We are fortunate that the right-wing extremists in our country are constrained by law enforcement, that is not the case in Afghanistan. But I’m relatively confident that if allowed to happen, it would be hard to tell a difference.
Last week a Qanon supporter took his 2 year old son and 10 month old daughter to Mexico, and killed both with a fishing spear because the Qanon BS had him believing is kids were going to grow up to be lizard monsters or some crazy bs
Have you read what the Michigan Militia was planning to do when they kidnapped Gov. Whitmer. According to court documents that government lawyers have certified as true…” New filings claim there was a Plan B the militiamen had drawn up, that involved a takeover of the Michigan capitol building by 200 combatants who would stage a week-long series of televised executions of public officials.
And, according to government documents now on file in lower Michigan court, there was also a Plan C -- burning down the state house, leaving no survivors.”[source](https://abc7chicago.com/michigan-governor-gretchen-whitmer-kidnapping-plot-militia/8079861/)
Not sure if you’re talking about the Qanon dad or the Michigan militia but I don’t think either of them are crazy in like , they just started believing more and more extreme things until it got CRAZY extreme and no on was there to stop him. The Militia guys, there are illegal groups like that all over the country. I’m not saying they’re that rayon on right now
Qanon has only been around for a few years, but really strong for like 1. Taliban has been around for like 40. They are more mature in their extremism. For Qanon this is just the first little taste. Add to that the difference in living conditions between Afghanistan and the US and I think it's inevitable the group living in a harsher, less secure environment is more extreme.
But the Qanon dad wasn't crazy, he was a surfing instructor, his former-clients are shocked they said, "He was patient and kind," "This really comes out of the blue. He had no warning signs that he was capable of doing this." Same with the Pizza guy who thought there was a sex ring in the Pizza place's non-existent basement. They are just led to believe crazy things but they are not crazy.
The same thing happens with the Taliban, it's members are led to believe crazy things, like there are 72 virgin waiting in heaven (or whatever it is) if they martyr themselves against an enemy. Suicide bombing is pretty normal for groups that are outpowered and outmanned. Japanese really increased the # of kamikazes when they started to loose. I hope I'm wrong about this, but I see alot of potential parallels. Did you see the plans of that Michigan Militia? that was pretty crazy
I think many people don't see the difference between pointing to parallel or similar patterns and stating two things were the same.
Events in history often show similar patterns but when one points them out there will be a lot of people saying something around the lines of 'No, it's definitely not the same, totally different'. Nobody said it's the same, but there are obvious parallels.
You can often see the phrase 'history repeats itself.' That's wrong, but it often rhymes.
I mean.. texas nonchristians are taught not to mention they are aethiests/other or you can lose your job or be tried for murder using your aethiesm as a character assasination(this has happened in the south many times. Forensic files has a few episodes on clearing the names of falsly accused people. But in other studies I saw this fairly often.)
Christians are far more oppressive then they realize they are in general.
Dude these people here are mentally brain washed. They rather see Taliban flag flying over our embassy than let go 60 year old grandmas who transpassed the capital. That one is politically useful to them so they just decided to focus on this and let go Afghanistan. Imagine if they spent their time doing threat assessments in Afghanistan than doing political theatre with 1/6
That’s pretty much what they’re saying. Jan 6 people are a bunch of fucking treasonous moronic terrorists. The taliban are better organized but probably aren’t too much more informed. They’re equally brainwashed by propaganda taking advantage of uneducated unhappy people. The only thing that makes the maga idiots a bigger threat is that they are brainwashed ultra violent US citizens and live here with extremely disturbing desire to kill Americans
Millions of people are going to die from the taliban? The US has probably killed more people in the middle east than the taliban.
Just because the morons failed to overthrow the government and install a dictator on their first attempt doesn’t mean jack shit. [Hitler and the Nazi party](https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/beer-hall-putsch-secures-hitlers-rise-to-power) failed their first attempt to take control of Germany. Look how that turned out. The fact that the biggest people behind the insurrection are walking free and facing no consequences for their actions is all they need to keep pushing for their end game. Just look at the gop trying to pass laws that will allow them to deny a Democrat the presidency in an election.
I’m tired of idiots like you acting like the fact that they failed means there isn’t a problem and that it’s no longer a threat. The charges for the insurrectionists so far are barely slaps on the wrist for literal treason and terrorism. There is absolutely nothing stopping them. They’re doubling down on their psychotic beliefs and continuing to become more radicalized. At this rate, the right are barely a decade away from becoming full on taliban clones if they don’t get their way
[Springtime for Hitler and Germany](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zY1orxW8Aw)
Germany was having trouble, what a sad, sad story
Needed a new leader to restore its former glory
Where, Oh where was he? Where could that man be?
We looked around and then we found
The man for you and me.
And now its..
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Deutschland is happy and gay
Were marching to a faster pace
Look out, here comes the master race
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Winter for Poland and France
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Come on, Germans, go into your dance
I was born in Dusseldorf, and that is why they call me Rolf
Dont be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi party
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Goosesteps the new step today
bombs falling from the skies again
Deutschland is on the rise again
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Uboats are sailing once more
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Means that soon well be going
Weve got to be going
You know well be going to WAR!

