Coincidentally just as the CIA financed, trained and armed opium warlords and religious zealots to recruit personal armies and set them to burn down thousands of schools all of the country teaching girls in an attempt to eradicate the nascent communist movement and pull their neighbors, the soviet republics, into an unwinnable war of attrition.
yeah but that was back then and also that's uhh whataboutism I think
whataboutism 
voteedit: skibidi vote
Afghanistan wasn't even really pro-USSR, they were just neutral in the cold war and that was enough for the US to start weekly deliveries of grenade launchers to what we now know as Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
The republicans are just about to turn into the Taliban, forcing a dystopian theocratic hellscape on you and stripping you of all your rights.
What should you do about it? Well, obviously you should vote for the people who wants a strong republican party and want to put republicans in their cabinet so they can get "good ideas" from them.
These people are not going to do anything to stop the republicans or to break their institutional power out to handle the socio-economic ills driving support for the republicans. But somehow voting for them is all you have to do to stop the republican Taliban.
I’ve used this argument on my lib friends plenty of times.
You bait them with “Trump is an evil christofascist, right?” or something of that sort, then follow it up with
They usually just get really dismissive and holier than thou but it’s still fun.
And which nation of imperialist cousin fuckers armed the Taliban?
[Trivial: Failure] Encyclopedia - Your mangled brain is unable to come up with a proper critique of this.
The state Afghanistan is in today can be directly traced back to American backing of the mujahideen in the Soviet-Afghan war. Afghanistan is just another casualty in the USA's anti-communist crusade of the 20th century. The damage is multi-generational.
Hun I wonder what was going on in the 70s in Afghanistan
I’m guessing that’s a picture of Afghan women in the 70’s in Kabul or another major city in Afghanistan and not a reflection of Afghan women in the sparser population areas
I hate this shit. Like yeah, this might be a picture of three specific woman living in capital. It's in no way representative. Also, NATO deliberately instigated a war in Afghanistan that lead to the current government so like idk what point they think they're making.
ironic considering that mr jimothy cartier of the democratic party initiated operation cyclone
Imagine arming a bunch of religious reactionaries in Afghanistan, gloating when the USSR failed to stop them from consolidating power, ruining the lives of 100s of millions of people, having these same reactionaries kill your own citizens, and then ignoring all of this just to make this stupid meme.
If Trump is allowed to do Project 1984 then the only porn left will be feet pics and are you really going to pull your tired wiener to some nasty-ass soles?
2005
Afghanis aren't Arabs tho
whaaaaaa?
Isn't that image very much NOT of women in Afghanistan? Some other country, as I recall, but could be confusing it with another similar picture.
Am I... stupid? This appears to just be normal women just existing, maybe their expressions are more fearful than I can make out?
the implication is that Afghanistan in the 70s was oh so free and if Usians do not vote blue then Republicans will make their country just as bad as the Middle East
no context as to what could have caused the Middle East to decline so much in the last 50 years, and a healthy dose of general racism to go with it
Women in afghanistan today are forced to wear burkhas and are not allowed to be seen uncovered in public. The implication is that america today is like afghanistan in the 70s and that the republicans will make it like it is now.
It's playing on racism and islamophobia but also it's ignoring the fact that it was America who turned afghanistan into that by supplying the islamic radicals in order to prevent communism in afghanistan.
i get that the implication is that they're being forced to wear dresses and high heels but why should i assume that other than funny internet text implying that.
edit: im dumb theres probably historical writing on this or something i just didn't read
It's old disgusting chud tier memes from the early 00s
The unspoken implication is that the average liberal hears "Afghanistan" and immediately begins imagining muezzin calls and images of women in burqas being leered at by dangerous, swarthy men with AKs and turbans, and that Afghanistan looks this (incredibly racist stereotypical) way because of religious fundamentalism, and this image is from "pre fundamentalist" Afghanistan , and that if Republicans (also religious fundamentalists) win they'll do the same to the US
It's a deeply racist and orientalist "meme" that's indistinguishable from early 00s chudposting
Nah they have been doing this since 2015
What's the connection between the top text and bottom text?
Just taking two completely unrelated points and throwing them together.
They’re saying that Project 2025 will enforce conservative patriarchal dress for women. Like saying, “You don’t think it can happen here? Well it happened to them.”
That's right! If America has a government it will destroy the rights of women around the world!
