The whole Afghanistan situation is a failure on every president since we gave guns to the taliban to fight the Russians. The Afghan gov’t is also to blame for being so corrupt as to literally crumple without a fight. Nothing good was gonna happen if we left and nothing good would happen if we stayed. The whole situation was fucked and it is the fault of the American military complex (presidents and politicians included) for wasting billions of dollars and thousands of lives.
I honestly feel like the Afghan government used and abused our military for their own good. We helped them for so long and they're government didn't have a strong military to defend themselves. We would have been there forever. I think Afghanistan was going to fall no matter what we did. I feel bad for their citizens, but at some point we would have left and they would fall.
We are here from 3 decades of half measures. We never committed to stabilize the region like we did for denazification of the Germany, where 80 years later we are still stationed in Germany. Just sending troops and killing thousands of people guilty or otherwise while not actually helping any of these governments prep for future conflicts, puts us here. Unable to pull out without losing everything and making all the soldiers and innocents lost lives comepletely in vain, and still not making progress in stabilizing the middle east. Every president since Bush Sr. is responsible for this mess
Literally everyone saw it coming though. No afghan wants to fight for and risk his life for an exiled warlord that got placed in power by America and doesn't actually care about their own people. The option was fight and risk your life for this bad guy or surrender to this bad guy.
and to add, pakistan is going to have to help out the country again. :( we've dealt with the after-effects of 9/11 as we were bombed by the U.S. looking for Osama bin laden, and now that the Taliban is a bigger enemy on our doorstep we'll have to deal with them and help clean up the country.
@@ac2395 you don’t think they’re slightly related? Either way, women are being treated as less than or only good when they’re being used by a man who doesn’t even love them. Haha?
American presence didn't change the conditions for women in rural Afghanistan and only changed their conditions for a short period in the cities. The truth is that America knew they couldn't win this war and they shouldn't have gone in the first place. As much as I would love to have democracy and equal rights in Afghanistan, war is simply not the way to do it (and keep in mind this war has gone on since 2001). In the long term I hope Afghans can eventually build a better country for themselves without intervention, and in the short term I hope the Taliban continues allowing people to leave Afghanistan like they seem to be doing now.
@@technophobian2962 It could have been won, but the tactics used were all wrong in the last 80 years there has only been one successful counter-insurgency campaign carried out by a Western Power that is the Malayan Emergency however for political reasons we will never use those tactics (Briggs Plan)
It's incredibly ironic that presidents and parties are blaming each other. It was a failure of US policy in Afghanistan dating back to Bush. It's not one president's fault, its all of theirs.
We were supposed to have safely pulled out months ago in may, Biden didn't want to give trump credit for ending the war so Biden delayed it, Taliban got pissed because Biden didn't hold up his side of the deal. It's all Bidens fault or more likely the people telling Biden what to do. The war is stupid yes but the unessential bloodshed from pulling out of Afghanistan poorly that is on his hands.
It’s a failure dating back to Reagan. If we would’ve never funded the Mujahideen they might just be a footnote in history, but instead Reagan feared the Soviets so much he funneled taxpayer dollars and weapons to a fundamentalist Islamic group. Anyone with half a brain saw the rise of religious extremism in Afghanistan coming, but Reagan doesn’t have a brain to begin with
@@baseddino What a naive outlook. This is not a failure built in 7 months. The US should have kept its last airforce base open permanently, just like the hundreds of other bases they have around the world. Unfortunately it became a political tool to earn praise by both Trump and Biden.
No no the way this was handled was terrible by the current administration you can blame our involvement in the Middle East on bush and everyone else BUT the Biden administration fucked up hard here
I believe it’s more a lack of education, and them not being able to understand complex concepts like speed/velocity… or even that the air is freezing up there
@@MrBLAA Lack of education is part of it, but the biggest contributor is desperation. For them, it's either die on the ground or die trying to get out. Especially for the families that helped in the war effort, they know all too well what the taliban does to them when they catch them.
If they were that desperate, and if they were willing to risk their lives clinging to the side of a plane, why didn't they take up arms and risk them to fend off the Taliban? They had a republic if they could keep it, and they didn't.
That earthquake in Haiti is kind of heartbreaking. There’s a kid at my job who’s been trying to call his family and they haven’t answered for over a week. This is heavy
The reality is that the Afghanistan situation is the biggest bipartisan, national failure for the US in the last 40 years. I hope they can at least help the people they've left now to fend for themselves.
@@fuck_it why would I do that? In what world would that make sense, when we've had both Democrat and Republican presidents since the war started? How about you knock of the petty bull and we all acknowledge this was a colossal failure on the part of the US as a whole.
The only people to blame are American citizens who supported invading Afghanistan for no apparent fucking reason I mean you thought this was gonna be any different? Look at your track record from the countless meaningless shit you started in the middle east??
@@fuck_it People on both sides of the isle are condemning biden for how poor the evucation was out of Afghanistan. Any president would be criticized for this horrible evacuation plan.
I honestly feel so scared and heartbroken for the everyday folks in Afghanistan that are literally just trying to live life, especially women. It's not their fault the governments and military are corrupt and don't seem to give a shit about them. They're just people. No one deserves this.
Its actually a huge deal. I know it sounds bad but when you are in the worst situation you need to be optimistic or you'll drown. The fact that my niece can still go to school calms us both a bit.
Is it just me or are all of these far right religious dictators disguising fat men who couldn't get a women unless they made them. Most of these alt right incels would turn America into this if they could.
and the 2 trillion dollars we spent over the wars went to waste and god knows what deals politicians made under the table. Wars are a breeding grounds for corruption. Imagine those 2 trillion dollars going into communities especially during covid...
@@Astelch it's a shit show regardless of how the cake is sliced - from CIA funding the mujahideen in some cold war proxy war bs which then morphed into the taliban, to the justification of entering afghanistan illegally being 9/11 despite the purveyors of the tragedy are known to be Saudi, and then 20 years spent doing god knows what (allowing private contractors to extract natural resources), and then hastily pulling out and the country falling in days.... this really is the worst timeline
@See Truth about 9/11 Nope, it was me, I am solely responsible for 9/11, it was entirely my fault. Turns out Microsoft Flight Simulator actually controlles planes in real life, who'da thought?
I think the thing that bothers me is that I've lost friends and classmates to afganistan and to see it being taken in days it makes me question what was it all for?
It was all for nothing the war was pointless from the very beginning in the seventies. But maybe you can try to remember, that they died fighting for the values they held sincerely in their hearts
Don't know what it was for, considering the 17 hijackers were Saudi Arabian and Afghanistan had nothing to do with 911. My best guess was this...they wanted this.
I feel horrible for the women in Afghanistan right now. Normally I'm desensitized to things in the news, but my heart genuinely hurts for them. I know the men don't have it easy either, but these women are about to suffer and go through things that are considered the worse humanity has to offer.
So called intersectional feminists like the Squad and Justice Democrats don’t have a leg to stand on advocating for Afghan women’s livelihoods while screaming at moderates to withdraw from Afghanistan ASAP for years.
While we were there, the widows of afgan security forces had to have sex with officials to get the money WE were sending them. Nobody in charge genuinely cares about them, we're allies with Saudi Arabia after all. We also worked with warlords who had child sex slaves while there, and dishonorably discharged the soldiers who blew the whistle on it.
@@WhoDidIKill what do you want then? We spent 20 years training them and they didn’t defend whatsoever. Like what is America supposed to do? Seriously.
@@floridamainn104 leave them alone. What about all the LGBT people being executed in Saudi Arabia, one of our biggest allies? Should we invade them next? This shit is not our problem.
"The second half of this video, in particular, is pretty heavy and dark." *First story includes someone saying to shoot women in the head and cut them up*
Still not as bad as what's happening in Afghanistan. Bad and a very disturbing thing to say, but in Afghanistan I think they're actually doing it. Sticks and stones.
@@tessyclair4752 I think the point was it's all dark, I was expecting the first story to be more lighthearted but while it's not as dark as what's happening in Afghanistan, it still wasn't lighthearted by any means.
The fact is, we’ve known this outcome for Afghanistan for probably 15 years; there have been constant reports of corruption, “business as usual” in the more rural areas, despite massive efforts and attempts at education. It was going to be an inevitable shit show; had you asked me a year ago when this was announced, I would have said the Taliban would return in a month, tops; that it happened in a week, I’d say it turns out the military leaders were actively complicit with the takeover.
I am not exactly anti-war, but I think America has a massive habit of blowing money on half-efforts. If we won't commit, we need to do nothing. If we're ever going to occupy a country, we should plan for full occupation, IE, conquering them and installing our own government, planning to be there for a long time, having it be a territory of the US, planning to invest into it economically, etc, otherwise it'll fall apart. Yes, that's expensive, and a problem due to our adversary's, but its the only solution to get things done. I'm not saying I am pro-this option, but I support that or doing nothing over doing 'something'. Just look at how we handed Covid, or continue to. Dump trillions of dollars into people staying at home, just to lift mandates and 'get back to normal' as soon as there is a light at the end of the tunnel.. which leads to more spread, repeat, repeat, repeat. America doesn't want to be see as an authoritarian country, perhaps its because we're a democracy after-all, but our country is a mess because we can't decide on anything universally. It just leads to allot of loss with not much to gain. We're pissing away our inheritance.
The troops US trained, where allegedly not trained to counter a force like the Taliban. They got no counter insurgency training, what they got was conventional warfare training
@@ViolentMLG What would be nice is for other countries to help out our efforts to stabilize such extreme countries. Instead, the world watches us with popcorn to see what happens next instead of giving a helping hand. We've been in Afghanistan for 20 years and it took the Taliban a week to reclaim it. We're giving fish to the people, not showing them how to fish for themselves as the classic saying goes. We never taught the Afghani people how to defend themselves from such a force. On top of that, the US has too many rules to fight people like the Taliban who fight without rules. It just didn't make sense to stay this long to begin with imo.
@@xonor13 Look up ISAF. The US wasn't alone in Afghanistan. They just were the ones in command and the ones laundering billions through the country into private (US) security forces and government hands. The wishful nation-building was a hoped-for side-effect. On the rules topic: The US keeps breaking all of them. Torture? Extrajudicial executions? Kidnapping? Prison without trial? Military action in foreign countries without UN mandate? US foreign politics is a mix of stabilising and de-stabilising, and that's being generous.
A friend of mine commented that veteran suicide is going to skyrocket. Imagining losing friends, limbs and years of your life only to see the situation you fought for bled for was ultimately for nothing. It was a sobering thought and one we should all be aware of, if you have a friend relative or coworker who served in either Iraq or especially Afghanistan check up on them and just make sure they’re doing alright . It’s the least some of us can do at this time
It was always for nothing... you think America genuinely gives a fuck about the people of the countries it goes to help? It's all a game for them to play with their expensive war toys. All of you go to war for absolutely nothing.
@@iHopeyoure0ffended LMAO. You're like one of those edgelord atheists shouting into a funeral about how their loved one is gone forever because god isn't real. Like, "all of you go to war for nothing"? The basic context of this person's comment indicates that they, themselves, are not in the military. But if they were, your response reads like you're trying to get them to commit suicide. Just because you personally know that America exports war doesn't make you intelligent. Nor does it prove your superiority over people who happen to end up in the armed forces. Some people are low income and literally just trying to afford a good life or get an education in a country designed to limit choices and funnel people into the military. Some people are rolling the dice in a rigged game to try and climb up one more peg on the class system. You, on the other hand, seem like a butt-hurt twelve year old.
@@iHopeyoure0ffended It's easy to say that from an outside perspective but that doesn't mean that all the soldiers believe(d) that as well. At some point you HAVE to believe in what you're risking your life for because if you don't you're accepting that your life is essentially meaningless. This is where you have veterans looking back on the past 20 years and their experience there and being so depressed over the situation now. You can't just tell a veteran who lost so much that yes it was always for nothing and meaningless, that's the sort of mentality that drives these people to suicide.
Agreed and it’s especially sad that their argument is “well afghan govt gave up so we should too”. Like, ultimately troops aren’t there for the sake of the government, they’re there for the sake of the people who live under the government. The people who are now stuck there under oppressive rule.

