Disagreed. Modern talibans are a direct reaction to the invasion. Extremist ideologies tends to be more resilient against invasions, and after the invadors leave, that extremism turns inwards.
Comment on Afghanistan | Taliban new penal code legalizes domestic violence against women

I found it ironic when most screamed that “We shouldn’t have been there in the first place!” and “Finally the injustice is ending!”. It was very clear to me from the start that for a majority of the afghan people, life would get significantly worse under the Taliban. Was the invasion a sham? Yes. Did a lot of innocent people get killed? Also yes. But the invasion brought a significant liberation for women especially.

I hate the usa and their imperialism, but I do hate religions, and especially this “religion of peace” much more. So I’d agree. It was for the wrong reasons, but sure a dead Taliban is a good Taliban. These child fucking slavers need to be eradicated.
It’s 2026 goddammit and those pathetic losers still see women as an absolute property. One chromosome decides your fate…incredible. Let’s not even mention anything queer-ish.

And who is going to invade the USA for the same, above, reasons?

I hate the USA but last time I checked, women were not property by law and also are allowed to get educated. But if you see no difference, fine. You’re surely free to have an opinion.
