Maybe the people disagreeing with this should have stepped up some time in the last 20 years when the US was there to help. Instead as soon as the US left they traded their weapons to the taliban for iphones and went home.

By the logic of your first sentence, why should the West accept Afghani "refugees" and eventually have to fight against them when they try to impose their backwards beliefs on the West or when their communitiesgrt hijacked by radicals and they in lockstep with trying to impose sharia? A man does not value what he has not earned.  Afghans want the freedom they don't want to fight for.  Abhorrent.

What a laughably privileged statement from someone who certainly hasn't earned the privilege they enjoy. You didn't fight for the franchise, you didn't fight to steal the wealth that paid for the founding of the institutions of government you now enjoy. You just sit online and justify keeping all that unearned privilege for "us" because "they" don't deserve it. You're a coward masquerading as what you envision "hard" men are. Pathetic.l

Take Fatima Peyman as an example. We took her in as an Afghan refugee, and she is still a citizen despite attempts to renounce said citizenship. She decides to enter governance by running in a rural district where there was no competition as a Labor party candidate. She gets the job by default and is sworn in as a senator. Then she immediately leaves the Labor party and forms an Islamic party against the population's will. Since then she's been all manner of toxic, pretty much exclusively talking about Palestine and pulling publicity stunts. As someone from Iran myself who got here because my family were refugees, she is a blindingly obvious example of Islamic invasion.

Sorry I hear Islamic invasion and it just makes me react negatively as I’m sick of the far right racism and propaganda here in the U.K. and that’s one of the ways they try to sell it. To be clear I am against people being forced to live in fear and under any type of terrorising regime, whatever the culture or religion. Be it interpretations of islam or interpretations of Christianity.

Let's say it loud for the people in the back: ISLAM ISN'T A RACE for the last f\*cking time. Whenever people say this, I know they are supremely ignorant and intellectually lazy. It's a RELIGION, just like Christianity and if you're horrified by the tenets and made-up claims of the 2nd Abrahamic religion of Christianity, wait until you hear about the THIRD version of Abrahamic religion. It is not fair to the people ESCAPING Islam to the West, only to suffer under the same fascist 7th century bs again. Do you cope this hard for Scientologists? No? Then think very carefully about what you're saying.
View on Reddit #39328220

Lavapool@reddit

Nobody is saying Islam is a race. The reason it’s racism is because the hate directed almost exclusively at non-white Muslims, Arabs, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Senegalese etc. You don’t see anywhere the same energy for Bosnians, Kosovars, Macedonians, Montenegrins or even Albanians who did get some flack more recently. The recent riots in the UK were triggered because a black Welshman with Rwandan heritage stabbed some children, and the far right claimed he was a Muslim immigrant simply because he wasn’t white. It is 100% accurate to describe it as racism.

Keep in mind though that those "neo-nazis" are the staunchest opponents of these pro-Caliphate protests. The government is adressing them with silk gloves. So it's a bit disingenous to associate them with the pro-Caliphate protests that have been the topic of discussion here. Can argue on whether or not they would effectively eliminate them if they really were in power, but if the ruling parties don't even propose a course of action against it, one might be considering the mystery box over the one one knows is empty for sure.

So what? Minorities are what matters. In any islamic society, 50 percent of the population, are women. They dont matter politically anywhere. Another percentage points, are the young male boys, they dont matter. Another few percentages are the very old, they also cant decide anything. Many percentage points are the ones that dont care about politics and would go with anything- they would still be a butcher or whatever, a carpenter, be it under a dictatorship or a democracy, they dont really care. Another great part are the ones that dont like the islamists, but hate the values of the west more, so they would be passive spectators and would ultimately choose them if they would be forced to make a choice. Bolsheviks in Russia were a fraction of the population. So what?

This is the far right, just a different flavor. Oppressing women in the name of religion is a far right trait. Racist, misogynist whites and radical, fundamentalist Muslims who call for Sharia law, have a lot more in common than most progressives are willing to admit. That's not to say all Muslims are like that, obviously. Plenty Muslims of are, of course, normal, modern people trying to get by, like every other demographic. But there absolutely is a disturbing trend of extremely regressive ideas coming from a concerning amount of hyper religious zealots. There should be a reasonable conversation about this problem that doesn't devolve either into "ALL Muslims blah blah blah there brown and I don't like it", or "any criticism of Islam is racist and everything is totally fine!"

