Came here to say this. Cops kill just so many dogs.

Good question! I have heard that there are people who exchange money for labor, and I require money to purchase basic necessities such as food and shelter

Remember kids, when brown people do something bad, it's terrorism. When white people starve an entire population after a failed occupation, that's just because we are very concerned about misogyny. Now, starving an entire country en masse has (to my knowledge) never caused a government to be overthrown, and in this case has no chance of improving the treatment of women in the country. Nor have women in Afghanistan ever asked for sanctions, nor do they support them now that they are in place. But don't let that fool you in to thinking we're doing it for any reason other than to help women in Afghanistan.

Before you respond, please take a look at my post and notice I said _nothing positive about the Taliban _. This is about the disingenuous use of women's rights to excuse and even celebrate mass starvation.

I spent way too long trying to figure out what "tgis" stood for

Why not? They've been boosting a far-right, anti-Muslim Israeli extremist for years

We downvote conservative propaganda here, enjoy

The idea that "we should take drastic action to stop global warming" is more extreme than "we should do nothing and allow the planet to become incapable of supporting civilization" is a huge problem.

Trump voters are the victim of a con, but the con is bigger than Trump. Conservatism in general is a con that needs misinformation networks like talk radio, fox news, facebook groups, etc. Without having been steeped in that bullshit for 40+ years, Trump would never have succeeded. It's the whole ecosystem that's doing the radicalization, not just Trump.

When the Trump fever finally breaks

Oh you sweet, beautiful child. Never change.

expect the backlash to be swift and bloody

I do. I just think you and I have different ideas of who the target will be.

Well, no, but there's a big gap between "not helping" and "wounding", and this is much, much closer to the "not helping" end of that gap.
