Remind me, who spent billions funding and training the Taliban?
Remind me, who spent billions funding and training the Taliban?
Pakistan?
Meanwhile the USA possibly spent almost a bil on training camps in Pakistan, and who knows how much on the Pakistani ISI.
I have this and OP’s saved on my phone next to each other.
The differences are the brand of truck they use, and that the Taliban actually seems to use the truckbed.
Lots of Christians believe that, come the end times, they will be bodily taken up into heaven. (That’s the reason for embalming, to preserve the body for judgement day.) Since, of course, they’ll take their trucks with 'em, they don’t use the bed now. It’d suck so much to spend eternity with scratched paint.
Ya’ll Qaeda
One difference is that the Taliban are arguably pro-immigration, as long as the immigrant is a muslim who does as they’re told.
GOP are also pro immigration so long as the immigrant is rich and white.
And does as they are told.
They are NOT pro gun, they are pro control. Guns are for the ruling class only.
Yes! I wish the left would wake up. Now is not the time to be disarming yourselves.
When the user said “they” it was in reference to the GOP.
Who? The republicans are firmly pro guns. If you’re american, just buy one.
Did you mean the Taliban being pro guns laws?
Republicans have and will pass laws that make it harder for nonwhites to obtain firearms, and they have raided and will raid nonwhites who stockpile firearms.
They are one and the same. Rightwinged extremism is just the same thing with different skins.
I did some research on the Heritage Foundation, which is who is really running the country right now. They’re the people behind Project 2025s. Their president is a member of Otis Dia A radical Catholic group.
In essence, our country is being run by a radical Catholic group… You’re on point.
Otis Dia A radical Catholic group.
Opus Dei?
😄
yep… self censor

Isn’t that ISIS, not the taliban?
You may be right about the pic, considering the seal on the flag.
You may?! this is like the terrorist group equivalence of racism.
There’s a lot of cross-pollination between Jihadist groups over symbolism, even accounting for the fact that they all draw on the same long-standing symbols of Islamic faith in general and (regardless of whether they’re Wahhabist or not) of Wahhabi revivalism from the 18th century. ISIS isn’t even the only group which uses the Seal of Muhammad on their black flag with Arabic lettering (which I can’t read, as a monoglot).
Y’all Qaida, or maybe the Yee Hawliban?
Just YeeHawd, a play on Jihad.
Yeah, but the Taliban are at least not so nationalistic that they can recognise the usefulness of the engineering chops of manufacturers like Toyota. Say what you want, 10 years from now those Toyota Tundras in the desert will still be running. It’s a crapshoot with the Ford F-150s.
Y’all-Qaida
And then somehow, we have the self described “model leftists” doing this:
Religious extremists gonna extreme religion.
Religions don’t spread by the quality of their truth, but rather the quality of their violence.