What does sharia law have to do with this nonsense happening in Afghanistan? Even within sharia law it is the insane low IQ morons making their own interpretations just to subjugate women and stay in power. The biggest shameful thing is the US destroying the country in the guise of fighting the Taliban, and decades later they just let Taliban come back in and just basically start all over again.
View on Reddit #39344228

I-Make-Maps91@reddit

It's an excuse for "the West" to hate Muslims. The US had our own moral panic about it 10-15 years ago; Shariah law means everything from "we would like to have religious matters decided internally" (i.e. you need to have volunteer counseling with an imam to work out the differences before divorce as a form of arbitration, something not limited to Muslims) to whatever the Taliban says. It's not like people are unaware of doctrinal differences across religious sects, Islam is just even more foreign and the names are "strange" so it's easy to demonize.

Im just gonna clear some things up real quick. A majority of muslims are in favor of sharia. That same majority also understand that there is not a single country on earth today that actually practices sharia but instead use it as a scapegoat for their corruption (such as iran and afghanistan). This is why they dont typically ask for it and hesitate to bring it up with non-muslims. With the way corruption is spread in the world, it will never be implemented correctly. Sharia as it is ***supposed*** to be implemented is a fair law. Unfortunately, human corruption has ruined it.

They're going full steam ahead back to the full actualization of the former IEA state of 1996 - 2001 and implementation of all its policies, picking up where they left off before the ousting in 2001. Except, being somewhat familiar with their previous state during that period, I don't even remember a specific policy this hardline actually being a thing then. Someone correct me if I'm wrong or overlooked it. Anyway, it's not going to stop. As I continually keep saying in the case of all news like this related to the new Afghan government's consolidation of power and realization of their vision, it is not up to any foreign power or outside force any longer.

Well, yeah. The Taliban's back in power now because enough Afghans are basically fine with it. It's not about voting or electoral participation. They're allowed in power by enough of their own populace. What a lot of people don't realize is that every government there is or ever was in human history requires some degree of consent, acceptance, and participation of the governed population. Even the absolute monarchies, Stalinist state, Khmer Rouge, etc. So when a point in time comes in the future when this state falls, as all states eventually do, it will be because a critical mass of the Afghan people no longer do, for one or more reasons. No one can say whether that'll be in five years or 500.

Not really. Governments need the consent of whoever wields power, but that’s often not representative of the civilian population. A government like Saddam Hussein’s was wildly unpopular but it didn’t matter because he had the consent of the military.
View on Reddit #39304398

ThevaramAcolytus@reddit

Popularity and unpopularity is a different matter than consent to continue to govern though. Popularity matters in an actual election. I'm talking about the state's ability to continue to remain in power and govern day to day. It doesn't necessitate full agreement or really any agreement at all from the majority of the civilian populace. As long as people don't all protest around the clock, riot, walk out of every school and work facility, or pick up a gun or an improvised explosive and fight, then that's all that matters. And as long as the majority of people feel opposition to the state is not worth risking their and their family's home and lives for the time being, then the state is safe.
View on Reddit #39304843

I_Am_Become_Dream@reddit

your definition of consent is so wide that it is pretty much meaningless. It’s consent to not be killed. By this definition the majority of European Jews consented to the Nazi government because they didn’t die fighting to not be taken to camps. And sure, you can define consent as such, but then your next logical step that because they “consented”, it’s their problem and responsibility, that’s where you’re wildly wrong.
View on Reddit #39305833

Scrat-Scrobbler@reddit

They're not saying consent of the society means consent from everyone. It's about a majority of the population, because no government can survive 51% of people turning against them. Plenty of jews did fight back and often those who didn't, couldn't because they were isolated and overpowered. Not to mention it took awhile before they knew what went on in those camps. And yeah when you're talking about the society as a whole it kinda *is* their problem and responsibility, because we know how well interventionism works for making a society *less* radical. We can offer aid, resources, information, etc, but ultimately societal change comes from within.

