Tolerance of systemic violence against women can’t be justified in the name of anti-imperialism, helping other human beings isn’t “a savior complex,” and leaving the most powerless & desperate people to fend for themselves in the hour of their agony isn’t political sophistication

Are you going to argue for the US invasion of Saudi Arabia then? Cause that’s what you’re saying 🤦🏻‍♂️

Right on Marianne, you strap up, fly over there an show them who's boss. Go get em tiger! I on the other hand will be content when we're not invading foreign countries and toppling governments. If you want a war you go fight it, stop sending other people's kids.

Go save them! Real brave to send someone else. Maybe shut the fuck up.

Marianne, this is what de-colonizing looks like. We're no longer colonizers, you should rejoice.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Do you think Afghan women weren't abused & publicly beaten by their husbands in NATO controlled areas? Do it think it's exclusive to the Taliban? Are you really that naive?
