    Michael Tracey Retweeted Marianne Williamson

    This has been one of the primary pseudo-humanitarian justifications for perpetual war in Afghanistan literally since the beginning. Laura Bush spent her husband's entire presidency proclaiming how wonderful endless US military occupation was for womenhttps://twitter.com/marwilliamson/status/1162724447888916480 …

    Michael Tracey added,

    Marianne WilliamsonVerified account @marwilliamson
    The US withdrawing troops from Afghanistan without ensuring the rights and protection of women is is unacceptable. The Taliban’s history of brutality towards women must not be forgotten or ignored in these negotiations. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/16/world/middleeast/afghanistan-peace-womens-rights-.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage …

        Even before that, the media’s claims of starving Afghans in late 2001 and W’s mawkishness led to a shift from Rumsfeld’s punitive air power + special forces expedition to an 18-year “humanitarian” occupation.

        Yes and Diane Sawyer walked around Kabul in a burka with a camera inside showing how tough the view was for women inside the oppressive garment. Not telling anyone that the women dressed in modern attire before US backed the taliban.

        Stay in Afghanistan to protect women’s rights? I guess these same women from Afghanistan didn’t mind when their sons and husbands died in this endless war. The same people they depend on for protection, safety, and food. There is a better way to help them than warfare. #Tulsi2020

        It is opposite in Syria, where we supported rebels who give women zero rights.

        I would like to clarify that this statement applies primarily to the FSA and its jihadist transformation. The Turkish/Northern Syrian Kurds (Rojava), whom the US also supported, have one of the most gender egalitarian societies in the world.

        That's probably a bad example considering the women who lead that protest got executed.

        just more contradicting, liberal hegemonic rhetoric that puts a magnifying glass on women’s rights in countries we’ve destabilized while ignoring our coziness with dictatorships that have a horrible history of equal rights.

        I am an avowed @TulsiGabbard voter. @BernieSanders is my second choice. I like @AndrewYang and @marwilliamson too but when I hear their FP and Assange stances I become disillusioned with the latter two.

        The U.S. used RAWA to sell the public on the invasion of Afghanistan, they quickly became opposed once they saw the U.S. slaughter of civilians that ensued.
