I will be the first to absolutely despise the taliban and what they have done over the last 40 years, but i fucking hate the phrase “educated and free thinking”, as it really is a one way trip to “the colonialists freed them” or “the colonialists educated them”… which is exactly what they want to do, I guess. colonize them
also, of course, the US bears a lion’s share of the blame for the current situation in afghanistan, but it’s been an overall really weird situation - even China supported the mujahideen back in the day. would be cool if it were still communist, as it was up until 1992 :/
Liberal hawks going “The Taliban is anti-LGBT and misogynistic, that’s why we should bomb them back to the stone age and install a colonial government!”
Obviously they should be ruthlessly criticized for their awful ideas. It’s up to our comrades and feminists in Afghanistan to revolt against the current order rather than imperial subjugation for sure. The “white man’s burden” still thrives to this day.
Well see if the eebill USSR hadn’t been mucking about in Afghanistan, we wholesome Amerikkkan imperialists wouldn’t have had to fund the Mujahideen freedom fighters! And they’re the ones who mostly became the Taliban! So it really is all the commies fault sweaty!

I’ve seen capitalist bootlickers try to blame the Soviet Union for the Taliban existing.
