Is the government over there closeted homosexuals or what?
They seem to fit the bill pretty well based off the R politicians getting doxxed on Grindr.
They're aiming for being carbon neutral with speaking.
How long until they run of of ideas and just ban all women entirely
I see this as just another step towards the extremes of ridiculousness that is fundamentalist Islamic religion. Imagine being so disconnected from existence, and being so hypnotised by words, that you would subjugate those in your culture who, through their natural virtue, embody the positive characteristics of the very god they describe and worship such as love, compassion, acceptance, understanding, yeilding, giving etc.
If only this sort of dangerous nonsense were the purview of just fundie Muslims. Fundie Christians would and will do the same things should they gain absolute power.
Right. Margaret Atwood based the Handmaid's Tale as a combination of things that have happened somewhere, and she arguably didn't go far enough.
Controversial statement: We shouldn’t have left.
I agree. I protested the war when it started, but it did start, and it did continue, and Trump's move to free all those Taliban prisoners and basically give the country to them was one tmof the most shameful things America has done in a long time. But Trump loves fascists and the Taliban are fascists.
Actually, US occupation of Afghanistan was a huge waste of money. We should have settled for, leave us alone and we will leave your wretched bronze age asses alone. Fuck with us and we will kill you all.
Uh huh...
It feels like the Taliban is just passing more and more ridiculous subjugation laws to try and get the west to attack them again so that they can go back to riding camels and shooting AKs with their 'brothers' instead of enduring the hell of office work and family life that is modern society.
They are totally free to do that now without the US attacking them. Hopefully the US has learned the lesson that Afghanistan is not worth invading nor "saving".
Predicting in 20 years, all afghani women have super deep voices because they only ever hear men speak
Project 2025 energy.
I actually had "an entire country fails the Bechdel test" on my 2024 bingo card.
I mean.....yeah. They ARE waging an all out war on women. It's the literal taliban. What did you expect?
Oh, hold on, I'm getting a telegram from 1939. It appears as if a Jewish woman in Germany is having a disagreement of opinions with one "Adolph Hitler". Seems this Hitler fellow isn't a fan of the Jews...
