Endemic AIDS spread is a systemic problem for Africa! We were literally helping them solve systemic problems!

Trying to talk about USAID and I've got this person telling me that "charity" is all well and good, but we should really fix the systemic problems in Africa instead.
And I'm like, we can't fix systemic problems for dead people.
Lofty aspirations are good, but they mean nothing to dead people.

Just trust me on this, if I couldn't argue with people on the internet I'd probably be a crack addict by now.
HAVING FUCKING AIDS MAKES IT HARDER TO SOLVE OTHER SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS.
STARVING MAKES IT HARDER TO SOLVE OTHER SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS.
IT'S FUCKING MATH!
Calls for cutting USAID, Irish reunification, and not a word about Russia.
If you don't care about saving lives, why the fuck do you care about imperialism!? You're rearranging the deck chairs my dude!
Letting 20 million die because saving them is "imperialism" is stupid!
That the price of letting people die is a price paid by society?
That suffering begets more suffering?
Yeah, actually, that checks out.
Taking away food and medical aid doesn't solve those problems, it makes those problems worse.
It's like saying "You're overweight, so we need to amputate."
