Congratulations to the Taliban forces for winning the War on Terror
Firstly, I’d like to congratulate the Taliban forces for winning the War on Terror. In this age of hypocrisy and lie it seems quite reassuring that war works as good as ever and bullshitting people can only take you so far.
Now, I’m not saying the Talibans are pixie fairies that will make everything right and will lead Afghanistan towards a bright and perfect future but the Western Society has long lost its right to blame other nations on matters of human rights and equality.
I’ll start dismantling the western arguments one by one because I’m tired of every single living soul in Europe and the US act like we are oblivious to reality and, if there is one thing I really hate on this planet, then that surely is hypocrisy.
Let’s start with the initial argument that came to light after it was obvious to the whole planet that US, UK and other nations allied with them fled Afghanistan rendering all the BS we’ve heard on the subject over the last 20 years, useless.
That argument was “We won’t recognize the newly formed government”. Now I’m not sure if the Talibans rolled their eyes harder than me after hearing those words but what it is sure is nobody actually cared.
Next, I’ve heard the puppet string Afghan president, Ashraf Ghani courageously fled his presidential palace ( he sounds to be quite a man of the people ) in Kabul after the Taliban forces walked into the city. Again, no shocker.
But then, the “free” press started talking about all the poor women that got degrees and couldn’t use them now that Afghanistan was being taken over by the Talibans. At this point they got my full attention because I already smelled a rat, the stinky rat of capitalist hypocrisy.
It’s good that they were allowed to go to college ( online because an actual physical college would have been bombed down ) but has anyone stopped to think what would had they done with those degrees?
Afghanistan is a big pile of rumble after 20 years of war and they certainly wouldn’t have used those degrees in the Western World. I’m an economist and software developer with +10 years of experience and all the offers I’ve got from the US, UK and Germany were to work in agriculture or as a cab driver ( and I’m from Europe not Afghanistan, by the way ).
How many laminated paper cup pads do people actually need these days?
Then another offence to human character took place when UNICEF released a statement saying children were injured and killed by the recent conflicts. I always condemn aggression of any kind against children, but ignoring the children of Afghanistan for 20 years and acting concerned about them now, when Western troops have fled reeks of hypocrisy to me.
In March 2012, in Afghanistan, sixteen civilians were murdered ( including nine children ) and other six were wounded by United States Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales in the Panjwayi District of Kandahar Province [1] all while UNICEF were busy bragging about “Rapid progress in child survival” [2].
If that doesn’t turn your stomach inside out then this article isn’t for you. Go and ready how Messi is the greatest football player of all time.
It would be the sensible thing to just shut up, let the conflict unfold, and then give advice and try to support the children and women of Afghanistan, but the Western World can’t be sensible, we know that much by now.
All this hypocrisy will only make Afghan people to oppose the Taliban forces and be hurt by them or to flee to the Western Countries where they’ll just come face to face with racism and segregation.
Nobody wins in this scenario, but the USA and its lap dogs ( UK and Germany ) just can’t control themselves at this point, after decades of hypocrisy.
Life will be hard in Afghanistan for a long time, but it was hard for them to go through 20 years of constant war, threat and famine. Let’s not act like that country was a rosy nest of democracy just because US forces were there raping and murdering civilians and children.
Democracy, as the USA understand it ( capitalist democracy ) doesn’t work. That’s why countries like Hungary, Poland and soon-to-follow, Romania, will be heading into communism once again, because they have seen communism and have received the promises of democracy in the early 90s.
What they’ve got in exchange wasn’t democracy, but the American capitalist/fascist democracy that is actually just the communism of the 80s without stable jobs, cars and homes. People don’t want that.
Now before you start accusing me of being Russian or a Chinese sympathizer, I’ll try to kill that pointless discussion before it even starts. I’m from Romania, an EU country with poverty and crime ( ignored by the EU ), with a corrupt puppet string president ( applauded by the EU ), with abused and malnourished children ( ignored by UNICEF ).
All dumb comments will be deleted.
