Comment on Afghan women turn to entrepreneurship under Taliban
voracitude@lemmy.world 2 months agoThat is a pretty fucked sentiment to post here, bud, with the history behind those words. If it’s a joke, I get it, but it’s fucked up and not particularly funny.

I don’t think it’s funny at all. It’s fucked that these people haven’t live in these conditions. They’re essentially living in a fascist ghetto. I’m happy they’re able to find something meaningful. I’m a bit disappointed its commerce. It could be art, music, philosophy, learning, etc. Making money is fine, and artistry and craft are better. But true freedom is so far away it’s sad.

I appreciate you explaining - could have been a poor-taste reference to Jared in Silicon Valley, or worse. I understand why you say you’re disappointed they found meaning in commerce, as well. If it helps to think of it like this, being able to sell the things one makes does impart a sense of purpose and meaning. People thinking your products are worthwhile enough to trade valuable resources for them is very validating.

Your points are valid. And I suppose having more money improves autonomy as well.
