Consented

Drunk

Drunk people can’t consent, dipshit.

Edit: And that’s before mentioning she was given high amount of other substances that she was not used to.

Proving anything means nothing when lawyers can be thrown at the problem by the richer party until the problem disappears. Its very hard to bring forth a suit when you have very little funds to get it off the ground. Lawyers are far from cheap in the US.

And this is before bringing up that there is no federal price gouging law in the US. And that price gouging is only illegal in certain states with price gouging laws when there is a declared state of emergency or natural disaster. And typically price gouging fines are as low as $100 to $1000 and is a misdemeanor. This is per incident, with several states having a cap within a certain time frame [ie.Alabama with no more than a $25,000 fine per day of there are enough proven instances.]

Price gouging in the US is literally legal short of those specific circumstances. And the penalty is absolutely nothing for these huge chain grocers. So why should we believe that these grocers will act in our best interest?

I don’t even live in the US

We know. The laws written on paper aren’t reflective of the realities of living in the US. You only have to look at price gouging that has been happening since at least the Covid pandemic to see how blatant it is..

The US has toppled more countries, both single-handedly and with allies compared to Al-Qaeda. The US has started or been responsible for exacerbating more famines/droughts/critical supplies shortages than Al-Qaeda. The US has killed more people, and has more people in slavery than Al-Qaeda. The US has ruined more parts of the world than Al-Qaeda has.

Logically, no matter how you cut it, the US is significantly worse when compared to Al-Qaeda. And this is before mentioning how the US essentially funded and created the conditions for Al-Qaeda through their worsening affects on the Middle East; as well as trained and funded the Mujahideen to fight the Soviets which helped fund Osama Bin Laden and later Al-Qaeda.

If we’re using material harm to a person or region as the metric for measurement: objectively yes.

Both are terrible, but the US is pretty clearly worse.

I implore everyone reading this line about “force-feeding” look into the actual process. It is literally torture. Especially what happens when you’re within US detention. Be aware the video is very graphic and disturbing: This article and video featuring Mos Def shows how brutal and horrific being fed against your will is. I can’t say with certainty that this is the method being used. I would however be surprised if the methods used were more humane/different from this one.
