Man, I love how anticommunists can blame everything but their most mundane problems on phenomena that they claimed to have conquered decades ago. Yestermonth I saw somebody blame Poland’s current dilapidation on communism, and a few years before that I could have sworn that I saw somebody on Reddit’s r/libertarian blame Somalia’s current situation on communism, too. What about eastern Germany? Can they blame all of its current problems on us in spite of reunification? How about South Korea, which was briefly part of the People’s Republic of Korea in 1945? Hell, why not go all the way and blame all of Finland’s problems today on the FSWR all the way back from 1918? I mean, at this point, why the hell not? What’s stopping them? Try it!

30 years of “superior” system and still not fixed smh.
But seriously, what they actually meant is that despite socialism in Poland is dead since 33 years and we could also argue that dangerous trend begun in 1956 when nationalist revisionists taken the power, in polish political discourse every rightwing party (meaning every functioning party) is calling every other party “socialist” and “communist”. Well maybe except succdems, they are too busy apologising that they are even alive to accuse anyone of anything.
Pretty sure all they do indeed do all of those you’ve listed and then some
I will be the first to absolutely despise the taliban and what they have done over the last 40 years, but i fucking hate the phrase “educated and free thinking”, as it really is a one way trip to “the colonialists freed them” or “the colonialists educated them”… which is exactly what they want to do, I guess. colonize them
also, of course, the US bears a lion’s share of the blame for the current situation in afghanistan, but it’s been an overall really weird situation - even China supported the mujahideen back in the day. would be cool if it were still communist, as it was up until 1992 :/
Liberal hawks going “The Taliban is anti-LGBT and misogynistic, that’s why we should bomb them back to the stone age and install a colonial government!”
Obviously they should be ruthlessly criticized for their awful ideas. It’s up to our comrades and feminists in Afghanistan to revolt against the current order rather than imperial subjugation for sure. The “white man’s burden” still thrives to this day.
I’ve seen capitalist bootlickers try to blame the Soviet Union for the Taliban existing.
Well see if the eebill USSR hadn’t been mucking about in Afghanistan, we wholesome Amerikkkan imperialists wouldn’t have had to fund the Mujahideen freedom fighters! And they’re the ones who mostly became the Taliban! So it really is all the commies fault sweaty!
/s
“Nevermind that we were interfering in Arabian countries before the Soviets even existed!”
I’m not convinced the average Afghan doesn’t support the Taliban
I wonder why…
The Taliban freed Afghanistan from US occupation. Why wouldn’t the Afghanis support them en masse?
The last type of people I want to liberate my country from the US are reactionary fascists.
‘‘Free thinkers’’=Westoid boot and ass lickers
That’s what that term means to them.

Use Firefox/Mull with uBlock Origin instead of Brave.
Why not use Brave? I have a friend who’s been trying to get me to switch from Firefox to Brave for forever.
Its possible he benefits from the BAT system. BAT is Brave Attention Token, a form of crypto exclusive and locked into Brave. Its like a little crypto mining scam.
Brave Browser is funded by DoD: https://np.reddit.com/r/privatelife/comments/fe34ls/exclusive_brave_browser_funded_by_dod_contractor/
Brave traffic detected with Cryptocompare despite BAT rewards disabled: https://unddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/gr8nue/ (removeddit no longer works, use unddit)
Brave also has a known history of whitelisting Facebook and Twitter trackers, and has a crippled adblocker that does not work on Brave’s “acceptable” advertisements.
Brave Browser hardcoded their crypto partner Binance referral links (https://twitter.com/cryptonator1337/status/1269201480105578496) alongwith Ledger and soon-to-be-compromised Coinbase (https://decrypt.co/31461/coinbase-wants-to-identify-bitcoin-users-for-dea-irs)
Also some new stuff you might want to check.
Yikes I wish I knew all of this, now I gotta change browsers and move all my bookmarks again 🙄
Do it like this, Firefox (or fork) as main browser, and Ungoogled Chromium as secondary browser in case of 0.01% websites that do not work with Firefox.
Thanks for the detailed answer! I’ll tell my friend to get off Brave.
The Soviets helped to build the DRA’s infrastructure and political systems while the Americans were funding terrorists, yet the Soviets are to blame for Afghanistan’s current problems?
