The idea of letting kids make video games for other kids was great IMO. The idea that it had be financialized with micro transactions that resulted in a mass child labor scheme was that problem.

Calling the democratic party a “coalition” is extremely generous. It’s historically been a corrupt patronage network since Van Buren and any attempt to make it represent the will of its voters is thwarted internally. Its history is a graveyard of progressive movements.

fwiw headscale is pretty easy to self host and has minimal system requirements.

It is funny that involvement in Afghanistan has been passed back and forth between the US an Russia for half a century. Before that it was the UK and Russia. But thats not what the meme is about. The meme revels in its own ignorance of the situation.

Yes, ISKP is a direct consequence of US meddling in the region. Many of it’s members were our collaborators. But I think you’re being unfair here if you’re going to equate Russia trying to stabilize the Taliban’s rule with America’s failure to replace it. Its possible that Russia’s involvement can escalate like it did in the 80s but I doubt that’ll happen. That would be like the America deciding to send troops to Vietnam again.

Finally anyone who has a grain’s worth of intuition about the world’s politics would know that what Russia calls “a partnership against terrorism” is a cover up for continuing to meddle in affairs of middle eastern countries

See that’s just it. You’re operating off you’re preconceived notions instead of the facts on the ground. The fact is the ISKP is operating in northern Afghanistan and is a threat to literally everyone in the region. When you put that into perspective, the meme is not funny and is massively ignorant. Despite all the injustices the Taliban commits, the Islamic State is far far worse. They’re the ones actively suicide bombing Hazari women and the only ones who can stop them are, regrettably the Taliban. Thats a grim and morbid reality, because the Taliban is racist as hell against Hazari’s but they aren’t genocidal like the Islamic State. We’d both like to seem some progressive secular democracy in the region but we spent two decades pissing any chances of that away.

Yeah they’re hyper conservative religious zealots. I have many criticisms of them. Islamic state is far far worse though. Can you at least recognize that the Islamic State is worse?

I never said they didn’t arm them. I explicitly stated multiple times that we agreed on this front. All I stated is that the only islamists doing terrorism are the wahhabists and then you’re like “ah BUT did you consider that the CIA funded those terrorists???” as though that disproves anything I said.

You tried to frame what should’ve been an “yes AND” as some disagreement. There is no disagreement.

All I’m doing is pointing out the a the Islamic State is strictly worse than the Taliban and its good that the Taliban are fighting them. I’d prefer it’d be someone other than the Taliban but that doesn’t change the facts.

Making fun of the Taliban for joining forces against the Islamic State, the terrorists from the meme is defending them.

The Islamic State are the ones suicide bombing Hazari women at the moment not the Taliban.

And are you simping for the Islamic State?

I think we’re done here after that embarrassing tantrum.

No. And no patience for the semantic argument you’re wasting my time with when we both agree on the material reality

I said “Islamic terrorism is almost exclusively the domain of wahhabi’s” and you’re argueing, “what if the CIA funded the wahhabi’s?” as though that contradicts my point.

I don’t know what the disagreement is. Its always the wahhabi’s executing the actual terrorism. If you want to lump in their sponsors, like is said, “go off”. But you’re framing it like I’m ignorant of that which I’m not.

Pull your head out of your ass. Assaulting protestors is something every government does, legitimate or not. How many countries can you name that haven’t assaulted protestors? Even Jefferson’s “watering the tree of liberty” quote is about murdering protestors.

Now if you actually read into the article you posted, the Hazari women were protesting the Taliban’s lack of response to an actual terrorist suicide bombing by ISKP. The Islamic State has been aggressively massacring Hazari’s ever since the US left. That said, its not like the Taliban are the friends of Hazari’s, they just aren’t massacring them.

I specified “Islamic terrorists” for a reason but go off.

Ripits are only for butt chugging

Agreed, but they are the official energy drink of the US Army. I’m sure more than one private had boofed a ripit. Sorry you didn’t get a Charger. You would’ve love it.

The Taliban is an illegitimate government in Afghanistan

They won the war. Its their state now.

acts of violence for political means. The very definition of Terorism.

Something literally every government must do is the definition of terrorist. Something fundamental to the nature of being a state is terrorism. Jesus Christ you’re brainwashed.

Those are the terrorists the Taliban is currently fighting. Islamic State Khorasan Province, ISKP.
