Reply to comment by YouLostMeHere in Founder of Afghan girls’ school project arrested in Kabul: UN by upvote-for-rights

... huh?

Last I checked, America wasn't across-country killing girls and preventing their education.

Your Reddit handle is quite on-point here :)

Look, I hate whataboutism but they didn’t say that the situations are the same. Who the f would argue that? Looking at America’s policies, enforced ignorance and terror against the population are quite accurately on display. It’s just a matter of degree.

I can list rationale for both but I get the sense that it’d be wasted effort based on your engagement with this person.

One of the answers was that I received seemed to imply that there was a secret US Government conspiracy to kill off girls and prevent them from learning in any shape or capacity, which is the reason for my snark-ridden replies here.

I certainly consider myself to be open to logical dialogue here. I would be interested to discuss findings or observations.
