Yes not everything is down to ecominics, the bombs and bullets are probably a more significant factor. Being unable to feed your family is bad, burying your family is worse.

And yes, the middle class Afghanis can't put up a fight for many reasons, one of which is that they largely stopped existing. The moment they are locked out of their personal and business savings, they become poor desperate Afghanis.

Can you explain your disagreement or argument? I dont understand what you are getting at, and "elaborate on pre-2001 afghanistan" is a very broad topic.

The idea behind codifying abortion rights is that it prevents the supreme court from eliminating those rights.

That's why it was such a popular idea for decades. For example, Obama famously ran on codifying Roe. After he was elected, dems had a majority. If they would have codified Roe then we would still have that right today.

Or maybe the two decades-long invasions did extreme damage and brought insane brutality to a poor population?

When America was in control, we set up a strong central bank system to help stabilize the country. Afghans filled the bank with their savings, these funds were outside of the control of the Taliban. The middle class, the opposition to the Taliban, were growing. Then as the US left, we looted every penny. Overnight thousands were bankrupted, leading to economic depression and a huge gain for the Taliban.

Civilization actively rejects Afghanistan.

Who said Hezbollah's rocket launches into Israel wasnt terrorism?

This is a disgusting celebration of a terrorist attack.

I'm sure you people will have a different perspective when a Ukrainian kid has her face blown off by an exploding russian cell phone.

Not recognizing the victim's humanity here is a sickness.

I think this is horrible advice.

Giving up is a healthy coping mechanism, especially when you consider the dire alternatives. People like OP are throwing themselves into the brick wall of job applications, over and over, and they are bloodied. They need respite. Giving up is not permanent, throwing yourself into a brick wall until you kill yourself is.

I graduated with a good Computer Science degree 3 years ago and I am still unemployed. Multiple people in my graduating class have killed themselves, and I would have as well if I had kept throwing myself into that brick wall.

I'm 3 years and 3000 applications in (not counting the AI-generated ones), and I have 0 job offers. Do your back of the napkin math and tell me how many more thousand applications, how many more years, until I can get a job?

Charging your phone is murder because coal-fired power plants kill 43,000 people per year (in the US alone).

I gave many specific examples you have ignored. I tried to engage with you in good faith but it's obvious that sentiment is one sided. Have a good day.
