differences and history into account but by extension imposing cultural appropriation.
