Right It's totally the US setting up transgender clinics in foreign countries that's stopping them from declaring war. Nothing to do with Leviathan of a military.
We aren’t and weren’t. Usually reports like these misconstrue what USAID actually did. USAID was the largest contributor of food for the developing world and almost single handedly ended absolute poverty and essentially eliminated famine caused by nonpolitical factors. Unfortunately COVID then the Russian invasion reversed these slightly. It is almost certainly one of the most morally good institutions ever created, behind only perhaps the US nation itself (although that last part you will probably just call me biased if you ain’t American).
USAID was the largest contributor of food for the developing world
Which prevents these countries from learning how to effectively farm and making them foreign aid dependant. Same concept as why we ban feeding wild animals in many places, it makes it so they don't become self sufficient
almost single handedly ended absolute poverty
Did it? I've been seeing the ads for donations to adopt an African kid for all my life. It also makes people less likely to protest dictators who abuse their governments funds for personal profit.
t is almost certainly one of the most morally good institutions ever created,
I don't see how making other countries foreign aid dependant and funding international leftism is morally good. In fact I think it's a propaganda tool meant to advance the agenda of American coastal elites across the world
Guess what's more expensive than providing food to populations that have shitty governments? Intervening in war that spills over and actually harms US interests.
Anyone who says USAID is a waste of money had no idea how much these programs actually cost. USAID costs about 40 billion per year, out of maybe 80 billion in total foreign aid per year. Compare that with the war in Iraq - 2 trillion dollars. That is 25 years worth of foreign aid that was spent in Iraq, and we HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT WHATSOEVER. The war in Afghanistan cost about the same, and we also have NOTHING to show for it.
USAID is good for the world and good for the USA, and it's idiotic to stop it. Now, china and Russia can step in and build soft power around the world while the US withdraws and ceases to become a factor in geopolitics. Thinking these cuts are good is idiotic.
Intervening in war that spills over and actually harms US interests.
The United States doesn't have to intervene in every conflict around the world , I don't want to be the world police. Also spreading this NWO leftist propaganda probably sparks much of the backlash against the United States. If your some wahabi Muslim terrorist, when you see a country fund atheist resources and transgender clinics, it probably makes you a target.
Compare that with the war in Iraq - 2 trillion dollars. That is 25 years worth of foreign aid that was spent in Iraq,
The United States did not need to spend 25 years in Iraq, they could have left after Saddam and Osama were killed
Hmmm ok then. I guess we should've just let the Arab spring alone. Oh wait - we did. Then ISIS happened.
The world's policeman - good one. Let's withdraw all the American bases from Japan, Korea, and the Phillipines and see what happens. Let's take our nukes out of Turkey, remove our bases from Germany and see what happens.
You are a child with a child's understanding of geopolitics.
Hmmm ok then. I guess we should've just let the Arab spring happen alone
We were the ones who kick started the Arab spring, if it wasn't for programs like those funded by USAID and the CIA, there would have been no Arab spring
Let's withdraw all the American bases from Japan, Korea, and the Phillipines
At least those countries want us there, and it's different than the kind of "aid" USAID is doing. We made a commitment to Japan and Korea, especially Japan as we forced them to disarm after WWII
I never said that they got that guy to self immolate, but they were heavily involved in the uprisings. Just because someone lights themselves on fire doesn't mean an uprising is bound to happen, people do this occasionally in the United States and there is no revolution. Here is another article
"A number of the groups and individuals directly involved in the revolts and reforms sweeping the region, including the April 6 Youth Movement in Egypt, the Bahrain Center for Human Rights and grass-roots activists like Entsar Qadhi, a youth leader in Yemen, received training and financing from groups like the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute and Freedom House, a nonprofit human rights organization based in Washington, according to interviews in recent weeks and American diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks."
These types of Americans don't realize how the US's ability to project power around the world has benefited them. A lot of Americans have had it too good for so long they don't even recognize what they have. I wish these types would move to Russia to see the logical conclusion of their views in action.
Ha. Ha. Ha. Read literally anything about the aftermath of WWI and tell me you want the world order torn down. Read about the fall of the USSR and tell me you want the world order torn down. You have no idea just how valuable your current lifestyle is until you lose it.
John Wayne was a fucking asshole who never served in any war, despite being of age and able-bodied. Instead, the 34-year old stayed home and portrayed soldiers in movies. Pathetic. Even fuckin Elvis went to Korea.
Do you mean John Kerry? Idk man, maybe you're already a couple drinks in. Save your stale takes for your podcast.
Ha. Ha. Ha. Read literally anything about the aftermath of WWI and tell me you want the world order torn down.
The world order now is worse than pre WWI and post WWI/pre WWII. You don't need a major world war to reform the current world order, look at the fall of the USSR as you mentioned
John Wayne was a fucking asshole who never served in any war, despite being of age and able-bodied.
That was just an example, the United States essentially has 2 cultures; rough manly conservative gun toting cowboy etc on one end and gay cosmopolitan progressive on the other. If we are going to be funding things in other countries it shouldn't just be the leftist side that gets pushed, either no partisanship or include both. I don't want my taxpayer money to be funding international leftism
Sorry little buddy but leftism has basically given everything you have around you including the bed, phone, better or worse the diabetes your fat ass has, the app and sub your unbelievably spoiled self is using to type something brain dead like “world order is worse now than pre WW1 and postww1/pre ww2” lol only will Americans both left and right say such privileged and sheltered shit, least the left/right are unified on that
There is difference between soft power that tries to share country's culture and ideals and soft power that is starting to spread a certain group's agenda.
Do you really believe that's happening? You know what I find more believable? That conservative fuckheads mislabel clinics to serve their own agenda. You have been swindled, friend.
No way I’d rather get angry about my tax dollars going to give people in Africa condoms. Any context about how it’s used to build partnerships and help eradicate the spread of disease (as well as use for research on stds in our own country) is irrelevant, because that would prevent the country from learning how to handle the disease on their own, just like how exporting cars to other countries in the 1950s mean no other countries in the world build cars.
It has been working the amount of people in poverty since 1990 has been cut in half. It's not a perfect system and problems in various countries can make things difficult but it is a good program. Things like take a lot of time beyond our lifetimes either but it's how we build a better world.
Really doesn't seem like it's doing much since Africa is still full of famine and war, not to mention that these programs also funded things like abortion and condoms which goes against a large amount of Americans religious beliefs. If we want to give foreign aid, have Congress vote on it each time so someone can be held accountable
Not only just providing condoms for recreational sex, a lot of impoverished communities basically treat women like cattle. They are denied any form of contraceptive and have little autonomy and spend their lives pregnant as often as possible in a terrible cycle.
Talk to anyone who has worked or volunteered in these countries and they will tell you that your understanding of the needs and processes to fix these countries are very far from accurate.
The internet lets information be shared like never before, but it also lets people with agendas skew that information for their own benefit.
If you think that anyone anywhere in the world doesn’t deserve the level of comfort you have then you don’t deserve it yourself. In a world where like 300 people have more money than dozens of nations around the world combined, the idea of spending a small portion of our budget on aid to foreign lands should not be repugnant. Scarcity and poverty are manufactured in the current world.
In the same breath, you’ll hear the same people admit that the Middle East hates the west because we’ve been manipulating them and causing wars in their countries for our benefits and have been since before world war 1.
Those ads for donations are not meant to go to kids lol. Those are tax breaks my friend. As for the rest, it was set up by JFK, the same guy who asked not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. USAID worked with farmers to spread better agricultural methods AND directly helped farmers in the US by buying excess food. It immediately helped places with food insecurity and spread the Green Revolution throughout Sub-Saharan African farms.
We could use that food in place of food stamps, and send it through USPS or though food depots like that guy in NYC wants to do. Why arent we feeding people at home first and then sending the excess out instead of giving them stamps they exchange at bodegas for half back in cash and sending everything healthy out of the country?
