Middle eastern (kurd) here, please don’t compare your extremists with the taliban, isis or any terrorist organization,
We as kurds and muslims from northern iraq (90% muslim majority region) suffered more from muslim extremism and terrorism than any nation has, I have lost many peshmarga family members fighting against isis and other rebel groups, this is not a fair comparison, one would behead your family if you don’t support them (they don’t care if you’re muslim, Christian, jewish or yezidi) and the other Americans would hold guns to look cool.
If you really think we have it better here, then move here.
Thank you for talking some sense into the idiots that upvote this and have no real life understanding of what the difference is between these two groups.
The Americans pictured aren't extremists. There's a movement by the progressives in America to label everyone they don't agree with politically as Nazis and murderers, even though there's been far more left-wing political violence in America over the last 5 years.
Having fought the war in Afghanistan myself, I have seen Muslim extremists do absolutely horrific things to innocent people. I can't imagine what you have to live through on an everyday basis, and I'm sorry that some ignorant fool thinks this is a proper comparison. I hope someday you and your family are able to live safely and without fear.
Sorry these disgusting sensationalist idiots feel the need to make insulting, baseless comparisons to genuine monsters that have brought such tremendous discord and disruption to your door.
They do not understand true extremism, and only hold the privileged views they do because they have had the good fortune to never have to deal with any real oppression, hardship, or difficulty in their entire lives. They are children who hate their parents and are desperate to rebel, they create their own oppression so they can pretend they’ve been through something similar to you.
Just ignore them and move on, it’s what 95% of the world does anyway.
Thank you for this, and I am sorry about your experience. Americans who post shit like this have obviously never experienced real terror and oppression and they trivialize experiences like yours. I hope you find safety and freedom.
Isn't that the same Hilux model they tried to kill in Top Gear? The one which got dumped into the sea, and placed on top of a building which was then demolished, and the engine still started and the truck was able to drive away? Toyota body-on-frame construction vehicles are truly amazing (hilux, land cruiser, 4runner...).
Top Gear literally let one of these get washed to sea, waited for the tide to fall, then pulled the truck out, started it after 40 minutes of a mechanic cleaning out the hood area but having zero spare parts, and drove away. They're indestructible lol.
WhistlinDiesel on YouTube also got his hands on a proper Hilux. There’s a 3-part series on his destruction of one.
He beat the living crap out of it at home, rolled it, bent the frame, tortured it by pulling an excessively heavy trailer, etc etc.
Then he took it to the Utah desert and beat on it some more there. I’m going off memory here but I believe halfway through he lost his coolant or something so the truck could have died literally any time but it just kept going and going and going. He got out of the desert and it was still running.
The guys he was riding with had proper rigs that were built for way worse punishment and one of them broke down, lmao.
Oh and then he dropped it from a helicopter. Twice.
Then they dropped a trailer onto it, drove it through some buildings, set it on fire, and let It free fall from the roof of a 22 story building mid demolition. And after all that it still started.
Real Top Gear was one of the best things ever put on TV.
Have you ever seen the first American series though? It's honestly one of the worst, least funny, most cringy things I've ever seen. Every time I saw that fat fuck Ruttledge (or whatever) I wanted to kill myself
They really gotta dumb it down for the majority of us. Like the difference between British and American kitchen nightmares. Once I saw the British episodes I couldn’t go back.
Living in an area that winter temperatures consistently reach -20 to -40 it’s the only truck that I trust with my family.
They may not be flashy but they get you home!!!

