I appreciate your efforts to represent how _you think_ “woke social justice types” think. Unfortunately, I believe more effort is required if you want to get it right. Because on the one hand you’ve highlighted a pretty good reason why such efforts at annexation are maybe not something we should do. But then you’ve specifically discounted the possibility that “woke social justice types” (again, the words you chose to use to describe your envisioned opposition) might base their objections in those _perfectly reasonable_ grounds. No, it has to be “But that’s wrooooong” grounds. Sure. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-we-morally-failed-afghanistan/948636)._