We already have food sent to soup kitchens etc and with the Trump admin making it illegal to use food stamps for anything besides nonperishable foods, food stamps also will now directly hold the purpose of distributing food from farmers to those with food insecurity in the US. The majority of the problem with food insecurity in the US is not the lack of food or cost, it is there are grocery deserts where Americans live in an area lacking in places to get groceries, either in poorer urban areas or isolated rural regions. The solutions to these issues are known, but lack political willpower as the majority of these areas are politically unimportant and are not seen as worth implementing. I see an argument against foreign aid in this way to be counterproductive, as we can do both at the same time.
Because arguments to cut anyones aid are used domestically as well. Someone above said this makes them dependent and unable to learn how to farm. It the same as saying their entitled and lazy, when will you realize that they use the same words and justifications?
it was set up by JFK, the same guy who asked not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country
Sure during the cold war I could see a point to this, but post cold war there really isn't a need for this. Also I don't think usaid was sponsoring lgbtq resources in Cambodia during the cold war.
USAID worked with farmers to spread better agricultural methods
Sure, this would have already happened during the green revolution back in the 70s. USAID has been around for a while as you mentioned. Other countries problems don't need to be solved with my taxpayer dollars.
The information is there for free on the Internet, people just need to use it which they won't if they are given things for free. It's a whole third world mindset, watch the documentary empire of dust, it changed my mindset on the third world and foreign aid completely
Empire of dust is a good movie and definitely shows the problem of assuming private companies will just move to Africa to cost cut and deep systemic problems with working in the third world. However the case still stands as it being much more effective of being uplifting to the third world, even if it’s not going to be efficient. By promoting education, it could have reduced the freeloading aspects but in no way get rid of them by promoting entrepreneurship as some programs wanted to. As well as promoting LGBTQ in SE Asia mentioned by anon, that’s just a straight up lie to promote division and mistrust. It was HIV/AIDS treatment of victims in SE Asia and Subsaharan Africa that was twisted for political purposes. There are other valid tales of misuse in USAID, but why do you think he mentioned said lies instead? Why do you think the Trump admin pushed those lies instead? And folding the mission purpose into the State Department only makes such missions and waste more likely, not less. What happens if someone like AOC gets office? Someone who wants to push such policies has suddenly become infinitely easier with such missions being part of a governmental organization directly operating under the president.
Maybe before sperging out, you could spend six minutes reading the Wikipedia page for the thing you want abolished.
Or you can just keep running your mouth like your average short term thinking retard. You’re probably the type too lazy to vote anyway so not like your any danger to anyone.
Maybe before sperging out, you could spend six minutes reading the Wikipedia page for the thing you want abolished.
I've looked into this topic previously. I'm not a politician or economist, but it's easy to see that a government program funding international leftist causes like abortion clinics in Africa or just giving food supplies which hurts local farmers is a shit idea and not what I want to spend money on
USAID was the largest contributor of food for the developing world
Which prevents these countries from learning how to effectively farm and making them foreign aid dependant. Same concept as why we ban feeding wild animals in many places, it makes it so they don't become self sufficient
He's got a point. Blue states carry the US tax burden for red states and so red states have never had to learn how to balance a budget or run an economy.
He's got a point. Blue states carry the US tax burden for red states and so red states have never had to learn how to balance a budget or run an economy.
At least that's part of America and not a foreign nation. I would also argue that a lot of that welfare programs do more harm then good as there is a cliff where it makes more sense not to work unless you make over a certain amount of money.
Just sit at home praying for some god to cure their cancer and smite their enemies until they start worshipping some snake oil conman who promises to make their lives better while stealing all their money.
Nice straw man bro, foreign aid dependency is a well known problem known to anyone who does even a modicum of research into the subject
We aren't "letting", we were never required to do so, we have no obligation to fund all these programs. This is especially true when we have homeless Americans, I rather not spend a cent in African aid when we have so many starving and homeless here.
I also don't see this as sustainable as when you feed the starving people in these countries you make it so they don't invest in their own agriculture, and they keep having more children which exacerbates the problem. If the population in these countries stayed the same as when aid to them first started it would have already been fixed. Instead people keep having more kids that they can afford to feed because we are sending them food and money. It's the same logic many African countries use when they ban clothes donations from the West, local industry can't compete with free
i don't see how making other countries foreign aid dependant and funding international leftism is morally good. In fact I think it's a propaganda tool meant to advance the agenda of American coastal elites across the world
Yes, that's true, but have you considered that the deleterious effects notwithstanding, giving away money makes idiots feel good?
heavily misses the point of what the USAID is and think that it's basically the equivalent of keeping poorfag countries on the welfare by fully paying for all their retarded bullshit.
Verily. Never underestimate the capability of a 4chan poster to be this retarded despite having the internet in the palm of his hands.
The country that keeps bombing third world shit holes to absolute shreds and toppling governments left and right is supposed to be the most morally good institution ever created?
It's funny how that last sentence just completely disqualifies your entire comment from having any sense whatsoever.
We also gave those countries freedom from colonialists in France and the UK and allowed for USAID to exist through funding and countries like Iraq were actively committing genocide and Afghanistan was in a civil war regardless, but if you seriously think that, then your worldview and my worldview are opposite and that’s fine with me.
We also gave those countries freedom from colonialists in France and the UK
Only for them to indebt themselves to the highest bidder (China and a smaller extent Russia) as soon as they left. Compared to China, in many cases the French and British treated the natives better. When left to their own devices though they largely cause their countries to collapse until they find someone else to colonize them.
Yeah not arguing with that point. It’s true, but I used it as an argument that American foreign policy is inherently anti-colonialist and the majority (but definitely not all) of American police actions had a moral reason to occur and the very successful ones, the most recent large and universal success one being against Venezuela over the Essequibo, are hardly reported on, with more controversial ones, with our intervention against Houthis attacking international shipping, being more reported on even if justifiable. Not saying we always get it right, but American foreign policy is far from being evil, and is historically one of the most moral and I’d argue the most moral of any great power in human history,
Im sure there are stats that suggest that but I'm not sure why anyone would believe them. If it's similar to any other aspect of government or even just similar in function NGOs then it's horribly inefficient at best and incredibly corrupt at worst.
Then why would you believe some random Anon’s and whatever right wing nutcase who tricked you into thinking that our HIV/AIDS outreach program was going to fund transgenderism in Subsaharan Africa or SE Asia. Seriously, if you don’t believe reports from the government, why the hell do you believe these fools that lied straight to your face?
Yeah it’s not a perfect institution, but neither is any institution. The problem with aid to developing nations is those nations are corrupt, and a NGO with heavy ties to the US govt will have corruption when dealing with these countries. However, private charities not linked to religious organizations are much much worse. The more outrageous claims made in this post itself are just blatantly false and is just culture war nonsense meant to be partisan and promotes divisionism amongst Americans and deepens mistrust with American institutions.
This thread isn't about the DOD. There are tons of legitimate criticisms for that department, but just because one government org sucks doesn't mean that we should accept sending billions of dollars to other countries where a large portion of it is lost to corruption
Sorry buddy, some of us get out and about. Btw the OIG that you linked reported that the illegal dismantling made any theft of aid much more likely, rather than less.
Ultimately, if you want to go to down on boot leather and slopaganda, that’s your right. It’s a free country for now.
If DOGE found corruption they would have published the corruption instead of publishing their AI hallucinations. You can tell they’re lying about corruption because the forst thing they deleted was the development experience clearinghouse. They stole that data from the american people.
USAID was never perfect, but it was about as uncorrupt as government gets, largely because foreign aid has always had to justify every dollar. but it was the best of America, and every single thing Musk, DOGE, and bootlickers like you said about it was a lie. Destroying it was a gift to autocrats the world over.
Now you’re gonna repeat some AI slop about USAID promoting the gays because you can’t be bothered to think for yourself.
Jfc some people have no idea what soft power is. Most of those people will say China is slowly buying up the world but can't connect the dots. Either the US or China will finance other counties as the primary mover in the global economy. We will become isolationist at our own peril.
also, it makes our money more valuable if everyone in the world is using it
So you think that when they give money to an initiative in Peru, they're just handing over greenbacks that are then circulated in Peru instead of Peruvian sols?
