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

Marianne,America is performing forced sterilizations on immigrant women in border prisons right this moment. Why aren’t U doing something abt this? This is literally the nazi agenda. Instead the pentagon got you convinced they’re gonna make sure Afghan women have access to skirts

Women getting drone-bombed by the US military is feminism. Good job, Moonbeam.

Guns/bullets cannot maintain peace in chaotic & disoriented communities inflicted by war, lasting peace can only be achieved thru impartial negotiation where both conflicting parties are on the table. @UN @POTUS shouldn't always wait until war breaks out be4 talking about peace.

Worry about the systemic violence against women within and by the US military before you extend your concern in service of empire's aims

Taliban gets stronger longer we stay there because some of the Afghans support them to get rid of us. Us leaving Afghanistan alone will be more helpful than occupying it in the long run.
