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?

Sorry, I interpreted it as supporting the Houthi. That is buy Houthi products from Houthi businesses.

You didn't say Yemeni in your reply.

Empower the legitimate businesses and the people in the region who aren't launching missiles

But we got there eventually. All good bro.
