How is the taliban of some resistance that I should look at positively or not despise? How do you look at these things and bend yourself into a pretzel justifying it because america is bad?
Not asking America to invade this hell but why should these people being given any leniency or understanding when they make people live in these retarded ways?
If you think this post is actually cia propaganda and Taliban dosen't do things like this at all then show me. If you want to make some noble savage argument that they are a unique culture and we can't relate to these decisions or judge them because we are westerners then kys

May some neo-ISIS sell your ass in a sex slave market you fucking moron
>>2196866The Taliban (as a movement) has to be understood within its historical and cultural context. The kneejerk reaction to the Taliban is that they are obviously wrong without understanding the rationale for their beliefs and policies. This isn't so much an endorsement of the Taliban, more pointing out that demonizing them doesn't help in understanding them at all. Do you really think a society that was invaded twice in 40 years and each time the invaders used "liberating women" and "women's rights" as a stick to intervene would react by embracing feminist politics? Very few people seem to understand the Taliban and what their ideas consist of, but everyone's perfectly happy to make them out as if they are the ultimate evil. The Taliban didn't nuke Nagasaki or carry out the Holocaust.
When it comes to Westerners judging the Taliban, I'd really like to know what moral standard are we using? How fallible is it? Are Afghans free to reject those moral standards? Often the demand to condemn the Taliban (and Hamas too) looks a lot like 19th century Europeans complaining about how brutal and savage Africans or native Papuans are and why they shouldn't be allowed to rule themselves.
>>2196873>no amount of top-down social engineering circlejerk by a bunch of liberal NGOs within the city limits of Kabul and their pet projects will have any lasting effect on country-level women's rights.What was more telling was the way many rural Afghan women seemed to be disinterested in liberal NGOs and their women's rights agenda and how many of them even supported the Taliban's insurgency against the US.
Progressives, including leftists, are often extremely conceited and blind to the fact that what they see as good or desirable for women is simply the product of their own worldview. We treat liberty as a natural ideal, but Nietzsche pointed out that it was an idea of the ruling class and not natural at all. Progressives and leftists assumed in 2001 that with the fall of the Taliban, women would cast off their burkas and embrace their new found rights, yet the vast majority of Afghan women did not behave this way. It also created a massive backlash because many ordinary Afghans understandably associated women's rights and feminism with neocolonial occupation.
>>2244466This is the same argument people use for why countries that are sanctioned don't support LGBT yet Cuba with 64 years of sanctions support abortion rights and even trans rights at a higher level than many western countries
Your argument falls apart fast.
>>2244482The Taliban didn't exist in the 80s. They aren't a tribe. And their religious views don't align with the Saudis, something al-Qaeda rank and file complained about in the 90s.
>>2244492But Cuba and Afghanistan a massively different. There are different historical and material conditions at play. Its not simply an issue of ideology.
>>2244496Your going off the basis that women don't like being made to wear "trash bag outfits" and if we go by the conventions of American and European or Japanese women, that's certainly correct. But Afghan women, especially rural Afghan women, do not share those beliefs. Burkas are just an accepted and ordinary part of many rural women's dress.
I don't see anyone shilling Islamism here. It just seems a lot of anons here can't read and their response when they fail at argument is to poison the well and accuse their opponent of being X or Y boogeyman.

Another reason why I grew allergic to 'muh intersectionality' . Turns out it's always communists diluting (sometimes even betraying) their position to accommodate for the "allies" and to uphold solidarity. But the opposite never happens, when the communist needs support from his "allies", they will be the first to piss on him.
There is no brotherhood with the islamists because they will exterminate communists at the first chance they get.
>>2244560Is it the Saudi's like in Network 1976?
"Am mad as hell and not going to take it any more!"
Good movie, you should give it a watch anon.
>>2244704Please.
Please can we start making our own soyjak variants.