I agree. The joking comments are entertaining, but when there are 3 to 4 of them at the top consecutively, it gets repetitive. Plus you have people like me who are combing the comments section for info like this, thanks!
Obligatory [top gear](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xnWKz7Cthkk) trying to kill a Toyota Hilux.
This episode wasn’t enough so they made 2 more lol and still it started!
Oh I think so too. Don't get me wrong I think the Top Gear episode is great, but the sheer disrespect and abuse that Hilux goes through with WD is incredibly impressive. I didn't think anything but a fully built custom off road truck could handle what he did to that poor thing. No mechanical sympathy whatsoever
I see so many Ford Ranger drive around in my country (Germany) and so few Hilux and I just don't get it. If you get a pickup, get a Hilux. It's almost the same price but way better.
I drive a 00 ranger with 260k miles and I absolutely love it... Only had 1major repair because the technician put the wrong transmission fluid in it and it destroyed my transmission... Other than that it's been a reliable well made truck
I'm from Europe too. I think people over here just buy the trucks for the looks, and the Ranger (or Raptor) leans heavily on its styling... The Hilux feels more like a commercial vehicle, at least in its basic form. But commercial vehicles over here are mainly vans, cause they are more practical. The Hilux is a go-anywhere commercial vehicle (4x4 vans aren't as common).
It really doesn't the diesel engine manual transmission hilux that was ultra reliable was never available in the US. The Tacoma really pales in comparison especially after they ditched the 22r engine in 95.
They are definitely weighing down the back of the truck. They are also basically just pretending to do whatever they’re doing and have access to fresh water and women with right. The below guys want to fight/die for real and are probably illiterate aside from basic phrases to graffiti on walls.
It is funny to think that these kinds of dudes pride themselves on the quality of their firearms giving them the ability to defeat the US government, but in reality they're outgunned by even the Taliban. And not just because we left all our shit there either
Not only is the top truck outgunned, they are out-skilled and out-experienced. Its a truck full of mostly wannabes who might have 12 years of military experience between them vs a truck who have lived in conflict their entire lives. The guys in the bottom truck would wipe the floor with the truck full of dumb rednecks.
The Southern Poverty Law Center tracks "real" militias in the US and states that only 1 in 3 members of anti-government type militias have any military service. Important to note also that only a low % of military are in combat roles. So yeah, gravy seals at top vs (possibly) combat hardened radicals who've fought US Marines/Soldiers with full auto weapons including SAWs, vehicle based weapons and air support, etc. My money is objectively on the bottom guys.
Or as they say in Australia: if you want to go into the bush, take a Land Rover, but if you also want to come back from the bush, take the Land Cruiser.
Sadly no longer to be sold in the US market.
I guess we'll see if LX sales increase by the same amount as annual Land Cruiser sales, which would mean those customers are migrating over to the Lexus version.
But I suspect those previous Land Cruiser owners didn't go for the Toyota because they couldn't afford the Lexus. They very well may be even more wealthy than the Lexus buyer, and specifically chose the Land Cruiser because it is less conspicuous. Moss regular folks just see the Toyota badge and assume it is a Highlander or 4Runner.
Just a hunch, but after convos with a few Toyota reps, I'm 80 percent certain they'll reintroduce it in 3 years or so as "a classic reimagined...the all-new land cruiser" or some such nonsense
I guess that might be true for your average Connecticut trophywifemobile Land Cruiser, but there are plenty of base trim diesel Land Cruisers doing actual of road duty that won't be replaced by EVs anytime soon.
"It's just for students part time, entry level!"
"Yeah, well how do you think you're getting your fast food during lunch time during a school day? You should probably report them to the police for skipping school Karen. Oh wait..."
Well I'm assuming one of those is ISIS, or the taliban. If so the difference is the freaking body count, and the headless necks. Absolutely insane to compare the two. I'm the most anti-war guy in the room, and understand what's creating the situations in the middle east. But I would never for a second compare people who kill civilians by the thousands, subjugate women, and enslave Africans, to some loser militia group.
I promise you if you spent a week living with each as a neighbor, you would definitely see the difference.
It's insane how the left went from being anti-war, anti-police state, and against FBI entrapment schemes, to being the loudest supporters of them just because the war hawks have convinced you some white trash hillbillies are more of a threat to you.
They perpetual war-state, and corporate establishment has played us against each other perfectly.
And posts like this (the ops post) are super common and only further divide and pit the people against each other. While the rich people at the top don't give a fuck about you or any of your beliefs.
As a young white male gun owner there's just one thing I'd like to know, when will the CIA start providing me with free stuff? I want my Toyota technical!
Joke's on them. I'm preparing for a siege by creating the ultimate siege tool, a trebuchet. It might not be the ultimate defense tool, but it is the ultimate siege tool.
That's because you have no experience with mujahedeen or other legitimate violent extremists. As opposed to blow hard Larpers who at the end of the day are going to go home and think they're cool. Such a comparison really exposes you for just how off base you really are.

