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.

Next you’re going to tell me you can solve homelessness by giving people housing

Are those graphs accurate? The modern one seems right, but I have no idea about pre-revolution France

Politics are about simple issues. Do we want to solve homelessness? Give people homes. Do we want to solve poverty? Give people money. Should we or shouldn’t we support an ongoing genocide? Geez, I’m not a fucking brain genius, someone find an ethics professor.

The only complicated thing is getting people to understand this and act on it.

Of course, but in this specific case, we’re talking about something that could literally mean rich people pay more money for the same thing.
