Food Not Bombs is a loose-knit group of independent collectives, sharing free vegan and vegetarian food with others. Food Not Bombs' ideology is that corporate and government priorities are skewed to allow hunger to persist in the midst of abundance. As evidence of this, a large amount of the food served by the group is surplus food from grocery stores, bakeries, and markets that would otherwise go to waste (or, occasionally, has already been thrown away).

On this day in 1988, members of Food Not Bombs (including one of the founders, Keith McHenry, shown), were arrested for the first time in San Francisco, California, for handing out free food and literature in Golden Gate Park. These were the first of many arrests of Food Not Bombs activists for giving away free food.

    God, the ridiculous things libs are saying about Afghanistan are infuriating

    Besides the classic “these people have been fighting for thousands of years” cliche, what gets me most is the victim blaming, for lack of a better word. R*ddit politics nerds see reports of the Taliban strolling into cities unopposed and figure the ungrateful, cowardly, backwards Afghan soldiers threw down their weapons for no good reason at all. They never stop to consider whether these people were being paid or even fed. The fuck do they have to fight for besides a corrupt, dysfunctional government propped up by a foreign invader?

    Another good one was a comment I saw on videos of people falling off American planes as they took off. Those stupid illiterate Afghans (Kabul residents btw) weren’t clinging to the landing gear just because they were desperate - turns out they just don’t know how planes work. Thanks Reddit lib.

    Fuck man I hate this shit. People get pissy at me offline because I’ve run out of patience for the same bullshit takes. I’ve known people who’ve lost siblings in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last 20 fucking years, and who knows the true level of misery we’ve inflicted on the people living there. Fuck right off.

      Americans do not give a flying fuck about the lives of anyone in Afghanistan other than Da Troopz.

        Libs are pathological liars. Appropriating genuine care for oppressed people to make excuses for furthering the goals of imperialism is disgusting

        They don’t even care about the troops, same as reactionaries. If they did, there wouldn’t be any troops there to begin with. Failing that, you’d think they’d do something to help the broken people (in mind, body, or both) that return home, but they don’t. It’s a total sham any way you slice it.

      Thinking back to around the beginning of both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and the lib takes back then about arabs being backwards and living in the dark ages. Looks like nothings changed :shrug-outta-hecks:

        The ignorance is astounding. You’d think after 20 years they’d know something about the countries they’re so comfortable destroying.