I mean, it's pretty much never just handing over coins anyway.
Pretty much all foreign aid is stuff spent at home, that then gets shipped over, creating local jobs etc.
From what I rememeber USAID only started when the cold war was really kicking off. It was very close to literally being a bribe in order to stop countries flipping communist.
They are telling us our Social Security won't be there for us,.as that ponzi scheme runs out. You can rest easy in your retirement cardboard box knowing that there are worldwide atheism and transgender clinics exist worldwide on our tax dollars.
Also, why does atheism need a commercial? I do nothing without promoting.
In 10 years time when you're scratching your head wondering why China has so much more influence and trade power around the world, think back to this comment.
It’s to generate good and keep our economy from collapsing because we have a FIAT currency whose value will plummet if the rest of the world stops using it.
Us peasants are fighting over scraps even though mathematically we already have the resources right now to feed, clothe, house, educate and provide healthcare to every man woman and child in America (including illegal immigrants) with enough to spare to fund USAID and still maintain the world’s largest military but we have had such a gross misallocation of resources and growing enshittification of every aspect of life since our first celebrity president that the parasites in charge have managed to convince half the population that we “don’t have money” for this or that.
But everything the government does could be described as charity depending on your perspective. I can't afford a fighter jet, what's the military doing spending tax money protecting my broke ass? Charity I guess
340 million people contributed enough to cover a fighter jet, that's why 340 million people enjoy the benefit of their protection. What is difficult to understand about that exactly?
Even if we do assume welfare is charity, it's charity for our own citizens, which is far more acceptable than charity for other countries.
The government provides both of these services to some people who pay way less in taxes than the cost. If government doing charity is bad, then everything the government does is bad. The police are a charity for people who can't afford private security. Roads are a charity for people who can't afford helicopters.
The reason the government doing charity is bad is because they are sending billions of dollars of taxpayer money to other countries, not because they helped anyone anywhere ever. Using taxpayer money to improve the life of the taxpayer isn't charity, it's a service. If you give me $10 and I go buy you some beer with that $10, that isn't charity, you gave me the $10 in the first place, it was your money.
I mean yeah government could be described as a suite of services that are free to everyone including the poor, and mostly sustained by the contributions of middle class and wealthy folks. Which is also an acute description of a charity
yeah very difficult to comprehend why the United States benefits from bolstering its otherwise dogshit reputation abroad. all non-military foreign policy is a made up waste of time 💪💪💪 truly galaxy brain stuff
The Late Show was never going to make enough to actually cover its own costs. Stephen Colbert wasn't punished for being the voice of team blue-no-matter-who. He was taken down to size when the influence operation payments stopped coming in.
So those improvements. Let’s say we get universal healthcare and that’s our tax dollars being used. Is that not something the commenter is talking about lol
If the citizens' tax dollars are used to institute healthcare, that isn't charity, the citizens are literally paying for it, they aren't getting it for free.
On the other hand, if those same tax dollars are used to fund a different country's healthcare, that is charity, they are getting it for free.
I’m not saying they’re right for using it on other countries lol I’m saying using it on improving our infrastructure is something the OP would call charity too
As it turns out, most of the time the money doesn't go anywhere people claim it does. The money that was line item allotted to help trans Pakistanis was actually used to try and overthrow the Cuban government. That "LGBT Irish play" was actually paying people to assassinate labor organizers in Africa.
There's quite a next return on prestige and influence abroad when pennies of your dollars are ensuring that people elsewhere don't starve or die of curable disease. Let alone that preventing things like disruptive migration, or political instability. There's also that it's just saving human beings is a decent fucking thing to do.
Is there a return? Do we expect Bumfuckistan to return the favor? In EU we sent aid hoping it would stop migrations but it only made their government fatter, and now they just ask for money and threaten to send more migrants if we don't. I couldn't care less about saving them, in fact the problem might sort itself out if we don't
>people elsewhere don't starve or die of curable disease
Don't care.
> disruptive migration
Don't care. Weapons free.
> political instability
Don't care.
>saving human beings is a decent fucking thing to do
If you care so much, feel free to donate your endless amounts of money to it.
Stop trying to use the government to strongarm other people into funding your perosnal pet charities and causes.
> influence abroad
I think LGBT programs in Serbia actually make them hate the US more.
It doesn't need to melt them. This is such a moronic talking point. Metal loses strength as it's heated. Jet fuel burns hot enough for steel beams to crumple and bend under pressure.
I thought it wasn't hot enough to straight up MELT through steel beams, but it was hot enough to cause the structural integrity under the building's weight and pressure forces to begin to fail and ultimately collapse. Not an engineer ofc, no clue if that's true.
Yes this is what i'm saying, no need to keep parroting. The point is THAT volume of jet fuel, in THAT volume of building, would have barely raised the steel temeprature some dozens degrees at most.
Not even remotely close to the temperature required to lose structural integrity.
"Has America ever done something more evil than ending USAID"?
He knows we have killed people right? Wars, assassinations, coups d'état. We've done some shit. Every nation has to be fair, but we definetly have done some evil shit.
Which is our obligation to deal with...why? Can't feed em, don't breed em after all. The simplest animal understands that concept, why don't some humans?
So there's this thing that happens with animals sometimes called overpopulation. It happens because animals don't simply understand what you're saying they do.
See the thing is that we're people, and we do understand the problem, so we can prevent it becoming a real gnarly catastrophe like a mass die off or culling. We can introduce competitor species or predators. We can try to get rid of breeding/spawning places and spray chemicals, there's a million ways we have of controlling population of non-human species.
With people we have birth control and a society that lets women live independently and not have kids if they don't want to, but that's a bunch of liberal bullshit apparently. We also have relatively cheap and abundant food, vaccines etc. required to support a bigger population of people. But there will always be people like you who will use a bogus metaphor about nature as an excuse to do nothing.
Expecting a billion peasants to practice family planning in unison is brilliant. Why didn't the billion peasants think of that. I see you thought it through.
Just ending USAID without letting others slowly take its place first will kill millions.
I read about the situation in Liberia, where HIV is spreading like wildfire now, when they lost funding for most preventive measurements overnight.
In June, Uganda had HIV drugs to cover the summer, now I don't know. If you take the drugs and then stop, it will result in death since the body then gets resistant to the drugs.
Not even the richest countries of Africa can pay for HIV on its own, so someone has to help.
And this is only about HIV. Malnutrition is what is killing kids and it's estimated to already be 100 000s of child deaths.
And this all was done without asking Congress first.
Who fucking cares, without aid they wouldn’t be this over populated in the first place. Nature will take care of things until it reaches a sustainable carrying capacity in each country.
Pretty based, however you need to realize the cons, which is that aids spreads and undoubtedly will reach civilized countries, and also, by supplying aid, the soft power you get can be phenomenal.
IMO cutting USAID is bad, but when democrats reinstate it, it might make the countries appreciate the US more.
If you click on the link there's several pages about the methodology for tracking deaths from the various programs that were cut or distributed, each program has its own fairly detailed analysis summary.
Trump shut down USAID, not infighting libs. It doesn't make sense to destroy something and say "look it's imploding, this proves that it was doomed to fail"
Catholicism eliminates itself, try going anywhere south of the USA and you’ll see gen z couldn’t care less about religion, and millennials are just cultural Catholics. Think of secular Jews
Most of Latin America is already sitting near or below the replacement birth rate. Only places still growing out of control right now are Africa and the Middle East.
Kinda funny because these same people would probably say they're against colonialism , or what have you. But all I said does is try and spread western acceptance and ideals so it's kinda like lol
That's actually a really good point. Reminds me of the latinx thing which is an anglocentric concept since it's trying to neuter a gendered language to fit English speaking sensibilities. When you think about it, that is colonialism in a way
All the astroturfed nonsense about American "soft power" thru usaid would routinely be denounced as economic colonialism or imperialism in typical left wing circles
These are 100% black budgets, because the spooks can’t actually be a part of any real charity organization so USAID is basically the CIA bullshit machine. But now a days you can slap 10 billion on the debt and if the orange man likes you he won’t care and any inquires are dodged
Sure blame stopping trans people get help if it makes seeing 300k+ have died from usaid withdrawal feel better. atleast the government isn’t handing out money

