This would be somewhat interesting if it wasn't for the fact that most of the countries in BRICS had massive human rights issues themselves or weren't otherwise problematic:

Brazil: massive problems under Bolsonaro, luckily he's no longer president

Russia: was against Ukraine, Mafia gas station state, oppression of homosexuals. Assassinated Nationals on foreign soil.

India: Hindu ethnostate with a caste system, also assassinated Nationals on foreign soil.

China: destabilizing source that uses economic influence to sabotage Western ones through state-sponsored espionage and other measures. Oppression of religious groups (Uighur, abduction of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima...), massive surveillance of its own population...

South Africa: actually probably the best of the bunch since apartheid ended though definitely not without issues

If they want so much, they can have their own financial system, but no other country can be forced to participate. It's just nose again to detract from their own crimes. Which is a shame because they're important topics that are being hijacked by these assholes. Especially the point of "unilateral protectionist measures" by a group that China is a member of is morning but ridiculous.