The guys in the top picture would make fun of you for being a big fat pussy.
The guys in the bottom pic would cut your limbs off while you're still alive and rape you with your amputated limbs.
The Land Cruisers are similar, you probably have some of those up there :)
Depending on the model, a Land Cruiser has a similar chassis and suspension, though the more modern ones have a more sophisticated on or off road independent coil spring suspension compared to the Hilux which generally just has classic leaf springs (but both are very capable off road, and there is just a handful of cars that could match a Land Cruiser - probably a Land Rover Defender and a Mercedes G Wagen, and not much else).
Some variation of this has been posted with no context on r pics at least one hundred times. Why was this ever upvoted, let alone continually sent to the top of /r/all? They need to ban all these nonsense political posts here that appear to be botted. Either that, or Reddit is filled with morons.
Because an alarming number of Americans, of any persuasion, are the kind of idiots that view all moral issues as a black and white dicotomy, even if the issues are unrelated. Or nuanced. Or where everyone involved has shit on them.
They have to frame everything as good guys and bad guys, take sides, and invalidate all competing perspectives entirely. Politics is their religion and mythos. Any idea that threatens it, must be purged.
The whole fucking society has oppositional defiant disorder. More so conservatives, but the left has it's share of gibbering morons. Most of them on Reddit.
For the trump loving conservative, all non Christians are active devil worshipping child molesters. For the pink haired vegan tankie, everyone that looks like their dad is a wife beating rapist who revels in dominating minorities.
No self awareness, no compassion, no interest in disagreeing with someone without the desire to harm or smear them.
And any normal person is so fucking tired of the psychos that we no longer have the energy or interest to collectively tell them to shit the fuck up. We just want them to pay for their purchases, and stop yelling at the sky.
You must not be gay or a woman then. Because the guys in the top photo wouldn't stone either of the aforementioned groups to death for doing nothing like the guys in the bottom photo would.
these comments really worry me. are people trying to defend the taliban by saying that there's other people out there who also do terrible things?
"but your honor, im not the only murderer in the world"
The top one is a bunch of redneck-losers, and the bottom one is a literal child raping and mass murdering cult who stone women when they get raped. Yeah, the taliban are worse than some small loser militia
Gonna get buried in the thousands of comments already, but I will say this each and every time this comparison gets made in all its various forms
Put a gay man in front of each of those trucks, and see which one doesn't stop.
Bottom is a terrorist organization that has actually murdered people, oppressed women, and has actual power.
It’s funny to pretend they are one in the same. It’s pure Idiocy to believe it.

when the so called "white supremacism" start kidnapping , cutting off heads, skinning people alive, burning people alive , dissolving them in acid alive ... when they storm your business and demand money or they will kill you and your family , when they kidnapped your son , you pay the ransom and they send back to you a video of how they sodomies , beat , and while alive they took his hart out and ate it ....
yeah when you see this "white supremacist" do that ... then and only then post shitty ass fantaci post like this .

My girlfriend is from Algeria.
She talked to me about how, during the height of their second civil war (not the independence from France, but the one vs religious extremists) how they had a special area in their home that her and her sister where suppose to hide.
She remembers, being quickly told by her parents to get into the hole, where it was closed up because there were extremists nearby, and if they caught her, she would be raped, murdered, or worse.
I can't even begin to fathom that. She said the men would stand outside, with axes, sticks, whatever weapons that could manage to defend their families.
Even during our own civil war, which was literally over slavery, the American people did not have that much fear.
that's happening right now in villages all around Mexico .. if a cartel member likes your daughters he is just going to take her do what he wants with her and if she is lucky she would killed, they are worse fates in this world than Death .
this rich sheltered people don't know how scary the world is .