"""estimates"""" why is it our responsibility to feed ubembwe's sixteen kids when half the people i knew in high school were on school lunch plans and got sent home with bags of canned corn every week
It's worse than that. Most of these are lies. And even the ones that are real were found by internal auditors long before musk even walked through the door.
I was always under the impression that if you give to charity, like donating clothes, then all that you're doing is undercut the market in the places the clothes get donated towards, so in essence helping people not to evolve their own craft and becoming dependent on the goodwill of others.
I think that impression turned out to be more true than I could have ever realized when I consider the world in its current state.
It goes to show that when there's (easy) money to be made, then it brings out the worst in people and also attracts the worst of people.
I don't mind showing a little bit of generosity at times, but thoughtlessly throwing money away is a little bit more than that. There's no point in being generous when you can't expect that it's actually used for anything good.
Honestly I find it disgusting in a sense. How you are not allowing people to form their own identity. If they don't want to then that's their perogative but actually creating such a system is evil incarnate.
I see it everywhere I go now. I had such massive blindfolds on for so long because I always thought people would approach it with enough common sense to not make it a problem and there would be no way in hell that everyone around me is in favor of it. Not this many people, not 70+ million. But I should have seen it coming miles away.
I have been reflecting on my life experiences and there have ALWAYS been little cues and clues that I just never could put together into a larger picture. From the school all the way to today, 20+ years in the making. Crazy how life works sometimes.
Literally just not true it was 500k given to humanist international to expand religious freedom INCLUDING atheism idk if yall know this but third world countries tend to have a religious freedom problem
Ah yes, let’s just ignore the hundreds of other life saving initiatives for cheap political points.
I would have no issue with these programs being cancelled, but to gut the entire agency is unironically retarded and will come back to bite us one way or another

