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.
What’s it matter who’s doing something bad? bad is bad plane and simple. What’s happend to Afganstan is terrible, The Taliban and Afganastan are not the same thing. Fuck the Taliban and may the best come to Afganastan.
Legit though, little homies leave when it’s dry again, so at our house, only the bitey ones get trapped and released. Never seen a brown recluse here (which is good, what with that name; they’d be failures if I’d seen them), but we have a healthy widow population that rarely gets inside.
Spiders is family. They be our bouncers that handle the riffraff.
Exception: crawling on me. Anything on the body is likely to get thumped away, and damn the cost in invertebrate life. Unless it’s a jumper, because them’s homies even on the body. Little guys can set up shop and keep gnats out of my ears if they want. That’s the exception to the exception. Is that an inception at that point? I have no idea, I just like spiders.
In my house spiders are terminated on sight. No exceptions. I could not give AF about the bugs they keep out, I’d rather have 20 flies that I’d have to kill myself than (knowingly) let a single spider live here.
This inevitably comes up every time he is mentioned. Yes, he was very racist, even for the time. That mainly came forth from the fact that he was a very socially disturbed and scared person. Which isn’t an excuse, nu i think we should be able to appreciate the amazing writing and the influence he has had on the literary (horror) landscape without just focusing on the fact that he was racist.
The good people of Afghanistan have been under violent US occupation for decades, and as their final move, the US looted the central banking reserves.
This effectively drained the savings of everyday Afghanis. They no longer have access to their bank accounts. The US stole all the money.
I often wonder, would the good people of Afghanistan be able to overthrow the evil leadership of the Taliban? I wish they could, but overthrowing the Taliban is much less likely when the US has left you in a state of devastation, poverty, and famine.
Then those same western chauvinists can post memes like this, delighting in the Afghan people’s suffering after causing so much of it. Disgusting.
I never said anything at all about Afghanistan. I think it’s terrible the state if affairs. The Taliban are fuck faces. The Taliban amd Afganastan are not the same thing.