I re-enlisted because I felt like my friends needed me. while the american government as a whole may not care, I can say that the ground soldiers really tried to make security happen. They cared.
It's a shock that politicians kept saying that the Afghanistan military could fight them off when I can't remember a single time their soldiers, that we spent money training, didn't loose when they were confronted. I remember stories of the "trained troops" turning tail and completely abandoning a group of their own heavily armed tanks and weapons the second they came across the Taliban.
@@soulslikefan6760 oh they did. The people of Kabul loved having us there. Just not enough of them.

I lack the personal experience of being on the receiving end of fat phobia personally, but I can confidently say that a lot of people who work out obsessively or obsess over looks tends to be incredibly insecure about there own body, self image based on past insecurity/trauma that stem's from either childhood or teen years etc being bullied or made fun of etc. In other words as shitty as it is, and It shouldn't be excused, you should know its not personally directed towards you, these are just very sad/bitter people that never managed be comfortable with themselves and are projecting that anger towards others especially if they dont fit that perfect mold they are themselves so desperately obsessing over achieving. All of this to say dont let them drag you down man, its not worth it when you realize where its coming from.

I feel sorry for the civilians in Afghanistan. Sorry that the people who were supposed to protect them, the police, the military, political leaders were so spineless and corrupt they did nothing.
I think this emphasizes that police and leaders and politicians are spineless everywhere. When push comes to shove they are going to save themselves and not the rest of us. We need to stop putting so much faith in our officials.
WE should be sorry, since the United States Government directly placed those police, military, and political leaders in charge of the "Country" we went in, destabilized, installed war lords to fight the other war lords, looked the other way at corruption and poured more money in. Some positive changes occured but none of it was grass-roots or organic. The simple truth is that we NEVER should have been there to start, and any result following those initial massive disruptions would be catastrophic, we were just delaying the inevitable, playing god until we got bored.

After watching Vice's "This is what winning looks like" video on Afghanistan a few years back, the speed of the Taliban taking control over the country so fast does not surprise me. I hope the innocent people get through this.
Dude I remember watching that and seeing that it was truly unwinnable situation. We failed everyone qnd my heart weeps for them all especially those kids.

Absolutely. I know the Biden administration fumbled this completely, but I’m just an average citizen and I don’t know the first thing about these kind of things. I’m just trying to stay informed. The blame game is doing nothing for us now. The people in Afghanistan need help. That’s all I can care about right now.
It seems that the whole thing was fumbled on all fronts. The fumbled the evac from Trump initiating it due to the people wanting the troops out without understanding the situation. To the Biden admins opperation of the evac. The the former Afghanistan Government and military not giving a shit. If they dont want to fight for their own country then why bother fighting for them.
I like how everyone is blaming Biden and Trump for the debacle in Afghanistan and ignoring the two men that started it all, being George Bush and Dick Cheney.
@@themanofathousandnames2243 The US created the taliban to destabilize the, up to then, successful soviet effort to modernize Afghanistan because we needed to make communism look bad. We should have just left it the hell alone and it would've taken care of itself. Absolutely the fault of the US.
Not only am I sad for the Afghan people but it’s just awful that we as a country sunk so much money, so many years, and the worst of all so many American lives into what ultimately did nothing but drain the US.
Just wanted to say thanks Phil. There's so much information out there regarding the Afghanistan situation. It's really nice to have your team's help sorting through it and you presenting it in a way that's easy to understand. Much appreciated
I'm genuinely mad over this entire Afghan situation. Years of time invested, Money wasted that affected our own economy but the most tragic of all was the amount of human lives lost. Just for our government leaders to point fingers, this is why I HATE politics as a whole.

