Just made the mistake of reading comments under an Afghan famine post on reddit. In no way do I support the Taliban but according to Reddit just because they are the ruling party in Afghanistan sanctions and resulting famine are justified I guess.
You can have legitimate criticism of all parties involved (US/Western World, Taliban etc.) and still not want people to die of hunger. Even saw a person saying this is what you get when you let the Taliban take over in a day lmao. Everything is just a movie for them it seems.
Like, I genuinely don’t understand how something like communism can be seen as bad (it’s because of propaganda, I know). Even when I try to explain that I’m a communist to friends and family and whatever, people get anxious and stuff. And then claim it doesn’t work etc. And I think: even if this doesn’t work, would trying to bring a system that puts the 99,99% of people into power be a bad idea? It can’t be worse than having a select few make decisions for us which have proven to fuck us over numerous times.
It’s really repulsive to see indeed. Like, the Afghan people didn’t choose to have the Taliban take them over. In fact there’s still resistance groups fighting an ongoing war against the Taliban. But Amerikkkans being Amerikkkans only see these innocent people as NPCs in a game, not as actual humans.
