    Then maybe they should’ve fought along with the ANA and ANP against the Taliban during the last twenty fucking years to ensure their rights were secured through violence.

    This is how LGBTQIA+ communities are going to slowly lose their rights in the USA to Christofacist Republicans (who have identical ideologies to the fucking Taliban); no one on the Left is using the deterrence of violence to ensure their own existence.

    Buy a fucking gun and train with it every month and protest while open-carrying. Cops & Republicans want you gone, and democrats are too scared of guns to actually protect you if push came to shove, also they are more interested in corporate profits over your life and/or lifestyle anyway (notice the rainbow flags disappeared after Pride Month passed by).

      I’m pretty confident next to none of them supported the Taliban. It really wouldn’t matter if they fought or not because they are a tiny minority in their country, and their contributions wouldn’t have changed a thing.

          I’m not suggesting they do anything, except for the fact they got Delta shit sandwich and I’m not about to criticize them for doing or not doing anything, because it’s really not their fault they are where they are.

        When you were born, your beautiful amazing mother had to push you out of her body by force.

        If you are hungry, you eat something that was killed for you (plant, animal, fungus), or indirectly responsible for something to die (i.e. a cow eating grass to make milk).

        Violence is fundamentally necessary for you to exist. If you don’t leverage it as a deterrence, someone else will use it against you for their own benefit.

      You mean the ANA that wasn’t even getting paid for the last 10 months of its existence? The US allowed corruption to fester in the Afghan government and their own contractors, yet Americans have the gall to blame Afghans for the situation Americans created.

      Always funny to see people on social media talking big about how other people should violently overthrow their government. Bunch of tough guy victim blaming bullshit. The US created this situation and failed to resolve it, that’s where the responsibility lies.
