this feels pathetic. just undignified somehow "hashtag human rights" stumbling back and forth across the sad line between bathos and pathos would have been better not to tweet at allhttps://twitter.com/USEmbassyKabul/status/1425722479503413248 …

its afghans taking back afghanistan and the people who collaborated with the last occupying army are being dealt with harshly weird how nobody was wringing hands about this when it happened in europe circa 1945/6 or afghanistan in the early 90s for that matter

Not really, the Taliban is deeply unpopular in most of afg, who view them as a foreign occupying army just as much as NATO is. Not that that's any of our businesses or that we should have been there in the first place, but no need to pretend they're the good guys

oh, i'm not making value judgements about them being good guys or not but they ARE afghani at least sucks that we spent 20 years forging them into an extremely capable army that other afghans now have to contend with there's some parallels to US domestic police here...

I mean, I get what you're saying, but "Afghani" isn't really a thing. It's all tribal.

Point of Order: "Afghani" is the name of the currency, it's not a demonym.

point of order: language is a constantly evolving framework for the communication of ideas, if you understood exactly what i meant it worked just fine

Problem is when you throw out "Afghani", it's a signal that you are really, really dumb about the country, and allowed me to instantly zeroize any point you might have to make.
