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

Actually, tolerance of systematic violence towards women has always been justified in the name of Imperialism.

the US empire killed over 200.000 in afghanistan in a war started under false pretenses, as chomsky explains in the clip below, and it will have achieved none of its objectives, except of course the main one: profits for the military-industrial complex

That can all be true but the US government is evidently unable to save them. They "tried" for 20 years.
Replying to @marwilliamson
If the US were ever in another country for the stated reasons, this might make sense. But the US was never there to help the women. C'mon, I know you are sincere, and I admire you greatly, but you are just wrong on this.