Anyone who says USAID is a waste of money had no idea how much these programs actually cost. USAID costs about 40 billion per year, out of maybe 80 billion in total foreign aid per year. Compare that with the war in Iraq - 2 trillion dollars. That is 25 years worth of foreign aid that was spent in Iraq, and we HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT WHATSOEVER. The war in Afghanistan cost about the same, and we also have NOTHING to show for it.
USAID is good for the world and good for the USA, and it's idiotic to stop it. Now, china and Russia can step in and build soft power around the world while the US withdraws and ceases to become a factor in geopolitics. Thinking these cuts are good is idiotic.
Th_brgs@reddit
How many years of USAID was Trump's "big beautiful bill" worth? It's added quite a few trillions to the us debt, right?
kiakosan@reddit
The United States doesn't have to intervene in every conflict around the world , I don't want to be the world police. Also spreading this NWO leftist propaganda probably sparks much of the backlash against the United States. If your some wahabi Muslim terrorist, when you see a country fund atheist resources and transgender clinics, it probably makes you a target.
The United States did not need to spend 25 years in Iraq, they could have left after Saddam and Osama were killed
Paintmebitch@reddit
Hmmm ok then. I guess we should've just let the Arab spring alone. Oh wait - we did. Then ISIS happened.
The world's policeman - good one. Let's withdraw all the American bases from Japan, Korea, and the Phillipines and see what happens. Let's take our nukes out of Turkey, remove our bases from Germany and see what happens.
You are a child with a child's understanding of geopolitics.
kiakosan@reddit
We were the ones who kick started the Arab spring, if it wasn't for programs like those funded by USAID and the CIA, there would have been no Arab spring
https://www.newarab.com/news/julian-assange-leaks-shook-middle-east
At least those countries want us there, and it's different than the kind of "aid" USAID is doing. We made a commitment to Japan and Korea, especially Japan as we forced them to disarm after WWII
Paintmebitch@reddit
USAID made Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire?
kiakosan@reddit
I never said that they got that guy to self immolate, but they were heavily involved in the uprisings. Just because someone lights themselves on fire doesn't mean an uprising is bound to happen, people do this occasionally in the United States and there is no revolution. Here is another article
https://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/15/world/15aid.html
"A number of the groups and individuals directly involved in the revolts and reforms sweeping the region, including the April 6 Youth Movement in Egypt, the Bahrain Center for Human Rights and grass-roots activists like Entsar Qadhi, a youth leader in Yemen, received training and financing from groups like the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute and Freedom House, a nonprofit human rights organization based in Washington, according to interviews in recent weeks and American diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks."
I know these groups were funded by USAID

