The Houthi are the Proud Boys of Yemen.

After 1/6, instead of arresting the insurrectionists, maybe we should have bought more Proud Boys merchandise? That's your solution to religious extremists attempting to overthrow the government?

    Yemen's chief export is Proud Boys merch?

    Didn't know that.

    Thanks for informing me and not just being a murderous troll.

    If that's the case, just nuke Yemen. Explosives are the only real fix for social issues.

    I was comparing religious extremists in the US who attempted to overthrow the US government with the Houthi who are doing the same in Yemen. The Houthi aren't the official Yemen government. They are a religious faction who are attempting to overthrow the Yemeni government.

    Then why did you take my point, employ and empower legitimate Yemen businesses and buy their chief export, flip it around, and say that I was suggesting buying Proud Boy's merch?