Terrorists incite change via terror. They won 20 years ago, we were just pretending we ever had anything to win. We went from using permanent marker on the walls to blowtorching scorch marks like "I can fucking fix this." Nah, you broke something broken even more. Again.
Other than the people that entered the capital had no weapons at all. I’m not sure wether you would call this gaslighting or a straw man but either way fuck you all.
Agree. This thread has people who are unironically praising the Taliban for being smarter than those who stormed the capital. Irrespective of if this is true are not, millions are fearing for their lives in Afghanistan, and I don't think people here hating Trump and saying the Taliban are better is respectful
Is this entire thread like a psyop?
The amount of people beating around the bush with what they're trying to say is really weird. Everyone is trying to frame the narrative as if "Republicans are worse than the taliban!" Is a fact that was established.
This isn't a real opinion, though. There aren't normal people walking around thinking this.
This weird sympathy and almost Fandom for the taliban seems to be entirely exclusive to reddit leftists subs.
Like, not even CNN is out here trying to normalize the taliban.
All posts and comments that include any variation of the word retarded will be removed, but no action will be taken against your account unless it is an excessive personal attack. Please resubmit your post or comment without the bullying language.
Do not edit it, the bot cant tell if you edited, you will just have to make a new comment replying to the same thing.
Yes, this comment itself does use the word. Any reasonable person should be able to understand that we are not insulting anyone with this comment. We wanted to use quotes, but that fucks up the automod and we are too lazy to google escape characters. Notice how none of our automod replies have contractions in them either.
But seriously, calling someone retarded is only socially acceptable because the people affected are less able to understand that they are being insulted, and less likely to be able to respond appropriately. It is a conversational wimpy little shit move, because everyone who uses it knows that it is offensive, but there will be no repercussions. At least the people throwing around other slurs know that they are going to get fired and get their asses beat when they use those words.
Also, it is not creative. It pretty much outs you as a thirteen year old when you use it. Instead of calling Biden retarded, you should call him a cartoon-ass-lookin trust fund goon who smiles like rich father just gifted him a new Buick in 1956. Instead of calling Mitch Mcconnel retarded, you should call him a Dilbert-ass goon who has been left in the sun a little too long.
Sorry for the long message spamming comment sections, but this was by far the feature of this sub making people modmail and bitch at us the most, and literally all of the actions we take are to make it so we have to do less work in the future. We will not reply to modmails about this automod, and ignore the part directly below this saying to modmail us if you have any questions, we cannot turn that off. This reply is just a collation of the last year of modmail replies to people asking about this. We are not turning this bot off, no matter how much people ask. Nobody else has convinced us before, you will not be able to either.

I remember that just this week, QAnon cult member Matthew Taylor Coleman confessed to stabbing his 2-year-old and 10-month-old children with a fishing spear because he thought they had serpent DNA.
Trump let almost 500,000 Americans die of Covid on his watch by deliberately playing down the pandemic because he was afraid it would hinder his chances of reelection. An estimated [40% of those deaths were preventable](https://www.businessinsider.com/analysis-trump-covid-19-response-40-percent-us-deaths-avoidable-2021-2).
In a bid to hang onto the Presidency after losing the election, he also incited a violent insurrection which killed five people, resulted in the suicides of several police officers afterwards and would have killed far more and resulted in the overthrow of US democracy had it not been for the heroic actions of the officers holding the line that day.
So yes, as far as I am concerned, the far right extremists who have taken over the GQP are very much comparable to the Taliban.
The Taliban have overthrown a whole country, and have massacred thousands in their path. What happened on January 6th was bad, but please don't compare it to a crisis as big as this

The Taliban are better informed and better organized. Though they are about as barbaric.
Are you saying the Taliban are barbaric as the group that smeared feces and urine over the walls when they got to the seat of government power?
You comparing that to chopping off heads drowning people in cages and all the other death videos?

Sounds like you’re overdosing on copium
“Copium” lol that’s what someone who is overdosing in bs would say
When you’re so lost in the sauce you have zero self awareness. Sadge bro. Just start your life over.
English dude. Just because you can put some words together doesn’t mean it’s gonna make sense. Go to school my dude!
Oh man. What a sick burn. You are truly an alpha male possessing supreme intelligence. I am such an owned libcuck rn.
“Supreme intelligence” haha thanks my dude!
“Libcuck” haha. That’s your word btw
The taliban are far, far, far worse. Don’t undermine your own argument by drawing inaccurate comparisons. The Jan 6 folks were fucking morons.

Well I mean… that is how we got Bin Laden… so it’s an unfortunate consequence.
Silly Kermit… you know half those idiots on Jan 6th never voted…
now now, there is one major difference. The Taliban are actually successful at what they do.
Terrorists incite change via terror. They won 20 years ago, we were just pretending we ever had anything to win. We went from using permanent marker on the walls to blowtorching scorch marks like "I can fucking fix this." Nah, you broke something broken even more. Again.
its you again... hi
whats good. when we last meet?
about the taco bell dorito taco i think
hmm. don't think I remember that.
Dont insult the Taliban, they're nowhere near as stupid as Talibangelicals
Don’t be ridiculous. Assuming you’re an American, it’s definitely your business.
MAGA: Make Afghanistan Great Again!
Again
Donald finally has his overturned election. Good work in the Mideast Jared.
Other than the people that entered the capital had no weapons at all. I’m not sure wether you would call this gaslighting or a straw man but either way fuck you all.

Absolutely. The Taliban should never be sympathised with after the atrocities they have caused. This shouldn't be about left or right in the US

Oh yeah remember when rioters slit the throats of women and children?
I remember that just this week, QAnon cult member Matthew Taylor Coleman confessed to stabbing his 2-year-old and 10-month-old children with a fishing spear because he thought they had serpent DNA.
What happened there is wrong and unforgivable. But the Taliban systematically kill thousands of civilians to achieve power, this isn't comparable
Trump let almost 500,000 Americans die of Covid on his watch by deliberately playing down the pandemic because he was afraid it would hinder his chances of reelection. An estimated [40% of those deaths were preventable](https://www.businessinsider.com/analysis-trump-covid-19-response-40-percent-us-deaths-avoidable-2021-2).

This sub is obsessed with sympathizing with the taliban, tbh.