John Wayne was a fucking asshole who never served in any war, despite being of age and able-bodied. Instead, the 34-year old stayed home and portrayed soldiers in movies. Pathetic. Even fuckin Elvis went to Korea.

The world order now is worse than pre WWI and post WWI/pre WWII. You don't need a major world war to reform the current world order, look at the fall of the USSR as you mentioned

No way I’d rather get angry about my tax dollars going to give people in Africa condoms. Any context about how it’s used to build partnerships and help eradicate the spread of disease (as well as use for research on stds in our own country) is irrelevant, because that would prevent the country from learning how to handle the disease on their own, just like how exporting cars to other countries in the 1950s mean no other countries in the world build cars.
Paintmebitch@reddit
Exactly
FoxCQC@reddit
USAID supported agriculture education and supplies. You can't farm without the knowledge and supplies.
kiakosan@reddit
We have been sending these supplies and education for decades yet these countries still are not self sufficient. It wasn't changing anything
FoxCQC@reddit
It has been working the amount of people in poverty since 1990 has been cut in half. It's not a perfect system and problems in various countries can make things difficult but it is a good program. Things like take a lot of time beyond our lifetimes either but it's how we build a better world.
kiakosan@reddit
Really doesn't seem like it's doing much since Africa is still full of famine and war, not to mention that these programs also funded things like abortion and condoms which goes against a large amount of Americans religious beliefs. If we want to give foreign aid, have Congress vote on it each time so someone can be held accountable
Grantedx@reddit
Ain't no way you're out here arguing against condoms.
billytheskidd@reddit
Not only just providing condoms for recreational sex, a lot of impoverished communities basically treat women like cattle. They are denied any form of contraceptive and have little autonomy and spend their lives pregnant as often as possible in a terrible cycle.
Talk to anyone who has worked or volunteered in these countries and they will tell you that your understanding of the needs and processes to fix these countries are very far from accurate.
The internet lets information be shared like never before, but it also lets people with agendas skew that information for their own benefit.
If you think that anyone anywhere in the world doesn’t deserve the level of comfort you have then you don’t deserve it yourself. In a world where like 300 people have more money than dozens of nations around the world combined, the idea of spending a small portion of our budget on aid to foreign lands should not be repugnant. Scarcity and poverty are manufactured in the current world.
In the same breath, you’ll hear the same people admit that the Middle East hates the west because we’ve been manipulating them and causing wars in their countries for our benefits and have been since before world war 1.
ComradeMao2@reddit
Those ads for donations are not meant to go to kids lol. Those are tax breaks my friend. As for the rest, it was set up by JFK, the same guy who asked not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. USAID worked with farmers to spread better agricultural methods AND directly helped farmers in the US by buying excess food. It immediately helped places with food insecurity and spread the Green Revolution throughout Sub-Saharan African farms.
BanzaiKen@reddit
We could use that food in place of food stamps, and send it through USPS or though food depots like that guy in NYC wants to do. Why arent we feeding people at home first and then sending the excess out instead of giving them stamps they exchange at bodegas for half back in cash and sending everything healthy out of the country?
ComradeMao2@reddit
We already have food sent to soup kitchens etc and with the Trump admin making it illegal to use food stamps for anything besides nonperishable foods, food stamps also will now directly hold the purpose of distributing food from farmers to those with food insecurity in the US. The majority of the problem with food insecurity in the US is not the lack of food or cost, it is there are grocery deserts where Americans live in an area lacking in places to get groceries, either in poorer urban areas or isolated rural regions. The solutions to these issues are known, but lack political willpower as the majority of these areas are politically unimportant and are not seen as worth implementing. I see an argument against foreign aid in this way to be counterproductive, as we can do both at the same time.
arturitoburrito@reddit
Because arguments to cut anyones aid are used domestically as well. Someone above said this makes them dependent and unable to learn how to farm. It the same as saying their entitled and lazy, when will you realize that they use the same words and justifications?
kiakosan@reddit
Sure during the cold war I could see a point to this, but post cold war there really isn't a need for this. Also I don't think usaid was sponsoring lgbtq resources in Cambodia during the cold war.
Sure, this would have already happened during the green revolution back in the 70s. USAID has been around for a while as you mentioned. Other countries problems don't need to be solved with my taxpayer dollars.
The information is there for free on the Internet, people just need to use it which they won't if they are given things for free. It's a whole third world mindset, watch the documentary empire of dust, it changed my mindset on the third world and foreign aid completely
ComradeMao2@reddit
Empire of dust is a good movie and definitely shows the problem of assuming private companies will just move to Africa to cost cut and deep systemic problems with working in the third world. However the case still stands as it being much more effective of being uplifting to the third world, even if it’s not going to be efficient. By promoting education, it could have reduced the freeloading aspects but in no way get rid of them by promoting entrepreneurship as some programs wanted to. As well as promoting LGBTQ in SE Asia mentioned by anon, that’s just a straight up lie to promote division and mistrust. It was HIV/AIDS treatment of victims in SE Asia and Subsaharan Africa that was twisted for political purposes. There are other valid tales of misuse in USAID, but why do you think he mentioned said lies instead? Why do you think the Trump admin pushed those lies instead? And folding the mission purpose into the State Department only makes such missions and waste more likely, not less. What happens if someone like AOC gets office? Someone who wants to push such policies has suddenly become infinitely easier with such missions being part of a governmental organization directly operating under the president.

