        What is yours? How would you have supported them without actually helping the Taliban?

          Please explain to me how sending thoughts and prayers is your idea of having empathy or interest in something first.

              And yet you came in defending it for some reason. Now you refuse to actually elaborate on why you decided to speak up at all and want me to make up something new just so you can have something to argue about.

              All I said is that asking what a repressed and destroyed community expects is probably some basic humanity, and not a bunch of internet commenters being condescending assholes. I also said “thoughts and prayers” isn’t empathy or interest, and if I have to explain that, then I may as well be asked to explain to a Republican why “thoughts and prayers” is a shit response to a school shooting.

                  Of course I never had an argument, I just made a simple statement. Not every simple sentence on the internet is an argument.

                  As for who came to argue, it was you responded to me in a way where you took issue with something that wasn’t said and have displayed quite a lot of upset that I refuse to engage in the argument you want to have.

        What do you think it should look like? I’m not pleased with the situation but I don’t know what we could do differently.

          It definitely doesn’t look like thoughts and prayers, a phrase which is often used by people who show the opposite of empathy or interest.
