    If a straw man would get you to home the homeless, instead of worrying about a woman in a burka halfway around the world, then yes. And before you say we can do both; then why don’t we?

      Great, you’re arguing philosophy without knowing what a Strawman Argument is.

      Or you think I’m dumb enough to go down a conversation in bad faith. But no I won’t go into this discussion.

        I’m steel-manning the homeless. Trying to get you to understand that capitalism and colonialism caused the situation that made Afghanistan need aid. If they can get you to focus on the world’s problems, you’ll forget that there’s problems at home.
