    That’s actually a pretty privileged pov. The hierarchy of need isn’t very forgiving. When you can’t feed your kids, or yourself, it’s hard to give all your attention to a war going on across the world. Which is why US leaders should be leading the US first, instead of dragging foreign wars into their debates so they can try to get political points before an election.

      Oh, its privileged to think dying tomorrow by bullet and bomb is a more immediately pressing issue than someone struggling to eat more than once a day? Huh, interesting.

      So youre saying that when a nation, any nation, is being actively murdered, everyone else who has starvation within their borders (which is every nation on the planet since the invention of nations, by the way, hunger has always been an unending crisis) should tell them to shove it?

      Fuck off bud. It is not privileged to expect our nation, as a whole, to put focus on stopping bloodly needless war. What a stuck up point to try and choke down.

      No one is asking the homeless and starving to enlist. No one is asking for existing internal programs for shelter or food to shut down in respect of the dying. How simple minded of you, that you cannot fathom that a country is capable of helping its own while helping its neighbors.

      Fucking shame on you.