My heart goes out to everyone in a shittier position at the moment, especially Haiti and Afghanistan, and I hope that things don't end up as awful as I fear they will.
My heart breaks for Afghanistan. There is a lot of questions about how things should have or could have happened but part of me can’t help but feel like I agree with what Biden is saying. After two decades if the government and military weren’t willing to fight for their country then idk what else we could have done other than just be a permanent presence in the country. I wish this had been handled better but as a poor lower class working person, I don’t know what I would have done better in their shoes and I’m conflicted on how I feel. 😞
Biden was one of the people who voted for the war in Afghanistan as a Senator. He was VP for 8 years during the war. He has presided on our loss of the war. HE is to blame, alongside all those who made it happen, like George W. Bush, and Obama who expanded the war. Biden shouldn't shift blame, and instead should be working to fix the situation, if he's even capable of doing that...
There's mad clips of the squandering the training we provided. Never wearing their gear right, getting high nonstop, the didn't last a week because nobody wanted to. It's not a country it's just a bunch of villages together running the land
@@MaefigHistory either the US didn't start the war, and the Taliban took over then, or they started the war, attempted to train the afghan army like they did, and then leave, letting the afghan army take over their role, but they gave up, they never even tried, and let the Taliban take over in a week of the US leaving, I'm not from the US, but i can still see this is still a majority of the Afghanistan army's fault, not Biden's What do you say the fix is? Risk US troops lives again, even more so, retaking everything, just to have the same thing happen because the Afghan army doesn't do their job?
@@balex2344 Simple fix to that would've been to not even be there in the first place. I don't see as to how this isn't partially Biden's fault, when he was one of the Senators who voted to go to war, and was VP who advocated for nation-building in Afghanistan.
Every one is trying to figure out which president is to blame for Afghanistan but I got a real simple answer for you. All 4 of them. Yes, even Biden seeing as he was Obama's VP. All 4 of them and their administrations hold responsibility.
Bush made a horribly dumb mistake by how he went in and invaded and stayed causing the whole mess. Obama said he was going to pull out, got the info and realized pulling out was not an option and that too was a mess. Trump made the deal to pull out which is what people wanted but was a mess and a bad deal. Biden ignored the taliban breaking the deal, didn't let the U.S. or Afghanistan military get/give air support and just moved out in a panic making it all worse and end how it ended. Out of the 4 it seems Obama did the best?
ItsThiefy - It’s always the Regan Administration that keeps popping up recently as the root for all of the horrible things happening today... from social programs to global warming to now this...

We need a deep dive for Afghanistan... a dedicated deep dive that gets us focused on the critical points. Everyone is posting narratives, but we need laser focus on what's what! #please
They went into Afghanistan for Ted try years trained and armed afrighstan solders and even funded war lords in that country to “help” stop the talsiban but turns out we were just giving free aid to a country that didn’t give a single fuck about its people, including not giving a fuck about the government and how the Afghan soldered just handed thier weapsond down to the taliban, basically a long war con that was made from bullshit the momen we said we’re pulling, out suddenly the taliban takes over the government and the president leaves the country
That’s what happened now mainstream media news and mitlitaru generals who gots tons of money and oil from Afghanistan’s, want to go back against the presidents orders, so it’s all a fucking scam
Hey Phil, I have a great suggestion for a BAMF after watching the Haiti story. Her name is Raymonde Jacques, better known as Ms. Monde in her home in KY. She is an amazing woman who has given her life to helping those less fortunate, and is constantly going to Haiti to help build new schools and teach new children and help their minds blossom. I just think she's an amazing woman that deserves soooo much more recognition than she already gets.
Part of that seems to be referencing more about wanting troops to be removed, but yeah. It's definitely a whole mix of faults starting with Bush and everything else all the way to where we are now.
Bexar county is pronounce “bear” county. An Indian chief that couldn’t read or write signed his name with an “X” so to honor that they spell Bear with an X
Even if something is a “joke” though it can still be bad. Words have power, language is literally what we use to form our reality, and if people constantly dehumanize women with their “jokes” it leads to dehumanizing behavior against them. These “jokes” don’t happen in a vacuum, women are killed every single day because a man did value her life, so to think that joking about it doesn’t normalize it is just asinine. A fun little game I like to play to tell people the details of my rape when they make rape “jokes”. Gets them to shut the fuck up real quick.
Or people need to accept that, just because a type of humor is tasteless to them, it doesn't make joke statements.

My heart breaks for all of Afghanistan, but especially for Afghan women. I can't imagine losing so many of my rights practically overnight. There is still lots of progress to be made when it comes to Canadian (& American, British, etc.) women's rights, but we are also so lucky to live where we do.
Define "lots" of progress, specifically in the context of "rights". As far as I'm aware, in the UK, US, NZ, Australia, Canada and other western/first world countries, there is not one legal statuary law which grants men an advantage over women. Not one. So for you to shoehorn in your own personal projections on a situation about rights ACTAULLY being taken away is incredibly vaccuous. I pity you.
I understand where you are coming from and the situation for women is not going to get better after the transfer of government. But it is important that people understand that outside of US controlled territory, womens rights never truly improved. The afghan government critically failed to implement any actual laws that would grant women more rights. The talibans only managed to grow to this size because of US and soviet intervention during the cold war, and the fact that the US never left. Which agitated a lot of afghan citizens who saw the US as an oppressive occupying force. Atleast now, the fighting and bombing that left entire families dead will hopefully end.
Situation in Afghanistan is the real problem, women in uk, us, canada don't just have equal rights but have better rights than men. Stop trying to be the victim for attention.
The situation in Afghanistan was never going to be good. When money is poured into any situation without a clear plan of what is to happen, there will be large amounts of corruption that will undermine any efforts.
Right, the withdrawal would have been exactly the same under Trump or under Obama. It was a lost cause the day it started. At least Biden had the balls to actually follow through and pull the plug.
@@cradio52 well yeah, but it could have been done with more to time for people to leave the country and without the millions left in weapons that are now in the hands of the taliban.
We all knew it would be bad. Anyone who's ever worked with the Afghan National Army knew how little they cared top-to-bottom. What's terrifying and disheartening about this is how we're doing it. We should've been return shipping, scrapping, or even fully scuttling everything we were leaving behind. It was never any secret that as soon as we were gone the Taliban would take back over, but did we have to leave them functional Blackhawks, MRAPs, missiles, small arms, artillery, armor, and facilities? When we're inevitably asked to go back to stop human rights abuses, it'll make Fallujah look like a fucking joke.
I cant believe people on yt are censored over respectful conversations about lgbtq+, world events, try-on-hauls etc. But its perfectly fine to talk about shooting women like cattle. Go ahead, have your restrictions, "protect the kids," but at least be consistent.
The problem with this statement is, these problems are not even remotely equal. Respectful conversations??? I'm almost sure this is troll, if so, ya got me
Yeah, because your sexual orientation and gender hug-fest has anything on this. Jesus, how self absorbed can you be? These two things are not in any way equal. Have some damn empathy instead of trying to make this about gender crap.

