@MichaelPayneUK It is always the well-meaning ones that cause the most damage when they get it wrong; theyโre just unable to stop because โbut Iโm a good boyโ!
@TakeawayCoffee4@GadSaad With plunder when abroad. They used to do this.
With (forced) quarters when at home. They used to do this too. Then they replaced it with taxes.

If the cause of the Ethiopian famine had been a right-wing regime, it would probably be in every school curriculum alongside Live Aid.
The famine that produced the most-watched concert in history was caused by forced collectivization, forced grain seizures, and a deliberate policy of using hunger as a weapon against civilians. Four decades later, that half of the story still does not appear in most accounts of Live Aid.
Heartbreaking. I watched it once. Then I watched it again. And each time, my body hurt and my heart broke.
Four young women in Kabul were run over by Taliban forces after attending an educational seminar.
Nobody knows whether they are alive or not. Just think about that.
These women were were not doing anything wrong. They were learning.

I received this video from a woman of Afghanistan with a simply message: โplease use your platform and tell the world that they are killing us here, we are tired of Taliban. please donโt let the world forget Afghan women. we are fed up with Taliban. Enough is enoughโ.
@tanpukunokami@japan_nobunaga There will some fine print (in letters barely visible against the glass) to the effect that you need a permit to bring a gun into the store.
@scion_x_@brivael The trouble is that this too wonโt be evidence enough to convince the wannabe communists.
Theyโve ignored similar evidence all across the world, over several decades (India before & after the 1990s for example). This will also be brushed off.
