And I think there’s no way to maintain an imperial sphere of influence without imposing unthinkable injustice. You keep accusing me of not caring about “starving kids” because that’s not where I draw the line; but you’re misunderstanding that this situation crossed the line for me long, long ago.
It just sounds like you’re suggesting this is all unavoidable which is bonkers. Making aid contingent on not having folks like this in charge would be a great start but I’m sure there’s some super important geopolitical reason to support these individuals… www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

I can see that. But I’m absolutely not saying it’s unavoidable, I’m saying that to fight it we need to take into account the forces that are driving it. And to do that, I think we need to unsentimentally, unflinchingly admit that western capital (a) drives policy and (b) doesn’t mind genocide.
