Because they need to be the smartest babyboys in the room, and if everyone has a simple solution, then you can feel really smart if you can point out how it’s not at all that simple actually. It’s literally all their policy.
“Israel-Palestine is complicated.” No it isn’t, stop funding colonial settlers doing genocide.
“Homelessness is complicated” no it isn’t, give them homes.
“Starvation is complicated” No it isn’t, we produce more food than we need and throw most of it out before it even reaches a store. Give it away.
“Healthcare is complicated” no it isn’t, make it universal like everywhere else
“Education is complicated” no it isn’t, make it free
“War is complicated” no it isn’t, stop doing it
“Water scarcity is complicated” no it isn’t, stop having golf courses and stop growing pistacchios in a desert
“Public transport is complicated” no it isn’t, you’re just wasting all the money on financing the private automobile industry
“The massive prisoner population and wrongful incarcerations and shitty courts is complicated” no it isn’t, you’ve privatized prison and you’re using slave patrols to uphold the law. Don’t do that.
Libs like to pretend like this shit is complicated so they can feel cleverer than the people that say the things are simple. Now if these things actually ARE simple, then the libs would turn out to be fucking idiots.

It’s worse than that. The US massively subsidizes a lot of staples. They’re dumped on foreign markets at below market prices. Local food producers can’t sell their product and eventually fold, shutting down their farms. Or they switch to cash crops. Then, when the US decides to send it’s grain somewhere else, or the market for hte cash crop collapses, there’s either no money to buy food or no food at all and people starve.
A lot of 20th and 21st century famines were caused this way, with western powers, the IMF, the world bank, destroying local food security, forcing cash crops on people, instituting expensive input intensive farming practices unsuited for hte land, then wringing their hands and holding Live Aid concerts when a famine ensued.
