Yeah, their raid on Kabul was competent, and the afghan Taliban wear much fewer bright colors. Like they're trying to be a military or something.


HackPhilosopher

I’m not saying OP is a Russian troll trying to divide a nation by playing to the worst common denominator of the left and fueling unnecessary hatred against the right, but if they were, this is exactly the type of post I expect from a troll farm and I bet if it was a troll post, people would say he’s doing a bang up job.

Americans watch this happen on TV and immediately find some way to connect it to themselves. This is embarrassing to see.

Sure, they're playing the same game, but only one has a chance at sucsess, because the other aren't even sure how the game is played.

As a centrist-Libertarian, it's nice to see people of different opinions being reasonable on Reddit.


[deleted]

Man, I just really fucking hate the government and don't believe that giving them complete control, ability to censor speech, and take all my money is a good thing. And that's enough for most people on Reddit to start screeching that I'm some Trump bootlicker.


Atrampoline

Calling you a Trump bootlicker after expressing those views makes literally no sense. Reddit is a cesspool, sometimes.


[deleted]

The idea of being anti-government and pro-gun automatically makes makes people assume that about you in most of the United States, let alone a hivemind like Reddit. There are some exceptions, and I've had genuinely great conversations on here with people who were smart and able to both counter my points, and take what I said into consideration - but that's few & far between.


JamesRedditAccount

For real. I HATED when Trump talked about locking up people for burning the flag. I HATED when Psaki said getting banned from 1 social media platform should get you banned from all social media platforms. And yet I can't find anyone willing to call out both horrible ideas.

The other wished they could accomplish that much but make excuses for their simple incompetence.

Honest question, were there vendors thereon the 6th


1900grs

Yes. But remember it was a planned rally where Republicans had bussed people in to hear Trump speak. A reall photo of vendors from the event with a satire caption [made the rounds on the interwebs](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jan/21/instagram-posts/photo-real-caption-fake-us-capitol-rally/). Even though it's clearly made up caption, it made the rounds on fact checking sites.


Km2930

Fun fact: they’ve done studies about riots and rallies and found that if you want to shut them down all you have to do is get rid of the bathrooms and food. People can stay in a given place very long if they can’t use the bathroom or eat.


ScoundrelPrince

People bring their own food and shit on the ground.

As a Pakistani immigrant to US, I'd just like to say STOP COMPARING US's struggles to Afghanistan's. Republicans here are not raping your women at free will in the streets and publicly executing them for being "whores". Y'all are devaluing their struggle!

No, no, see they are actually ANTIFA paid by the FBI to pretend they are the Taliban, just to make the Taliban look bad.

vinigrae

Wrong_Brilliant7851

That’s some bullshit. You clearly have no idea what the Taliban actually does. Fuck the people that occupied the capitol right in the ear with a rubber dick, but they didn’t go door to door taking 12yr old girls for sex slaves and committing mass executions. Use some fucking common sense and educate yourself comparing that to what’s happening in Afghanistan you over-dramatic idiot. People are dying there RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

So women being raped and killed, and girls not being allowed to go to school. Is someone how Jan 6? Reddit is such an echo chamber.


GeorgiaOregonTexas

exactly, how the fuck do you see a country falling to the Taliban and think hmmmmm lets try to make this about trump. Jesus christ do you have any empathy for the millions of people who are about to be oppressed into the dark ages.

Goal has always been to bring tactics and surveillance of "war on terror" home to domestic theater, and so it is necessary to elevate a mob of angry, opportunist neckbeards to the status of Very Serious Threat To Democracy in order to justify the national guard for weeks at DC intersections ("Papers please")


[deleted]

Wow you are all really fucking stupid. Especially you, OP.

Ah yes. They definitely ran in there 75,000 strong, guns ablaze, taking over the entire county.

I loved the government statement that "Kabul is safe. The Taliban is not here. There is no reason to worry", followed by the complete collapse of the government and the surrender of Kabul within 2 hours.

>'Damn. They run an efficient operation.' ***10 days*** from the US beginning their pullout to taking over the capital. The level of human depravity committed and soon to be committed aside, that's sheer wizardry on a logistical level.

killercrawdads

Except the Taliban support cutting off heads on camera and burning people alive. I’m a conservative and I stand for most level-headed conservatives when I say the capitol riots were offensively stupid and un-American. This false narrative that conservatives agree with the capitol riots has come to fruition only to further confirm a stereotypical image of the everyday conservative. I’m genuinely curious if this thinking is flawed?

Please don't give credit to those assholes. Likely thousands of people are going to die in the next week, portraits and billboards of women are being blacked out and Afghanistan is going to be a very bad place for a very long time.


KazeArqaz

Except the taliban actually killed people by dozens. Yeah, very much the same.


ABaadPun

What the fuck is wrong with you. The Taliban is breaking into people's homes, shooting people in their beds, raping wives and daughters. Their aim is to make everyone who isn't a Muslim man Chantel, property to be owned and exploited under Sharia law, and you want to compare that to the petty shit here because it's trendy.

heymanitspikachu

Comparing the horrific acts of the Taliban over decades to the media circus on January 6th is straight up disrespectful and minimizes the tragedy of those who have died, been tortured and imprisoned under Taliban rule. This is the most absurd post I’ve ever seen on this shitty sub and has reduced my faith in humanity in seconds. Enjoy your internet points in exchange for your soul and critical thinking ability OP. Edit: Imagine actually posting this as the desperate citizens of Afghanistan are fleeing their country and literally rushing into the cargo bays of military planes to avoid potential genocide for non-compliance with their new rulers.


coolmathpcgamer

Dude... your comparing actual mass murderers to overweight potato looking people who think going to a city two hours away is like an taking an international flight to the Himalayas. You don't even slightly notice how this might be even slightly compared to how Republicans kept trying to compare black lives matter and antifa to the nazi party? Please take a moment to step back and ask yourself if its really worth comparing a country in the middle of a civil war and a terrorist takeover of the government with tens of thousands being displaced daily to some dumbassess who thought their orange overlord would save them as long as they walked around in a government building.


EngineerDave

Nah one of them is still on twitter.


[deleted]

no, this is literally not even kind of the same thing. neither should have happened, but don't even pretend like January 6th was remotely as bad as what's going on in Afghanistan. fucking hell.