Local businesses can't compete with free. If you get all your food and clothes for free, you will never develop those sectors internally
MainCharacter007@reddit
So you are saying we should let millions of people starve to death because their government is incompetent?
kiakosan@reddit
We aren't "letting", we were never required to do so, we have no obligation to fund all these programs. This is especially true when we have homeless Americans, I rather not spend a cent in African aid when we have so many starving and homeless here.
I also don't see this as sustainable as when you feed the starving people in these countries you make it so they don't invest in their own agriculture, and they keep having more children which exacerbates the problem. If the population in these countries stayed the same as when aid to them first started it would have already been fixed. Instead people keep having more kids that they can afford to feed because we are sending them food and money. It's the same logic many African countries use when they ban clothes donations from the West, local industry can't compete with free

We also gave those countries freedom from colonialists in France and the UK and allowed for USAID to exist through funding and countries like Iraq were actively committing genocide and Afghanistan was in a civil war regardless, but if you seriously think that, then your worldview and my worldview are opposite and that’s fine with me.
kiakosan@reddit
Only for them to indebt themselves to the highest bidder (China and a smaller extent Russia) as soon as they left. Compared to China, in many cases the French and British treated the natives better. When left to their own devices though they largely cause their countries to collapse until they find someone else to colonize them.
ComradeMao2@reddit
Yeah not arguing with that point. It’s true, but I used it as an argument that American foreign policy is inherently anti-colonialist and the majority (but definitely not all) of American police actions had a moral reason to occur and the very successful ones, the most recent large and universal success one being against Venezuela over the Essequibo, are hardly reported on, with more controversial ones, with our intervention against Houthis attacking international shipping, being more reported on even if justifiable. Not saying we always get it right, but American foreign policy is far from being evil, and is historically one of the most moral and I’d argue the most moral of any great power in human history,

USAID was never perfect, but it was about as uncorrupt as government gets, largely because foreign aid has always had to justify every dollar. but it was the best of America, and every single thing Musk, DOGE, and bootlickers like you said about it was a lie.

He's saying he wishes his government would stop doing charity, yes, because the government's money comes from its citizens.
jjjosiah@reddit
But everything the government does could be described as charity depending on your perspective. I can't afford a fighter jet, what's the military doing spending tax money protecting my broke ass? Charity I guess
LordSturm777@reddit
You're paying them to do that. I don't think you understand how charity works. Do you know what taxes are?
jjjosiah@reddit
Yeah but I definitely haven't contributed enough to cover a fighter jet, and yet I enjoy the benefit of their protection.
And on the flip side of that, people on welfare still pay taxes, does that mean it's not charity?
LordSturm777@reddit
340 million people contributed enough to cover a fighter jet, that's why 340 million people enjoy the benefit of their protection. What is difficult to understand about that exactly?
Even if we do assume welfare is charity, it's charity for our own citizens, which is far more acceptable than charity for other countries.
jjjosiah@reddit
The government provides both of these services to some people who pay way less in taxes than the cost. If government doing charity is bad, then everything the government does is bad. The police are a charity for people who can't afford private security. Roads are a charity for people who can't afford helicopters.
LordSturm777@reddit
The reason the government doing charity is bad is because they are sending billions of dollars of taxpayer money to other countries, not because they helped anyone anywhere ever. Using taxpayer money to improve the life of the taxpayer isn't charity, it's a service. If you give me $10 and I go buy you some beer with that $10, that isn't charity, you gave me the $10 in the first place, it was your money.
jjjosiah@reddit
I mean yeah government could be described as a suite of services that are free to everyone including the poor, and mostly sustained by the contributions of middle class and wealthy folks. Which is also an acute description of a charity

If the citizens' tax dollars are used to institute healthcare, that isn't charity, the citizens are literally paying for it, they aren't getting it for free.

Keep it IN the country to benefit the citizens actually PAYING the taxes?
How hard is this to understand
This is MY money. This is YOUR money.
You just don’t think of it as such because it’s taken out of your paycheck before it’s given to you
Imagine you get paid in cash in full every month
Someone comes along and takes $100 “this is for hospital bills for illegal immigrants”
Someone comes and takes $75 “this is for housing illegal immigrants
Someone comes and takes $50 “this is for farm equipment in Lesotho”
Someone comes and takes $35 “this is for LGBTQ children’s books in Darfur”
….
I don’t think you’d appreciate that

As it turns out, most of the time the money doesn't go anywhere people claim it does. The money that was line item allotted to help trans Pakistanis was actually used to try and overthrow the Cuban government. That "LGBT Irish play" was actually paying people to assassinate labor organizers in Africa.