I’ve commented many of times about Haiti on here. It’s so hard to see the country my family grew up in so much turmoil *HOWEVER* I feel like there is this unspoken lie about Haiti that it’s the country’s fault for the turmoil; That’s not the case. France and the United States have done nothing to atone for the wrongdoings they committed to this country for centuries . I find it interesting no matter the presidents (Republican or Democrat) haven’t done shit to provide much aid to the country in comparison to countries. I partially believe it’s a racial issue but I really would like to know why. My family is from Belle-Anse and we still have land in that area. The last time I was there was in 2008. I pray one day I will be able to go back 🇭🇹🙏🏾
sure always somebody else his fault, where its true or not does not matter. if you are getting bullied you dont try to change the bully you learn how to fight. And further more look at what your familiy did you ran, i understand why but the people themselves are the only people truely able to build up a nation. If all the people do is leave and pray for change, nothing wil change ever.
After the bloodshed that created Haiti during its fight for independence, I would say whatever debt France owes has been paid Also what does America owe Haiti? An apology for not trading with a racist regime in the 1800's?
A lot of ppl are just mad that Lizzo doesn't hate herself. While I haven't experienced fatphobia personally, I can say that it pisses ppl way off when someone they deem "lesser" loves themself.
THIS. A body shape doesnt dictate your health. Lizzo is plus size but she is vegan and does more excercise than most Gym owners and is fit enough she can sing, play the flute AND dance her heart out and barely sweat. Im plus size and ive had disordered eating since i was 11 (honestly im 21 and still struggle to get more than 2 meals a day). But despite this, despite both irl proof and science, the "fat = lazy and eats non stop" rhetoric is still so prevalent in our society that there are apparently men saying we should be brutalised and violated for existing. It saddens me so much. Im trying to accept the fact that despite my desperate attempts to avoid it, i ended up fat and im trying to embrace my body and be confident and there are so many people who do not like it one bit. I think you hit the nail on the head, this air of mildly ableist weight superiority breeds such a toxic distaste for anyone deemed "lesser" who doesnt try to hide themselves.
Yeah, no. If you are in the public you get ripped on. If you think Brad Pitt doesn't get hatemail, you are out of your mind. The problem is everyone has different levels of comfort with it. That's exacerbated with the reality that some people that are looked at as "social pillars" are an immediate conduit by making any situation about the topics that relate to their followers. If your followers call you a moral compass, your reaction will be to lean into the opinion you are famous for. Full stop- sexism, racism, etc is UNACCEPTABLE. However, do you think Lizzo was attacked for her skin tone more than Kanye? Yes, attacking her for her weight is unacceptable, but she didn't say that. She brought up racism with it. It makes her argument more compelling to her followers, and the negative comments more ascerbic. If you scream "fat is beautiful", there will always be a person that has a negative opinion of that. People are attracted to all shapes and sizes. Telling people they are ___-ist because they don't support you and clearly it's only because of race and aesthetic, it's going to end up like this 100% of the time.
Besides that, it also comes from a lack of understanding. People assume that she's unhealthy because she is so heavy, and so it's unhealthy to love being unhealthy. They lack the context that she is as healthy as she can be, and medically this is just how she is. I feel like if more people understood that, she would receive a lot less hate.
@@spectral__ Stop, overweight is unhealthy and unattractive. Im overweight, and also have been not overweight. Nothing positive comes from obesity. No overweight person is running at their peak. Accept reality.
Yeah. I think it would have been better to say it was heavy and only going to get worse. Because just because something doesnt look as bad in comparison doesn't mean it isn't bad.

Afghanistan has long been called the “Graveyard of Empires.” So many empires tried and failed to conquer Afghanistan. What we are witnessing is historically profound. It is incredibly disheartening watching this catastrophe while being ill-equipped to help.
Ill equipped? There is no political will to do anything about fixing the mistake of the allied forces, with the usa in the lead. The country was pretty stable for years, women got education, quality of life was drastically improved and all it took in the last years was a relatively small security/peace keeping force. Being ill equipped is really not the issue here, infact it's a lame excuse if anything
Lmao "graveyard of empires" is just college kids ripping edgy quotes off of facebook. 1,500 years of Imperial rule beg to differ. It helps vacuous people sound profound, and runs defense for the current military-industrial complex that failed its campaign. Whether that failure was accidental or on purpose, I can't say.
Plenty of empires have succeeded in conquering Afghanistan, Alexander the great, the Mongols, Timur and the Mughals, in fact for most of its history its been apart of a foreign empires, even the British achieved their goals in Afghanistan by having the Durand line reaffirmed after the third Anglo-afghan war. The graveyard of empires isn't true.
It's a land of PROXY WAR, cause when USSR wanted to take over the USA started to arm and train the Taliban, when the USA and Nato came there Pakistan sheltered the Taliban to train and arm them with money pouring in from countries like Qatar, Saudi, China and pretty sure Russia as well.
People treat big girls so meanly, I found this to be especially true in the United States. When I was big, people felt like they could tell me anything, like my body wasn’t there to serve me and carry me around, but to entertain them. Unsolicited people told me they would find me so much more attractive if I was smaller. I found it SO ODD that people felt entitled to comment on my body unprovoked. It wasn’t even about my health (which is a different thing entirely) it was them telling me that they liked me better when I was small. I couldn’t wrap my head around the entitlement. It was so rude! People are so afraid of fat, and I mean fear in the purest possible meaning of the word. People have told me if they gained weight like me that they’d hate themselves. Or if they gained weight at all they would hate themselves. Since I grew up in a different culture (the Virgin Islands) it was very foreign to me. Fat to me was something temporary and recurring. Sometimes you’re bigger, sometimes you’re smaller, your body is reacting to life. Some people are bigger some people are smaller, it often has to do with genetics. When people would extrapolate this to mean something about how beautiful they were or how smart they were, as somehow their IQ went down from a number on the scale going up, my brain just could not COMPUTE. When I probed deeper I heard from a couple of people a level of condescension I wasn’t prepared for. I understand, on a much smaller scale, what Lizzo is talking about. It gets to you to have people hate you for something that doesn’t even make sense, or have people not willing to give you a chance just because you’re big. It’s arbitrary and saddening.
I had a drunk guy this week look at me (I thought he was going to ask me for money) but he said "hey" I replied "hi, how are you?". " Better than you" I rolled my eyes "seriously" and then he started shouting his phone number at another smaller thick girl (who was not interested) leaving the nail place. At least I'm not a drunk assholes who couldn't get any.
The taliban have been patiently waiting in the shadows, they took their moment and just steamrolled through the entire country. This was never a question if, it was a question of when
@@BonesCapone after all someone just mentioned something I forgot. Obama surged troops, had drones kill civilians and kept us in afghanistan far too long. So except for bin laden obama made bigger mistakes than bidens. At least talibans know that if they dare try attack USA again we will slaughter them again while they stuck in the cities again and not in remote caves.
Afghanistan was a house of cards. Even another 20 years would not have helped. It sucks for the people that live there in a way I can't even articulate but pulling out is the right call.
I've tried to talk with fatphobic people about why they think the things they do, and honestly it feels very similar to talking with homophobic or transphobic people. I saw an ad for clothes from Target on Facebook that had a fat model, and some people were saying it "glorified obesity." I asked them what about a fat person wearing a shirt and looking happy "glorified obesity." And all they could do was spout the same stuff about how it was an unhealthy lifestyle, they wouldn't live very long, etc. Which is true but like...how does a single picture of a fat person being happy glorify or promote that? From a purely capitalistic point of view, it benefits Target to show they have clothes that fit all sizes of people. Especially with fat people being a growing (heh) demographic. Some people absolutely cannot stand the sight of a fat person being happy, or successful, or having any amount of power or influence. And ESPECIALLY women. And the way they talk about fat people is less like any kind of "concern" for their well-being, and more about putting them in their place until they are a weight that person deems decent for public viewing.
no one really cares about fat people because they have choosen to be fat and then act like a victim when someone says they are fat so there is no sympathy for them... like im a 5'6" male and have been called short my whole life "cause i am" just like lizzo is over weight, but im not over here getting mad thet there arent 5ft tall manikins at walmart becasue i wanna feel included for not being the average height lol
@@zak_king16 Wow, another person who cares so little about fat people that they go through the comments on a video discussing Lizzo and reply to someone else's comment lol. It's funny, when I don't care about something I just don't talk about it and move on with my day.
I’ll just say, I’m 25 and have been averaging my weight between 45-50kg for the last 3 years. I have never made fun of a fat person except my sister because she’s larger than me and makes fun of me for being too skinny. All I ever say is “fat boobs don’t count” because she calls me flat chested and surfboard skinny. Are those compliments? Is that her trying to see me live my best life? Is that her “concern” for me as a skinny person? I see more overweight people complaining about skinny people, than I have EVER seen for the reverse.
It feels like we’re living in a world with people who still have the backwards mentality that they are better than another group and therefore are allowed to oppress that group. No empathy whatsoever. The situation is horrible, with no clear solution for Afghanistan! It makes me angry of the possibility of what may happen to the women that will lose their fundamental rights and be treated as sub-humans.
There are passages in the christian bible that tells you to kill non believers. Even children. I'm not surprised that a country that holds that book on high is filled with people ready and willing to put those passages into action.
Afghanistan was very much a mirror of the current west till the Taliban was formed. My grandad was a general there in the 70/80s and it was very much modern with tall buildings and fountains everywhere and women being safe and having free rights. Dont be fooled by what it is now this is the result of years of multiple superpowers destabilising a country for resources and interests.