The women won’t speak a word to anyone, and the crusty-dusty men with them scowl and give threatening energy to anyone who even glances in their general direction. Often the woman and accompanying girls have extremely long hair, sometimes in a bun, and are wearing long skirts/dresses. And when I mean they won’t speak to anyone- I mean literally. They don’t even respond to common pleasantries like ‘good morning’ or ‘thank you’. They just ignore your whole presence entirely.

I was once told that the west has its most successful interventions when they are both carrot and stick. The example that was given was Japan. The US left enough of the Japanese government intact through out WW2 that they could take an unconditional surrender from someone, use their command structure to enforce that surrender, levied to them terms that largely amounted to maintaining only a small self defense force and giving up all colonies, and finally, extended the reconstruction effort to their country. In Afghanistan there has been less than a 10 year period where the same government has been in control for more than a century so the US would have had to start from scratch which had not worked for almost any former Ottoman state. I have a feeling that depending on the way the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the Israel Hamas conflict progresses intervention from the west may still be on the table. . . That thought makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

Zionism is using religion to commit atrocities in Palestine as we speak, killing men, women and children indiscriminately because some made up fairytale in a book told them some shite thousands of years ago.....they are actively using religion to wipe the Palestinians off the face of the earth.

And the mask comes off. You hate Jewish people, we get it. Can't even acknowledge the Taliban exterminating women without you pulling up Palestine. I'm Iranian. The mullahs killed half my family for being Bahai. A lot of that is because they were so passive that they never lifted a finger until basiji invaders were already purging our homeland. Palestinian suffering is the work of the IRGC first and foremost. Islam is a curse upon this world and it's clearly gotten a hold of you too.

What mask? I hate all fundamentalists. I hate religion. It's a cancer. The world would be a much better place with no religion at all. Sorry for your loss but it doesn't change what is happening in the rest of the world. As I said get rid of religion full stop. It's a cancer that's destroyed large parts of humanity.

>As I said get rid of religion full stop. At which point you're implying that my family deserved to die because they were religious pacifists. Secular society works for a reason and it must be protected. >I don't hate Jewish people at all. I hate Zionists. You hate Jewish people, but saying the quiet part out loud is a bad look. So many Israelis and Jews get dogpiled just for existing, being born and raised in circumstances outside of their control because of successful IRGC propaganda. Shira Haas, Noa Argamani, Shirel Golan and professor Steven Prawer are all great examples of this. Note that I will not tolerate whataboutism here because these people did not deserve the treatment they received. The suffering of Palestine is real and it's gruesome, none of it should ever happen, but it is facilitated by the resources stolen from our dead bodies being directed against the most reactionary bastards in the Knessett. Sayyad sniper rifles and IRGC owned soviet weapons were used to enact October 7th. Mohammed Zahedi, an IRGC general, planned October 7th with Sinwar. Ismail Haniyeh the invader died in Tehran not far from where we used to live. Raisi executed hundreds of thousands of us real Iranians over the years only for the UN to hold a damn funeral for him. With all of this considered, at some point you have to ask if what you're advocating for is too far. My people in Iran right now are without power, internet, safety or sovereignty purely because of Islamic terrorism. The mullahs are the true source of violence in this conflict and they are the reason for your hatred. Iran must be returned to us in order for the violence to end.

You have a skewed view of things. I never said your family deserved to die. I said more is less the opposite. Religion was the cause of their death - so no religion no cause it's death. Re Palestine - what happened there on Oct 7 was terrible. It's a result of Israel occupying the Palestinians' land since Israel was founded in the middle of the last century. It all comes down to religion the in the end. Get rid of the mullahs (not as easy as saying it). Then get rid of religion. It's only a curse. I and many people I know don't have any religion and we're just fine.

Normal healthy men in a normal healthy society love their women and can't get enough of them. The level of misogyny the Taliban are hitting is just outing themselves as closet homosexuals at this point. Also mods, if you see this, your implementation of the 150 characters requirement is idiotic and you should remove it.