There's quite a next return on prestige and influence abroad when pennies of your dollars are ensuring that people elsewhere don't starve or die of curable disease. Let alone that preventing things like disruptive migration, or political instability. There's also that it's just saving human beings is a decent fucking thing to do.
DefinitelyNotPine@reddit
Is there a return? Do we expect Bumfuckistan to return the favor? In EU we sent aid hoping it would stop migrations but it only made their government fatter, and now they just ask for money and threaten to send more migrants if we don't. I couldn't care less about saving them, in fact the problem might sort itself out if we don't

If you care so much, feel free to donate your endless amounts of money to it.
Stop trying to use the government to strongarm other people into funding your perosnal pet charities and causes.

For the same reason jet fuel doesnt melt steel beams
nmotsch789@reddit
It doesn't need to melt them. This is such a moronic talking point. Metal loses strength as it's heated. Jet fuel burns hot enough for steel beams to crumple and bend under pressure.
Aguacatedeaire__@reddit
But it doesn't tho. That's the whole point
djaqk@reddit
I thought it wasn't hot enough to straight up MELT through steel beams, but it was hot enough to cause the structural integrity under the building's weight and pressure forces to begin to fail and ultimately collapse. Not an engineer ofc, no clue if that's true.
Aguacatedeaire__@reddit
Yes this is what i'm saying, no need to keep parroting. The point is THAT volume of jet fuel, in THAT volume of building, would have barely raised the steel temeprature some dozens degrees at most.
Not even remotely close to the temperature required to lose structural integrity.
Now ask it again.
nmotsch789@reddit
That's exactly what it is. It doesn't need to melt anything to be able to weaken beams enough for them to collapse.
nmotsch789@reddit
So you're denying that metal can be bent easily when it gets hot enough to start glowing white?
justaddbooze@reddit
He's probably talking about all the liquid molten steel found at Ground Zero.

Ah yes, it certainly couldn't have been any other metal.
Why would they go through the trouble of faking it only to then add extra molten metal in?

AvatarADEL@reddit
Which is our obligation to deal with...why? Can't feed em, don't breed em after all. The simplest animal understands that concept, why don't some humans?
jjjosiah@reddit
So there's this thing that happens with animals sometimes called overpopulation. It happens because animals don't simply understand what you're saying they do.
AvatarADEL@reddit
What is the solution to it? Either nature takes care of it, or we have to cull their numbers. Either way the same result at the end.
jjjosiah@reddit
See the thing is that we're people, and we do understand the problem, so we can prevent it becoming a real gnarly catastrophe like a mass die off or culling. We can introduce competitor species or predators. We can try to get rid of breeding/spawning places and spray chemicals, there's a million ways we have of controlling population of non-human species.
With people we have birth control and a society that lets women live independently and not have kids if they don't want to, but that's a bunch of liberal bullshit apparently. We also have relatively cheap and abundant food, vaccines etc. required to support a bigger population of people. But there will always be people like you who will use a bogus metaphor about nature as an excuse to do nothing.

Just ending USAID without letting others slowly take its place first will kill millions.
I read about the situation in Liberia, where HIV is spreading like wildfire now, when they lost funding for most preventive measurements overnight.
In June, Uganda had HIV drugs to cover the summer, now I don't know. If you take the drugs and then stop, it will result in death since the body then gets resistant to the drugs.
Not even the richest countries of Africa can pay for HIV on its own, so someone has to help.
And this is only about HIV. Malnutrition is what is killing kids and it's estimated to already be 100 000s of child deaths.
And this all was done without asking Congress first.
Biodiversity@reddit
Who fucking cares, without aid they wouldn’t be this over populated in the first place. Nature will take care of things until it reaches a sustainable carrying capacity in each country.
zeldaprime@reddit
Pretty based, however you need to realize the cons, which is that aids spreads and undoubtedly will reach civilized countries, and also, by supplying aid, the soft power you get can be phenomenal.
IMO cutting USAID is bad, but when democrats reinstate it, it might make the countries appreciate the US more.

I was always under the impression that if you give to charity, like donating clothes, then all that you're doing is undercut the market in the places the clothes get donated towards, so in essence helping people not to evolve their own craft and becoming dependent on the goodwill of others.
I think that impression turned out to be more true than I could have ever realized when I consider the world in its current state.
It goes to show that when there's (easy) money to be made, then it brings out the worst in people and also attracts the worst of people.
I don't mind showing a little bit of generosity at times, but thoughtlessly throwing money away is a little bit more than that. There's no point in being generous when you can't expect that it's actually used for anything good.
Honestly I find it disgusting in a sense. How you are not allowing people to form their own identity. If they don't want to then that's their perogative but actually creating such a system is evil incarnate.
I see it everywhere I go now. I had such massive blindfolds on for so long because I always thought people would approach it with enough common sense to not make it a problem and there would be no way in hell that everyone around me is in favor of it. Not this many people, not 70+ million. But I should have seen it coming miles away.
I have been reflecting on my life experiences and there have ALWAYS been little cues and clues that I just never could put together into a larger picture. From the school all the way to today, 20+ years in the making. Crazy how life works sometimes.