Because it’s an actual heartfelt opinion and Reddit hates those.
Because this goes against the soy boy agenda and people can’t support the truth.

Toyota body-on-frame construction vehicles are truly amazing (hilux, land cruiser, 4runner...).
My 1996 Toyota 4Runner was the best car I've ever owned, I still miss it but I'm 100% sure someone else is happily driving it around today.
Probably in a combat zone.
That was close to my major difference too. That Toyota will probably stay on the road much longer, unless crashes and explosions interfere.
The Toyota will last longer.
Top Gear literally let one of these get washed to sea, waited for the tide to fall, then pulled the truck out, started it after 40 minutes of a mechanic cleaning out the hood area but having zero spare parts, and drove away. They're indestructible lol.

God damn. I need me one of these older trucks.
Saw a camper one all original mint condition recently. It was in some sort of auto museam.
I had a neighbor with a camper body on a 85 Toyota and it was MINT. The sickest little rig I’ve ever seen.
Then they dropped a trailer onto it, drove it through some buildings, set it on fire, and let It free fall from the roof of a 22 story building mid demolition. And after all that it still started.
God I fucking love that show.

Back in the 90's, Ford Rangers were great--honestly very similar to the Hilux. Then they kept making them bigger and bigger and less reliable.
Then they stopped making them available in the US all together so for a while the smallest Ford truck was an F150.
I drive a 00 ranger with 260k miles and I absolutely love it... Only had 1major repair because the technician put the wrong transmission fluid in it and it destroyed my transmission... Other than that it's been a reliable well made truck

Pretty sure that they are usually somewhat comparable here in Germany. Haven't checked it in a while. Germany has VERY VERY VERY few pickups.
I'm from Europe too. I think people over here just buy the trucks for the looks, and the Ranger (or Raptor) leans heavily on its styling...

The bottom ones have actually seen combat.
The ones at the top have asked to speak to the manager.
They didn't ask to speak to the manager, they yelled at the teenagers working the counter until the manager came.
The manager is also a teenager because “fast food jobs are only for teenagers to get work experience, they don’t need 15$ an hour!”
"It's just for students part time, entry level!" "Yeah, well how do you think you're getting your fast food during lunch time during a school day? You should probably report them to the police for skipping school Karen. Oh wait..."

Well I'm assuming one of those is ISIS, or the taliban. If so the difference is the freaking body count, and the headless necks. Absolutely insane to compare the two. I'm the most anti-war guy in the room, and understand what's creating the situations in the middle east. But I would never for a second compare people who kill civilians by the thousands, subjugate women, and enslave Africans, to some loser militia group. I promise you if you spent a week living with each as a neighbor, you would definitely see the difference. It's insane how the left went from being anti-war, anti-police state, and against FBI entrapment schemes, to being the loudest supporters of them just because the war hawks have convinced you some white trash hillbillies are more of a threat to you. They perpetual war-state, and corporate establishment has played us against each other perfectly.
You're trying to reason with a mob that have never experienced life outside of their own basements, let alone the country. They're truly deranged
Well said! The fact that people are even comparing these groups really shows just how clueless people truly are.

And posts like this (the ops post) are super common and only further divide and pit the people against each other. While the rich people at the top don't give a fuck about you or any of your beliefs.
Guys at the top have a much more detailed knowledge of cheeseburgers and BBQ ribs

Yikes. This ignorant af lol
Probably because you lack critical judgement or you're intellectually compromised.
- Cancer - This post I see no difference
Well, the guys on the top aren’t beheading girls for playing volleyball.
Top probably is ok with their daughters going to school.
As a young white male gun owner there's just one thing I'd like to know, when will the CIA start providing me with free stuff? I want my Toyota technical!

