  • You’re like really mad about this while being completely obtuse. Relax.

    The Mujahedeen weren’t as organized or as unionized, they were scrambled together to fight the Russians. When that was over another imperial force was pushing onto them, now organized they sort of merged with radicalized groups to form what is the Taliban. I had to Google his name but Jalauddin Haqqani is an exact example of what I mean, cut his teeth fighting Russians and moved to fighting US/NATO.

    The ideology they share is main entire reason they were fighting in the first place that you’re completely overlooking. The entire reason any of this happened. To fight imperial powers, to remove them from their country. Which is the same thing the sons of liberty wanted hence the comparison.

    They’re not vaguely nonsecular afghan paramilitaries. They’re people motivated to fight western influence and were lining up under dozens of labels to do so.

    How is this hard to understand?


















  • I’m saying that’s not the path to a solution.

    On one hand that just galvanized more aggression and people wanna act like there is no more aggression that can be had, there is.

    I also think much like the country I live in, most of us don’t like our government and I think poor people are always the weapon. Israeli kids are now getting killed too, their government isn’t going to change its tone over that.

    And on top of it all, look at these comments. None of these people understand what is being voted for, all they see is the headline. This entire thread is full of people who pride themselves on knowing, being smart, being confident in their opinion. Yet none of them thought to consider MTG is what she always is, a baboon banging the drum for attention while getting nothing done.

    This bill was never going to be stopped, that’s the truth. The US will never not supply Israel. What is the REAL solution to that honestly? I think that’s what people are trying to figure out. Governments make money conducting genocides and building weapons to justify more genocides. What are we gonna do about that?

    Well I dunno but it certainly isn’t drowning ever progressive when they misstep or you disagree with them.
