@version made a similar point about the capitol hill insurrection, about how it feels odd reading encyclopedic accounts of recent events. From wikipedia:

After the Fall of Kabul in August 2021 during the 2021 Taliban offensive, the Afghan government began negotiations with the Taliban, although it appears unlikely that they will end in anything less than an unconditional surrender by the government.[15][16][17] A peaceful transfer of power has been requested by the Taliban,[17] and the government has declared its willingness to abide.[18] However, the government has requested that power be transferred to a transitional government, while the Taliban desires a complete transfer of power.[19] NATO forces maintain a presence in Kabul.[20]

That’s great - then discussion of the photograph and its positioning in these terms and not some unrelated stay get beheaded or go get saved scenario might be undertaken as was initial intention. Or not. Posturing is boring.
This doesn't even make sense. Are you drunk?

You literally said *whatever that means* then said in the next post *i know what that means* thanks, and called her an edgelord lol

Just take the L and walk away
I meant that the phrase, as I understand it, isn't defined as anyone who doesn't have a bland indifference to suffering, which @HannahB presumably considers the correct, non-racist attitude.

very deliberate, they have done a very successful social media campaign in AFG it seems
https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blo...-the-operational-art-of-its-military-victory/ (a steaming hot take though from a blatantly partisan source)
Did you see the thing about their spokesman getting into it with Facebook regarding free speech?

"A Facebook spokesperson declined to comment on the criticism from her Taliban counterpart but provided a statement from the company explaining the rationale for the ban."

:ROFLMAO:

I like how "Taliban counterpart" makes it sound like they're competing terrorist organisations.

I don’t understand what you want to argue about or why this has gone to italics. The photo and article is very disturbing beyond the binarizing you took it to or anything you have said since. I am not drunk but now have a headache from your noise. Maybe buy some khol because you know, varying degrees.

Tucker did a bangin segment last night about how they spent a billion dollars trying to offer Afghan women masters degrees in gender studies. Feminism is imperialism and always has been.

lol, the mainstream media is a destitute landscape so Tucker has carved out a huge audience just by being sensible enough to point out the huge contradictions in the system.
But yeah it’s not “the reason,” but it points out something we should get: all those NGO efforts to teach Afghan women feminism wasn’t to show them the beauty of lib democracy or whatever, it was to turn them into pliant western consumers. It didn’t work and that’s why the ruling class eventually soured on the occupation.

Actually we need some Afghan women of all different wealth brackets/ urban/ rural/ ages plus Feminist & gender theorists on here to make this discussion rigorous or at least real.
Feminism and Gender Studies once learnt and lived cannot be forgot even if entirely a western oriented imposition in that all non-western genders and feminisms may be utterly different and intersectional.