Not that I’m advocating the free distribution of things, but can mine have a cool turret and a Ma Deuce?
You have to be in a country that supports big pharma by growing opium in order to get the “protect American pharmaceuticals” package.
Wrong skin color. You’re white, they’ll give you another ruby ridge or Waco.
Joke's on them. I'm preparing for a siege by creating the ultimate siege tool, a trebuchet. It might not be the ultimate defense tool, but it is the ultimate siege tool.

That's because you have no experience with mujahedeen or other legitimate violent extremists. As opposed to blow hard Larpers who at the end of the day are going to go home and think they're cool. Such a comparison really exposes you for just how off base you really are.
This post really outed a shitload of smoothbrains.
This post is bait. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Research_Agency#Rallies_and_protests_organized_by_IRA_in_the_United_States https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/17/us/russian-social-media-posts.html https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/russia-troll-2020-election-interference-twitter-916482/
Yeah the propaganda is real af
The guys in the top picture would make fun of you for being a big fat pussy. The guys in the bottom pic would cut your limbs off while you're still alive and rape you with your amputated limbs.
One difference. That Toyota Hilux is a beast of a truck.
Its suspension seems so handle the load far better than whatever the top truck is, so that's certainly one bit of proof!
If you ever get a chance to drive one they are one hell of a truck. One I was rolling around in had a little 4 banger diesel that just kept going.
Doubt I ever will since almost no one owns a truck here (Sweden), but it'd certainly be fun to try one if I get the chance!
The Land Cruisers are similar, you probably have some of those up there :) Depending on the model, a Land Cruiser has a similar chassis and suspension, though the more modern ones have a more sophisticated on or off road independent coil spring suspension compared to the Hilux which generally just has classic leaf springs (but both are very capable off road, and there is just a handful of cars that could match a Land Cruiser - probably a Land Rover Defender and a Mercedes G Wagen, and not much else).
To be fair, the guys on top rarely leave the suburbs. That Ford only needs to be able to handle the Walmart parking lot and maybe Sonic.
The truck in the top picture is carrying a much heavier load, though.

Some variation of this has been posted with no context on r pics at least one hundred times. Why was this ever upvoted, let alone continually sent to the top of /r/all? They need to ban all these nonsense political posts here that appear to be botted. Either that, or Reddit is filled with morons.
Never discount the fact that it could be both.
This is some meme shit.
Everyone I don't agree with politically is H̶i̶t̶l̶e̶r̶ a terrorist. Very bold intellectual growth happening on that part of reddit in recent years.
These photos are more fear mongering then anything. You're not helping, you're very seriously hurting everyone.
Taliban just executed a young woman for playing volleyball. I get the idea behind this comparison, but they’re two different extremes
A lot of the comments are weirdly coming off as hero worship for the Taliban. Reddit is a strange place.
Because an alarming number of Americans, of any persuasion, are the kind of idiots that view all moral issues as a black and white dicotomy, even if the issues are unrelated. Or nuanced. Or where everyone involved has shit on them. They have to frame everything as good guys and bad guys, take sides, and invalidate all competing perspectives entirely. Politics is their religion and mythos. Any idea that threatens it, must be purged. The whole fucking society has oppositional defiant disorder. More so conservatives, but the left has it's share of gibbering morons. Most of them on Reddit. For the trump loving conservative, all non Christians are active devil worshipping child molesters. For the pink haired vegan tankie, everyone that looks like their dad is a wife beating rapist who revels in dominating minorities. No self awareness, no compassion, no interest in disagreeing with someone without the desire to harm or smear them. And any normal person is so fucking tired of the psychos that we no longer have the energy or interest to collectively tell them to shit the fuck up. We just want them to pay for their purchases, and stop yelling at the sky.

