Tofay i learned that the existence of Women, Queer People and Non-whites is political.

Iraq was an absolute shit show and nowhere near as competently planned as the German Occupation.

Yeah, drawing up an entire rebuilding plan, funding years and years of developement in that country is definitely the same as throwing ones hands in the air and yelling "THE FREE MARKET WILL FIX ALL OF THIS" while disregarding any local democratic initiative. Torturing the civilian population, releasing the entire army on day one, thereby creating 400.000 armed and disappointed men.

Iraq did not fail because the Americans or the West couldnt. It just had no interest at that time.

Btw, the democratic tradition in Germany was barely 14 years old and was hated by more than 30% of its pre war population. We had just come out of commiting the worst genocide in history and most of us cheered for it.

I cant mention it enough: Under the american occupation, afghan women and minorities enjoyed more protection and participation than they ever had in the last 100 years. And as soon as the military presence went away, women were kicked out of public life and the Taliban started ethnically cleasing the Hezaras.

Thats not the morality police. Thats a regular old political assasination.

Morality Police tries to enforce "societal norms" such as the hijab and not showing public affection.

LuL, absolutely not more moderate. Saudi arabian morality police hasnt beaten someone to death in the last years, as far as i am aware. I did not knkw the Taliban called their force by the same name.

edit: You guys understand the difference between morality police and normal police right?

Do you not see the amount of heterosexual relations around you? if you talk abiut your wife, its okay. If id talk about my husband, itd be politics somehow.

"gonna let you coach your kids into getting surgery" holy fuck they are banning THERAPY for transkids. not just surgery. And in other states, transpeople arent even recognized.

Do you wanna know my real problems? I am not even american and your fucking culture war has suffiently poisoned the discourse in Germany, so now even our right wing chuckle fucks whip up support by calling all queer people pedophiles. There are now people in my parliament that have called for the death penalty for queer people. And they are poised to get 30%.

Do you also cry when you see black people? Women? any other minority?

Years of competent and cooperative occupation? 5? Thats how long it took in Germany. Probably a bad example, but it is possible. And the occupational force reaaaaally has to work to combat the reasons for this. Under the US Occupation women had a lot more rights and presence in society. The PMCs and scumbags that led this regime however did nothing else to attract loyalty from the afghan soldiers.

Years of extractive Nationbuilding? fuck if i know.

Yeah, lemme just get our 30 functipning helicopters and ask the tankers if they can come up with more than 100 leopards. Maybe we'll find some. Aaaand can you borrow us some guns? Our G-36 gets all inaccurate and jammy when hot.
