    If you still believe in slavery, treating women as property and making it illegal for them to have an education etc, then you’re not the good guy.

    Awful people do occasionally end up on the right side of an issue.

      Child marriage is still legal in 38 states, you people kidnap students for having an opinion.

      Your rapist president is dismantling your department of education and slavery is still legal as per your constitution.

      You guys have killed millions and destroyed dozens of countries in the span of 50 years for economic gains, you have torture camps and trans aren’t even recognized anymore.

      stop with all this righteousness… maybe if the US stopped meddling in other countries things would change.

      you describe a decent chunk of the usa and its leaders if you just change “education” to “abortion” (although that’s probably not far either), so it’s kind of a not good guy doing a good thing vs a not good guy fighting the not good guy for the bad guy

      The US would still have chattel slavery if the slaves never resisted their chains. Women would still be the property of their husbands and not be allowed to vote or work if they did not fight for their rights. There is nothing about western “values” that made these things happen, they were not granted upon us by our holy and just rulers or even decided on by the masses in a vacuum. They were hard fought through decades of collective struggle and civil war.

      It would be a lot easier for the people of Yemen to do the same if they were allowed to experience the same peace as is experienced in the west, and their efforts weren’t constantly thwarted by imperialist powers.

          The west has had their hands in Yemen for much longer than the houthis have been firing on ships bound for Israel.
