Meh. You don't get to blame slavery or the CIA forever.
Some places just suck.
fundamentalist islam, like all forms of fundamentalist religion, are the root cause, and all the footsoldiers of these religions are the majority of the population.
the only reason why they survive (like north korea) is because it's hard to eradicate them from their mountains. both countries have the same history in their wars. conventional warfare fails against mountain tyrants.
so, yeah, the places are sticky for tyranny. they should just be avoided. "some places just suck" is totally true in as far as once evil gets lodged in such places, it is almost impossible to dislodge.
this is also why i stay out of big cities. they are also hard to purge of criminality. the geography is similar, just on a different scale, hidden inside concrete walls instead of sandstone rock caves.
Its worst than you think.
The article is about how they just left women in the rubble and doctors refused to treat them, after the last earthquake.
Cuz you're not supposed to look at, or touch, women you aren't related to. 🥴 Also, you aren't supposed to hear their voices.
Female voices so hot, apparently.
gotta keep those bogeymen incubating
Idk- the incompetent us government handed the Taliban billions in military hardware and the Norks have nukes
My suspicion is that it's a lot like the communist party of Cuba, or the regime in Iran.
That is, when a nation faces an existential threat from foreign powers that have shown themselves to be relentless and unconcerned with the wellbeing of the nation itself, people tend to rally around whatever hope they have for keeping that foreign threat at bay, and recognize that they don't have the luxury of being picky about those internal policies.
The west likes to point fingers everywhere except back at the imperial forces under its own control.
So who's to blame for the Taliban? Here's looking at you, NATO countries.
