Unfortunate that does include dev of lemmy too.

Most lemmy users aren’t supportive to Taliban I believe, but some are. Question was about your opinion of those who support the Taliban.
Yes, but you will anyway jump to their defense. https://lemmy.ml/post/77978/comment/73363

You must take a look at the context this reply was made. It is a reply to “taliban is still no emancipatory movement”
lemmy devs argues that stating that Taliban is not an emacipatory movement is “setting a pretty high bar”.
Taliban is still no emancipatory movement! and that’s not setting any bar to high or something. Taliban is ultra-right theocracy. He is downplaying the horrors Talibans are doing.
He also argues that, “Before there can be emancipation, they need peace”, and in the current situation, that means that in order to reach emancipation, women must obey to Taliban rules.

Totally supporting the Taliban, it’s not like they are just showing a little bit of empathy towards a third world country that’s been massacred for the last 30 years in the name of democracy.

No, what he is saying is that the Afghan people have been murdered for three decades, forcing almost everyone to live in a rural society after the US funded terrorist militias to destroy any semblance of a left leaning party. What do you expect of a country like that? The chance of any other option than US colony or Afghanistan under Taliban rule is pretty niche, and even then chances are that it will be far easier for Afghan people to overthrow or change the Taliban for some other party, rather than the fucking biggest military contractor firm that is the US.
Imagine being a women in Afghanistan right now. You can celebrate that the US is loosing and leaving Afghanistan and you still want to organize for emancipation and against the Taliban. That is not a contradiction as you make it sound.
You make it sound as being against the imperialism of the US, makes it in this situation not feasible to be against far-right theocracy.