We love revenge in America, for instance one of the only circumstances where we will treat a minor as an adult is in order to exact vengeance on them. We had "won" after 9/11 within two months and then did nothing of value for the next 20 years.
It’s weird seeing some conservatives criticize Biden for pulling out and condemning him for abandoning the afghan people and suggesting Trump would have handled everything perfectly, and seeing trump gloat about how difficult he made it to stay. I now truly believe both sides are rotten
We will never know what would be different if this was Trumps plan. All we know is that Biden’s plan failed miserably. His withdrawal plan happened in reverse order. Why would you remove the troops before you remove any American citizens and military equipment? We basically gave the Taliban military equipment for free for them to use to harm people.
Trump gave off the attitude to not fuck with the US to other countries so I think just with his presence could even be enough for this not to happen, look at North Korea, China situations with trump
For anyone saying Leaving Afghanistan is a bad move: you're not wrong, but you're not right either. 30+ years, Trillions of dollars spent. 90k + Afghani's have died and if we stayed, that would've continued until we ripped off the bandaid.
Not a bad move but such a rapid departure after 20 years of us presence isnt the best way to go about it. More should had been done to create a smooth transition but is what it is now. That was what the backlash was really about. Severly doubt that the US would send troops back in until drastic changes like another 9/11-esque event happens.

@@OtsdarvaOS it's not that they dont wish to fight. I read some of the words from US soldiers dreading the fate that awaits the brothers in arms they made in the afganish soldiers.

I don't understand why people are being so naive. "How did this end up being such a shit show" ... It was always going to be. That was obvious twenty years ago.
Yes so stupid. If you feed a group of people with weapons then of course they gonna use it. And now the taliban has conquered afghanistan. Great job usa
Exactly. It doesn't matter who was in the White House, this was always going to happen. Could it have been planned a little better? Yep. But, ultimately, this was always going to be the way it went down.
A friend of mine told me about his tour in Afghanistan, trying to train the Afghan military on his specialty, but he could see the apathy from the Afghan military leadership. I think that hits on one of our errors: we tried to influence nationalism in a tribal culture. Now the whole thing is a catch-22.
the snopes guy didnt go to school for journalism, but if he's ever been to any school he wouldve known that copying sentences and paragraphs verbatim is not how you should be writing anything lmao. he knew what he was doing.

I think that at this point in time, arguing over who's to blame for the situation in Afghanistan is a waste of precious time. They should focus on trying to get as many people to safety as possible, and once things are less chaotic, then we can start thinking about who all should be held responsible.
Will we remember to do that though? Because in my opinion we weren’t holding the people responsible for Isis accountable. History is repeating itself and it hasn’t even been a decade
Our presence in Afghanistan and the entire gwot has done exactly what it was meant to. It made a certain group of people very rich. Our withdrawal is a clusterfuck and it was never going to be different. The one thing that I'm specifically pissed about is all the linguists who helped us that are still in country are going to die. We promised them visas for their service and dragged our feet and now they'll die if they don't get out.
Even worse it was a political play where generals up their own ass without any real wars to participate in got free reign to carry out their malformed anti-terror campaigns while politicians grand stand
The thing that makes me so sad with Afghanistan, is that it's a little bit of a no win scenario.

The whole Afghanistan situation is a failure on every president since we gave guns to the taliban to fight the Russians. The Afghan gov’t is also to blame for being so corrupt as to literally crumple without a fight. Nothing good was gonna happen if we left and nothing good would happen if we stayed. The whole situation was fucked and it is the fault of the American military complex (presidents and politicians included) for wasting billions of dollars and thousands of lives.
I honestly feel like the Afghan government used and abused our military for their own good. We helped them for so long and they're government didn't have a strong military to defend themselves. We would have been there forever. I think Afghanistan was going to fall no matter what we did. I feel bad for their citizens, but at some point we would have left and they would fall.
We are here from 3 decades of half measures. We never committed to stabilize the region like we did for denazification of the Germany, where 80 years later we are still stationed in Germany. Just sending troops and killing thousands of people guilty or otherwise while not actually helping any of these governments prep for future conflicts, puts us here. Unable to pull out without losing everything and making all the soldiers and innocents lost lives comepletely in vain, and still not making progress in stabilizing the middle east. Every president since Bush Sr. is responsible for this mess
Literally everyone saw it coming though. No afghan wants to fight for and risk his life for an exiled warlord that got placed in power by America and doesn't actually care about their own people. The option was fight and risk your life for this bad guy or surrender to this bad guy.
and to add, pakistan is going to have to help out the country again. :( we've dealt with the after-effects of 9/11 as we were bombed by the U.S. looking for Osama bin laden, and now that the Taliban is a bigger enemy on our doorstep we'll have to deal with them and help clean up the country.

It's incredibly ironic that presidents and parties are blaming each other. It was a failure of US policy in Afghanistan dating back to Bush. It's not one president's fault, its all of theirs.
We were supposed to have safely pulled out months ago in may, Biden didn't want to give trump credit for ending the war so Biden delayed it, Taliban got pissed because Biden didn't hold up his side of the deal. It's all Bidens fault or more likely the people telling Biden what to do. The war is stupid yes but the unessential bloodshed from pulling out of Afghanistan poorly that is on his hands.
It’s a failure dating back to Reagan. If we would’ve never funded the Mujahideen they might just be a footnote in history, but instead Reagan feared the Soviets so much he funneled taxpayer dollars and weapons to a fundamentalist Islamic group.