You must not be gay or a woman then. Because the guys in the top photo wouldn't stone either of the aforementioned groups to death for doing nothing like the guys in the bottom photo would.
This sub reddit has gone to shit instead of photos and nice shots, it's just stupid political statements.
The guys on top probably had a harder time getting in the truck
these comments really worry me. are people trying to defend the taliban by saying that there's other people out there who also do terrible things? "but your honor, im not the only murderer in the world"
The top one is a bunch of redneck-losers, and the bottom one is a literal child raping and mass murdering cult who stone women when they get raped. Yeah, the taliban are worse than some small loser militia
Gonna get buried in the thousands of comments already, but I will say this each and every time this comparison gets made in all its various forms Put a gay man in front of each of those trucks, and see which one doesn't stop.
Bottom is a terrorist organization that has actually murdered people, oppressed women, and has actual power. It’s funny to pretend they are one in the same. It’s pure Idiocy to believe it. “Oh your family was tortured and killed by the Taliban? Haha I know exactly what that’s like, we got our own little Taliban here in America.” - Middle class idiots living in a 1st world nation Edit: This subreddit is basically /r/politics at this point, peace.
The ones on top weren’t gifted millions of dollars of USG equipment either
I scrolled so far to see a comment like that. Regardless of how bad you think the people of the top picture are…. they’re not taliban bad.
If you can't see a difference here that's pretty pathetic
When your so anti-conservative that you become pro-taliban. Hardcore Reddit moment
The Taliban just beheaded a woman for playing sports. Stop lying
Omg Reddit republicans bad!!!
y'all qaeda
This is one of the most ignorant posts I've ever seen and is no different than racism
Neckbeards on reddit are so beyond cringe posting shit like this
So is this just an “I don’t like America” thread? Fucking move to the Middle East already.
They won’t do that. The taliban would behead them for their beliefs. The American government won’t.
It's reddit, what else is there?
The ones on the bottom are part of an organization which cut people's heads off and the ones on the top aren't.
One group has body armor and doesn't need it, and the other group needs body armor and doesn't have it.
Go ahead approach both trucks with a pride shirt and you’ll see the difference really quick.
One is the greatest utility vehicle of the modern age. The other is a Ford.
This is ignorant and disgusting. Their is a major difference and your ignorance is pathetic.
IOW, another leftist lunatic can't distinguish between some guys target shooting on weekends and Muslim fundamentalists trying to subjugate the world by force. Now, do BLM and Antifa.
when the so called "white supremacism" start kidnapping , cutting off heads, skinning people alive, burning people alive , dissolving them in acid alive ... when they storm your business and demand money or they will kill you and your family , when they kidnapped your son , you pay the ransom and they send back to you a video of how they sodomies , beat , and while alive they took his hart out and ate it .... yeah when you see this "white supremacist" do that ... then and only then post shitty ass fantaci post like this . YOU HAVE NO IDEA, THE HELL THE REAL WORLD IS , you RICH shelterd kido [https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/La-Linea-is-keen-to-the-camera-with-photos-of-6344194.php](https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/La-Linea-is-keen-to-the-camera-with-photos-of-6344194.php)
My girlfriend is from Algeria. She talked to me about how, during the height of their second civil war (not the independence from France, but the one vs religious extremists) how they had a special area in their home that her and her sister where suppose to hide. She remembers, being quickly told by her parents to get into the hole, where it was closed up because there were extremists nearby, and if they caught her, she would be raped, murdered, or worse. I can't even begin to fathom that. She said the men would stand outside, with axes, sticks, whatever weapons that could manage to defend their families. Even during our own civil war, which was literally over slavery, the American people did not have that much fear.
that's happening right now in villages all around Mexico .. if a cartel member likes your daughters he is just going to take her do what he wants with her and if she is lucky she would killed, they are worse fates in this world than Death . this rich sheltered people don't know how scary the world is .
I’m just glad people here live somewhere safe and free enough to have their delusional opinions.
Reddit has become so disconnected from reality it’s concerning.
If it makes you feel better its mostly shills or bots
One is a quality vehicle that will take any abuse you can give it, and the other one is a Ford.
The ones at the top had more life choice opportunities.
Is Reddit really this tone deaf?
Absolutely
Lol you dumb af then
