Violence
Definitely violently too.
I actually had "an entire country fails the Bechdel test" on my 2024 bingo card.
I mean.....yeah. They ARE waging an all out war on women. It's the literal taliban. What did you expect?
Oh, hold on, I'm getting a telegram from 1939. It appears as if a Jewish woman in Germany is having a disagreement of opinions with one "Adolph Hitler". Seems this Hitler fellow isn't a fan of the Jews...
*Adolf.
Wait, really? That's an even dumber name that I thought it was already! Normally I'd feel bad for spelling a persons name wrong...but it's literally hitler. Excuse me while I feel no sympathy for insulting one of the biggest facists in history.
I don't know about you but I think that Hitler fellow sounds like a bad egg.
The UK newspaper the Daily Mail had a headline titled 'Hurrah for the Blackshirts!'. Are you telling me the Daily Mail lies?
He’s a little sus.
Some say his policies are sketch.
The more I hear about this Hitler guy, I tell ya
Seems like something I would expect from the Taliban.
“The world has abandoned us,” she added. “They left us to the Taliban, and whatever happens to us now is a result of Western government policies.”
Hear hear.
So, now we WANT America to perpetually occupy Afghanistan?
I think everyone wanted Afghanistan to not give up immediately and surrender to the Taliban. Fighting spirit like Ukraine.
Yes, that's the only option. It's always occupation or no occupation. No other options exist. /s
we wanted them not to occupy it in the first place.
i think everyone is at loss on how to fix it now.
I wish the US had spent its efforts and resources towards completely eliminating the Taliban as an institution and ideology rather than kind of shoveling money around to opportunists with no skills for organizing people or maintaining loyalty. I think what happened instead was that the US was afraid of sparking a new movement that would eventually operate outside of its control so it funded what it thought it could control: rich assholes.
And now the religious fascists are back in charge. Wheee.
Guys, guys - settle down, Pooty Poot just took them off the terrorist list, they’re fiiiiine.
It’s probably just a joke, bro!
Do we have a credible source?
Yes
The Telegraph is the British Conservative Party's media wing. I'm not saying this isn't true, but it would come better from someone else.
Oh I didn’t know. I thought they were legit.
Just because they're conservative doesn't mean they're publishing falsehoods. Just be on the lookout for bias, which you should for all media.
For example, the oppression of women in Afghanistan is probably being reported on more by conservative sources not because they are against the oppression of women, but because they're hawks who disagreed with leaving Afghanistan, and there's probably some anti-muslim sentiment motivating it as well. Likewise liberal media sources are probably ignoring it because leaving Afghanistan the way America did was largely considered to be a disaster which was finalized under a Democratic administration, and for all their talk of caring about women they did basically abandon half the population of an entire nation. It would probably not help their side of the current election cycle to shine light on the catastrophic fallout of one of Biden's major international policy decisions.
Which one would that be?
