Imagine arming a bunch of religious reactionaries in Afghanistan, gloating when the USSR failed to stop them from consolidating power, ruining the lives of 100s of millions of people, having these same reactionaries kill your own citizens, and then ignoring all of this just to make this stupid meme.
[Trivial: Failure] Encyclopedia - Your mangled brain is unable to come up with a proper critique of this.
And which nation of imperialist cousin fuckers armed the Taliban?
What happened in Iran that made them change?
WHAT HAPPENED MOTHERFUCKER
* Afghanistan
Cringe on my part tbh but still works
I’m just so used to seeing this shit about Iran my brain short circuited
Pretty sure I’ve seen this picture ascribed to both countries.
If Trump is allowed to do Project 1984 then the only porn left will be feet pics and are you really going to pull your tired wiener to some nasty-ass soles?
I’m guessing that’s a picture of Afghan women in the 70’s in Kabul or another major city in Afghanistan and not a reflection of Afghan women in the sparser population areas
Coincidentally just as the CIA financed, trained and armed opium warlords and religious zealots to recruit personal armies and set them to burn down thousands of schools all of the country teaching girls in an attempt to eradicate the nascent communist movement and pull their neighbors, the soviet republics, into an unwinnable war of attrition.
yeah but that was back then and also that’s uhh whataboutism I think
whataboutism 
Afghanistan wasn’t even really pro-USSR, they were just neutral in the cold war and that was enough for the US to start weekly deliveries of grenade launchers to what we now know as Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

What’s the connection between the top text and bottom text?
Just taking two completely unrelated points and throwing them together.
They’re saying that Project 2025 will enforce conservative patriarchal dress for women. Like saying, “You don’t think it can happen here? Well it happened to them.”
That’s right! If America has a government it will destroy the rights of women around the world!
Isn’t that image very much NOT of women in Afghanistan? Some other country, as I recall, but could be confusing it with another similar picture.
Maybe, but Afghanistan was a very different place in the 60s and 70s. If your argument is ‘that picture isn’t technically correct’ I think you’re missing the point
Not arguing, just trying to remember if I’ve seen it anywhere before
They use a similar picture (maybe even the same picture) to make the same argument about Iran before 1979
There you go, that’s what I was thinking of!
The republicans are just about to turn into the Taliban, forcing a dystopian theocratic hellscape on you and stripping you of all your rights.
What should you do about it? Well, obviously you should vote for the people who wants a strong republican party and want to put republicans in their cabinet so they can get “good ideas” from them.
These people are not going to do anything to stop the republicans or to break their institutional power out to handle the socio-economic ills driving support for the republicans. But somehow voting for them is all you have to do to stop the republican Taliban.
I’ve used this argument on my lib friends plenty of times.
You bait them with “Trump is an evil christofascist, right?” or something of that sort, then follow it up with
They usually just get really dismissive and holier than thou but it’s still fun.
Nah they have been doing this since 2015
I hate this shit. Like yeah, this might be a picture of three specific woman living in capital. It’s in no way representative. Also, NATO deliberately instigated a war in Afghanistan that lead to the current government so like idk what point they think they’re making.
Afghanis aren’t Arabs tho
whaaaaaa?
