Postmodern: American military brass spending all summer discussing "white rage," organizing Robin DiAngelo book clubs, and tweeting about "diversity and inclusion." Modern: Losing control of the territory, weapons, logistics, and exit routes in Afghanistan. An absolute tragedy.

Articulate the point

Maybe the point was clearly articulated and it’s about priorities?

Translated for Robby: The US forgot the purpose of the war and gradually succumbed to a postmodern fantasy, imagining that we could turn an illiterate tribal society into a progressive-democratic society, literally using strategies from a TED Talk.https://www.ted.com/talks/ashraf_ghani_how_to_rebuild_a_broken_state?language=en …

No one understands your point. The failed attempt of nation building has been a key element (and the primary purpose) in Afghanistan since day one. No amount of "but wokeism" can change that

Then what was your point? This follow up about the Ted talk doesn’t follow. If we agree with you about the “postmodern fantasy” of transforming Afghanistan, do you think that we should have left a long time ago? Do you think we should ever have invaded?

And complaining the amount spent on “gender programs”—you’re innumerate and sexist. $1B represents 0.04% of all the money the US spent there. And considering that supporting women’s rights was one of the main justification being there from the start, does that sound too much?
