The Taliban has quietly enacted a new penal code that allows husbands to physically punish their wives and children as long as it doesn’t cause broken bones or open wounds.

Sure, as if broken bones or open wounds would motivate an abused helpless victim to go against it or take legal actions. Which they aren’t allowed either.
I so hope religions with their hells are right, so these dimwitted pathetic slavers will rot there in all eternity. But…
You know, I respect people who use their religion as an impetus to make the world a better place. The civil rights fighters and humanitarian groups that are like, “Hey, our religion tells us that suffering is something we can prevent and alleviate, so we do it.” I like those religious people.
These are NOT those religious people. Therefore, fuck this interpretation of Islam a thousand ways, this is the 21st god damn century.
America: heavy breathing

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.

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.

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?