The fact is, we’ve known this outcome for Afghanistan for probably 15 years; there have been constant reports of corruption, “business as usual” in the more rural areas, despite massive efforts and attempts at education. It was going to be an inevitable shit show; had you asked me a year ago when this was announced, I would have said the Taliban would return in a month, tops; that it happened in a week, I’d say it turns out the military leaders were actively complicit with the takeover.
I am not exactly anti-war, but I think America has a massive habit of blowing money on half-efforts.
If we won't commit, we need to do nothing.
If we're ever going to occupy a country, we should plan for full occupation, IE, conquering them and installing our own government, planning to be there for a long time, having it be a territory of the US, planning to invest into it economically, etc, otherwise it'll fall apart.
Yes, that's expensive, and a problem due to our adversary's, but its the only solution to get things done.
I'm not saying I am pro-this option, but I support that or doing nothing over doing 'something'.
Just look at how we handed Covid, or continue to. Dump trillions of dollars into people staying at home, just to lift mandates and 'get back to normal' as soon as there is a light at the end of the tunnel.. which leads to more spread, repeat, repeat, repeat.
America doesn't want to be see as an authoritarian country, perhaps its because we're a democracy after-all, but our country is a mess because we can't decide on anything universally. It just leads to allot of loss with not much to gain.
We're pissing away our inheritance.
The troops US trained, where allegedly not trained to counter a force like the Taliban. They got no counter insurgency training, what they got was conventional warfare training
@@ViolentMLG What would be nice is for other countries to help out our efforts to stabilize such extreme countries. Instead, the world watches us with popcorn to see what happens next instead of giving a helping hand. We've been in Afghanistan for 20 years and it took the Taliban a week to reclaim it. We're giving fish to the people, not showing them how to fish for themselves as the classic saying goes. We never taught the Afghani people how to defend themselves from such a force.
On top of that, the US has too many rules to fight people like the Taliban who fight without rules. It just didn't make sense to stay this long to begin with imo.
@@xonor13 Look up ISAF. The US wasn't alone in Afghanistan. They just were the ones in command and the ones laundering billions through the country into private (US) security forces and government hands. The wishful nation-building was a hoped-for side-effect.
On the rules topic: The US keeps breaking all of them. Torture? Extrajudicial executions? Kidnapping? Prison without trial? Military action in foreign countries without UN mandate?
US foreign politics is a mix of stabilising and de-stabilising, and that's being generous.
A friend of mine commented that veteran suicide is going to skyrocket. Imagining losing friends, limbs and years of your life only to see the situation you fought for bled for was ultimately for nothing. It was a sobering thought and one we should all be aware of, if you have a friend relative or coworker who served in either Iraq or especially Afghanistan check up on them and just make sure they’re doing alright . It’s the least some of us can do at this time
It was always for nothing... you think America genuinely gives a fuck about the people of the countries it goes to help? It's all a game for them to play with their expensive war toys. All of you go to war for absolutely nothing.

But if they were, your response reads like you're trying to get them to commit suicide. Just because you personally know that America exports war doesn't make you intelligent. Nor does it prove your superiority over people who happen to end up in the armed forces. Some people are low income and literally just trying to afford a good life or get an education in a country designed to limit choices and funnel people into the military. Some people are rolling the dice in a rigged game to try and climb up one more peg on the class system. You, on the other hand, seem like a butt-hurt twelve year old.
@@iHopeyoure0ffended It's easy to say that from an outside perspective but that doesn't mean that all the soldiers believe(d) that as well. At some point you HAVE to believe in what you're risking your life for because if you don't you're accepting that your life is essentially meaningless. This is where you have veterans looking back on the past 20 years and their experience there and being so depressed over the situation now. You can't just tell a veteran who lost so much that yes it was always for nothing and meaningless, that's the sort of mentality that drives these people to suicide.
Agreed and it’s especially sad that their argument is “well afghan govt gave up so we should too”. Like, ultimately troops aren’t there for the sake of the government, they’re there for the sake of the people who live under the government. The people who are now stuck there under oppressive rule.

The way politicians in power react to Afghanistan is insane. They act surprised that Afghan forces were overrun and that it was a "misscalculation".
It's a shock that politicians kept saying that the Afghanistan military could fight them off when I can't remember a single time their soldiers, that we spent money training, didn't loose when they were confronted. I remember stories of the "trained troops" turning tail and completely abandoning a group of their own heavily armed tanks and weapons the second they came across the Taliban.
They were not overrun, they did not fight. The "country" if you want to call it that, does not want to be "Saved".

Every one is trying to figure out which president is to blame for Afghanistan but I got a real simple answer for you. All 4 of them. Yes, even Biden seeing as he was Obama's VP. All 4 of them and their administrations hold responsibility.
This is the only true answer.
Bush made a horribly dumb mistake by how he went in and invaded and stayed causing the whole mess. Obama said he was going to pull out, got the info and realized pulling out was not an option and that too was a mess. Trump made the deal to pull out which is what people wanted but was a mess and a bad deal. Biden ignored the taliban breaking the deal, didn't let the U.S. or Afghanistan military get/give air support and just moved out in a panic making it all worse and end how it ended. Out of the 4 it seems Obama did the best?

people need to realize the difference between a "joke" and "disguising my true thoughts behind a comedic tone"
Even if something is a “joke” though it can still be bad. Words have power, language is literally what we use to form our reality, and if people constantly dehumanize women with their “jokes” it leads to dehumanizing behavior against them. These “jokes” don’t happen in a vacuum, women are killed every single day because a man did value her life, so to think that joking about it doesn’t normalize it is just asinine.
A fun little game I like to play to tell people the details of my rape when they make rape “jokes”. Gets them to shut the fuck up real quick.
Or people need to accept that, just because a type of humor is tasteless to them, it doesn't make joke statements.

My heart breaks for all of Afghanistan, but especially for Afghan women. I can't imagine losing so many of my rights practically overnight. There is still lots of progress to be made when it comes to Canadian (& American, British, etc.) women's rights, but we are also so lucky to live where we do.
Define "lots" of progress, specifically in the context of "rights".
As far as I'm aware, in the UK, US, NZ, Australia, Canada and other western/first world countries, there is not one legal statuary law which grants men an advantage over women. Not one. So for you to shoehorn in your own personal projections on a situation about rights ACTAULLY being taken away is incredibly vaccuous. I pity you.
I understand where you are coming from and the situation for women is not going to get better after the transfer of government. But it is important that people understand that outside of US controlled territory, womens rights never truly improved. The afghan government critically failed to implement any actual laws that would grant women more rights. The talibans only managed to grow to this size because of US and soviet intervention during the cold war, and the fact that the US never left. Which agitated a lot of afghan citizens who saw the US as an oppressive occupying force. Atleast now, the fighting and bombing that left entire families dead will hopefully end.
Situation in Afghanistan is the real problem, women in uk, us, canada don't just have equal rights but have better rights than men. Stop trying to be the victim for attention.
Jesus Christ... White women.
@@VincenzoInfi SOOOOO NOT THE POINT!!!
The situation in Afghanistan was never going to be good. When money is poured into any situation without a clear plan of what is to happen, there will be large amounts of corruption that will undermine any efforts.
Right, the withdrawal would have been exactly the same under Trump or under Obama. It was a lost cause the day it started. At least Biden had the balls to actually follow through and pull the plug.

Yesterday I was thinking about how many Americans wanted out of Afghanistan. None of us imagined it would unfold like this
Are you sure about that?
you didn't imagine this would happen but we all knew this would happen from the start
We all knew it would be bad. Anyone who's ever worked with the Afghan National Army knew how little they cared top-to-bottom. What's terrifying and disheartening about this is how we're doing it. We should've been return shipping, scrapping, or even fully scuttling everything we were leaving behind. It was never any secret that as soon as we were gone the Taliban would take back over, but did we have to leave them functional Blackhawks, MRAPs, missiles, small arms, artillery, armor, and facilities? When we're inevitably asked to go back to stop human rights abuses, it'll make Fallujah look like a fucking joke.
Pretty sure a lot of people did think it would happen like this with sleepy creepy Joe calling the shots.
Sorry but how did you think it was going to go?
I cant believe people on yt are censored over respectful conversations about lgbtq+, world events, try-on-hauls etc. But its perfectly fine to talk about shooting women like cattle. Go ahead, have your restrictions, "protect the kids," but at least be consistent.

I’ve commented many of times about Haiti on here. It’s so hard to see the country my family grew up in so much turmoil *HOWEVER* I feel like there is this unspoken lie about Haiti that it’s the country’s fault for the turmoil; That’s not the case.
France and the United States have done nothing to atone for the wrongdoings they committed to this country for centuries . I find it interesting no matter the presidents (Republican or Democrat) haven’t done shit to provide much aid to the country in comparison to countries. I partially believe it’s a racial issue but I really would like to know why.
My family is from Belle-Anse and we still have land in that area. The last time I was there was in 2008. I pray one day I will be able to go back 🇭🇹🙏🏾
sure always somebody else his fault, where its true or not does not matter. if you are getting bullied you dont try to change the bully you learn how to fight.
And further more look at what your familiy did you ran, i understand why but the people themselves are the only people truely able to build up a nation. If all the people do is leave and pray for change, nothing wil change ever.

A lot of ppl are just mad that Lizzo doesn't hate herself.
While I haven't experienced fatphobia personally, I can say that it pisses ppl way off when someone they deem "lesser" loves themself.
THIS. A body shape doesnt dictate your health. Lizzo is plus size but she is vegan and does more excercise than most Gym owners and is fit enough she can sing, play the flute AND dance her heart out and barely sweat. Im plus size and ive had disordered eating since i was 11 (honestly im 21 and still struggle to get more than 2 meals a day). But despite this, despite both irl proof and science, the "fat = lazy and eats non stop" rhetoric is still so prevalent in our society that there are apparently men saying we should be brutalised and violated for existing. It saddens me so much. Im trying to accept the fact that despite my desperate attempts to avoid it, i ended up fat and im trying to embrace my body and be confident and there are so many people who do not like it one bit. I think you hit the nail on the head, this air of mildly ableist weight superiority breeds such a toxic distaste for anyone deemed "lesser" who doesnt try to hide themselves.
People are envious of confident people.
Yeah, no. If you are in the public you get ripped on. If you think Brad Pitt doesn't get hatemail, you are out of your mind. The problem is everyone has different levels of comfort with it. That's exacerbated with the reality that some people that are looked at as "social pillars" are an immediate conduit by making any situation about the topics that relate to their followers. If your followers call you a moral compass, your reaction will be to lean into the opinion you are famous for. Full stop- sexism, racism, etc is UNACCEPTABLE. However, do you think Lizzo was attacked for her skin tone more than Kanye? Yes, attacking her for her weight is unacceptable, but she didn't say that. She brought up racism with it. It makes her argument more compelling to her followers, and the negative comments more ascerbic.
If you scream "fat is beautiful", there will always be a person that has a negative opinion of that. People are attracted to all shapes and sizes. Telling people they are ___-ist because they don't support you and clearly it's only because of race and aesthetic, it's going to end up like this 100% of the time.
Besides that, it also comes from a lack of understanding. People assume that she's unhealthy because she is so heavy, and so it's unhealthy to love being unhealthy. They lack the context that she is as healthy as she can be, and medically this is just how she is. I feel like if more people understood that, she would receive a lot less hate.

Afghanistan has long been called the “Graveyard of Empires.” So many empires tried and failed to conquer Afghanistan. What we are witnessing is historically profound. It is incredibly disheartening watching this catastrophe while being ill-equipped to help.
Ill equipped? There is no political will to do anything about fixing the mistake of the allied forces, with the usa in the lead. The country was pretty stable for years, women got education, quality of life was drastically improved and all it took in the last years was a relatively small security/peace keeping force. Being ill equipped is really not the issue here, infact it's a lame excuse if anything
Also the fact that it took 20 years to realise "oh we can't solve this. Time to yeet"
Lmao "graveyard of empires" is just college kids ripping edgy quotes off of facebook. 1,500 years of Imperial rule beg to differ. It helps vacuous people sound profound, and runs defense for the current military-industrial complex that failed its campaign. Whether that failure was accidental or on purpose, I can't say.
Plenty of empires have succeeded in conquering Afghanistan, Alexander the great, the Mongols, Timur and the Mughals, in fact for most of its history its been apart of a foreign empires, even the British achieved their goals in Afghanistan by having the Durand line reaffirmed after the third Anglo-afghan war. The graveyard of empires isn't true.
It's a land of PROXY WAR, cause when USSR wanted to take over the USA started to arm and train the Taliban, when the USA and Nato came there Pakistan sheltered the Taliban to train and arm them with money pouring in from countries like Qatar, Saudi, China and pretty sure Russia as well.
People treat big girls so meanly, I found this to be especially true in the United States. When I was big, people felt like they could tell me anything, like my body wasn’t there to serve me and carry me around, but to entertain them. Unsolicited people told me they would find me so much more attractive if I was smaller. I found it SO ODD that people felt entitled to comment on my body unprovoked. It wasn’t even about my health (which is a different thing entirely) it was them telling me that they liked me better when I was small. I couldn’t wrap my head around the entitlement. It was so rude!
People are so afraid of fat, and I mean fear in the purest possible meaning of the word. People have told me if they gained weight like me that they’d hate themselves. Or if they gained weight at all they would hate themselves. Since I grew up in a different culture (the Virgin Islands) it was very foreign to me. Fat to me was something temporary and recurring. Sometimes you’re bigger, sometimes you’re smaller, your body is reacting to life. Some people are bigger some people are smaller, it often has to do with genetics. When people would extrapolate this to mean something about how beautiful they were or how smart they were, as somehow their IQ went down from a number on the scale going up, my brain just could not COMPUTE. When I probed deeper I heard from a couple of people a level of condescension I wasn’t prepared for. I understand, on a much smaller scale, what Lizzo is talking about. It gets to you to have people hate you for something that doesn’t even make sense, or have people not willing to give you a chance just because you’re big. It’s arbitrary and saddening.
:) thanks for voicing this. Here in the US there's a very internalized connection between size, value, intelligence, and beauty.
I had a drunk guy this week look at me (I thought he was going to ask me for money) but he said "hey" I replied "hi, how are you?".

Good point. The saying apparently goes: The US had a watch, while the Taliban had time.
Afghanistan was a house of cards. Even another 20 years would not have helped. It sucks for the people that live there in a way I can't even articulate but pulling out is the right call.
It was never going to be a clean exit. As awful as this is, it needs to happen.
I've tried to talk with fatphobic people about why they think the things they do, and honestly it feels very similar to talking with homophobic or transphobic people. I saw an ad for clothes from Target on Facebook that had a fat model, and some people were saying it "glorified obesity." I asked them what about a fat person wearing a shirt and looking happy "glorified obesity." And all they could do was spout the same stuff about how it was an unhealthy lifestyle, they wouldn't live very long, etc. Which is true but like...how does a single picture of a fat person being happy glorify or promote that? From a purely capitalistic point of view, it benefits Target to show they have clothes that fit all sizes of people. Especially with fat people being a growing (heh) demographic.
Some people absolutely cannot stand the sight of a fat person being happy, or successful, or having any amount of power or influence. And ESPECIALLY women. And the way they talk about fat people is less like any kind of "concern" for their well-being, and more about putting them in their place until they are a weight that person deems decent for public viewing.
Lmao who wants to read all that? No one cares about fat people. Live your life, eat until your inevitable development of heart disease and stfu
no one really cares about fat people because they have choosen to be fat and then act like a victim when someone says they are fat so there is no sympathy for them... like im a 5'6" male and have been called short my whole life "cause i am" just like lizzo is over weight, but im not over here getting mad thet there arent 5ft tall manikins at walmart becasue i wanna feel included for not being the average height lol

I’ll just say, I’m 25 and have been averaging my weight between 45-50kg for the last 3 years. I have never made fun of a fat person except my sister because she’s larger than me and makes fun of me for being too skinny. All I ever say is “fat boobs don’t count” because she calls me flat chested and surfboard skinny. Are those compliments? Is that her trying to see me live my best life? Is that her “concern” for me as a skinny person?
I see more overweight people complaining about skinny people, than I have EVER seen for the reverse.
It feels like we’re living in a world with people who still have the backwards mentality that they are better than another group and therefore are allowed to oppress that group. No empathy whatsoever.
The situation is horrible, with no clear solution for Afghanistan!
It makes me angry of the possibility of what may happen to the women that will lose their fundamental rights and be treated as sub-humans.
There are passages in the christian bible that tells you to kill non believers. Even children.
I'm not surprised that a country that holds that book on high is filled with people ready and willing to put those passages into action.
Typical, rape, murder, then "executed" for having the audacity to have sexual relations (raped) with the rapists. Great stuff to hear.
Afghanistan was very much a mirror of the current west till the Taliban was formed. My grandad was a general there in the 70/80s and it was very much modern with tall buildings and fountains everywhere and women being safe and having free rights.

Most of the people that wanted the US out of Afghanistan wanted it ASAP. Seems like their leadership should have figured shit out while we were occupying for the last few decades. It's hard to say what the correct decision was.
@@OtsdarvaOS it's not that they dont wish to fight. I read some of the words from US soldiers dreading the fate that awaits the brothers in arms they made in the afganish soldiers. They have been left without weapons, logistics and leadership. Wars are not won only with intention. The afganish people feel betrayed and rightfully so.
I saw a clip of people falling off the plane literally hundreds of feet in the air. Absolutely bone-chilling.
I don't understand why people are being so naive. "How did this end up being such a shit show" ... It was always going to be. That was obvious twenty years ago.
It was never going to be a clear exit out of the country. And you got keyboard warriors who think they could've done a better job.
Lol they made a mess of things and now it's just surprised pikachu face? Smh makes no sense
Don’t forget the real reason for the war, the American Military Industrial Complex.
Gotta fund the so-called “defence” (what a joke) budget.
Yes so stupid. If you feed a group of people with weapons then of course they gonna use it. And now the taliban has conquered afghanistan. Great job usa
Exactly. It doesn't matter who was in the White House, this was always going to happen. Could it have been planned a little better? Yep. But, ultimately, this was always going to be the way it went down.
A friend of mine told me about his tour in Afghanistan, trying to train the Afghan military on his specialty, but he could see the apathy from the Afghan military leadership. I think that hits on one of our errors: we tried to influence nationalism in a tribal culture. Now the whole thing is a catch-22.
the snopes guy didnt go to school for journalism, but if he's ever been to any school he wouldve known that copying sentences and paragraphs verbatim is not how you should be writing anything lmao. he knew what he was doing.
LOL, that's what I was thinking too. Has he not been to school at all? And he's cool every? And his whoever will take pleasure isn't serious. Even a goddamn Elementary School
Military members have been saying for years that if we pulled out of Afghanistan we'd be back in a week. But why listen to them.
All together now: humor is not a moral Get Out of Jail Free card
I think that at this point in time, arguing over who's to blame for the situation in Afghanistan is a waste of precious time. They should focus on trying to get as many people to safety as possible, and once things are less chaotic, then we can start thinking about who all should be held responsible.
Will we remember to do that though? Because in my opinion we weren’t holding the people responsible for Isis accountable.
History is repeating itself and it hasn’t even been a decade
Our presence in Afghanistan and the entire gwot has done exactly what it was meant to. It made a certain group of people very rich.
Our withdrawal is a clusterfuck and it was never going to be different. The one thing that I'm specifically pissed about is all the linguists who helped us that are still in country are going to die. We promised them visas for their service and dragged our feet and now they'll die if they don't get out.
Even worse it was a political play where generals up their own ass without any real wars to participate in got free reign to carry out their malformed anti-terror campaigns while politicians grand stand
Seriously. Is this how the fkn U.S. repays them putting their life on the line? They had YEARS!
The thing that makes me so sad with Afghanistan, is that it's a little bit of a no win scenario. I had cousins in OIF III and they said that the coalition forces didn't really seem motivated unless their platoon was watching them and prompting them. He mentioned how he felt just like his dad in Vietnam, but in the desert.
Phil: this one’s gonna be a downer so I’m gonna start with lighter stuff
First story: racism and fatphobia
Me: uh oh
Obesity is nothing to celebrate and no amount of grandstanding will change that.
@@snikerz5886 Bullying and racism is nothing to celebrate and no amount of grandstanding will change that.
@@snikerz5886 If taking a stance against someone saying that fat girls should be shot in the head like cattle and then sliced up for sex counts as celebrating obesity I have a lot of questions.
Just because he laughed at his own statement doesn’t make it a joke .
I laughed at it
Therefore its a joke
@@Giliver i laughed too. Dark humor is still humor. People are so sensitive nowadays. Comedians are actually scared to try new material because twitter/online cancel culture can really set someone back. Its sad i miss the days when people didnt get offended at every single little thing.
@@alexmeyer8133 Go fucking cry about it. Not everything is free game to joke about idk why that's so difficult for people to grasp like are you actually children
@@alexmeyer8133 the reality is that women are murdered and sexually assaulted at alarming rates. If you really look into the statistics and think about how many people YOU KNOW who have been victims then maybe you’d have some empathy for why that particular “joke” isn’t being taken as funny by the majority of people.
And if you don’t see it then you might just also be a sociopath. IDK. But I worked emergency mental health and I’m telling you, I’ve had people forcibly hospitalized for mental health observation/evaluation for comments less violent than the ones that dude made in that podcast. So if you think that’s funny you might want to consider the potential consequences. People who have been involuntarily committed can’t own firearms, my guy. Can’t work with them either.
@@alexmeyer8133
If someone tried saying this exact shit back then, they would've been boo'ed offstage. That's not a joke. It's evidence for the lack of brain matter in that guy's and your's head.
Small and not a big deal but FYI Phil “bexar” county in Tx is pronounced “Baher” similar to “Bear” . Either way, thanks for the News 👍
From San Antonio, came to say this. Bear, not Bex-AR.
Common mistake, no biggie, but it definitely sounds awful if you are from there or know the proper pronunciation.
Texas is pronounced tehas but after so many generations of americans botching the pronunciation no one cares, so this argument is kind of moot.
@@regulus8560 except nobody from San Antonio calls it Bex-AR... Like Cairo in IL is called "Kay-row", or Houston st in NYC is "how-ston". Respect the local pronunciation
@@durostp Came here to say this.
Love your videos! You helped a 23 year old learn how to insert and take care of contacts!
Wow. So happy to hear that my information was potentially breached and compromised, from Philip DeFranco and not the actual company that potentially lost my information! Thanks T-Mobile!
