Afghanistan

There’s lots of talk lately about the need to import all those refugees from Afghanistan into Europe and America, because the Terrible Taliban have taken over and are now going to rape, plunder and kill everybody.

Let’s see what actually happened in Afghanistan.

America decided to pull out, which was known well in advance. The talks with the Taliban have been going on for, well, years. This is no surprise. The surprise is the level of haste and incompetence with which the Americans pulled out, but it was known that they eventually would.

Afghanistan had a pretty large, well equipped army, trained by the Americans. This army apparently arranged surrender to the Taliban in hope of sharing power. They didn’t oppose the Taliban in any way. The population of Afghanistan didn’t organize a popular revolt, take up arms against the Taliban, or do anything at all. Sure, some are trying to get away to America and Europe, but everybody from all kinds of shitholes is trying that. As far as I could tell, those people trying to board American planes are mostly military-age men. None of them had an idea to fight for their country against the Taliban. They are men without courage and value, who just want the stream of free money to continue going their way. Basically, they are parasites.

So, they didn’t want to fight the Taliban, but they are afraid of them? Tough shit. Also, considering how the anti-Taliban forces in Afghanistan were armed by the Americans, they should not have been in any fear of the ragged Taliban gang. The idea that the Taliban defeated America is bullshit. America just got tired of wasting resources on killing them because it wasn’t getting anywhere. The local Afghan population, however, had good reason to fight them if they wanted to have a non-Taliban country, and they would be highly effective, since they are local to the country, and not invading aliens. However, they actually decided to have a Taliban country, and I think they should be allowed to have it now. Furthermore, the Americans invested serious effort in trying to impart their cultural and ethical norms to the local population there, including all kinds of gender quotas and similar bullshit, which was all outright rejected by the locals, who decided that they prefer the Taliban. They had years to make a choice, and they made it quite clear which way they decided to go.

I don’t appreciate all the whining about the Afghan women who are now going to be the spoils of war for the Taliban. As far as I recall, those women are the local population. Their men didn’t take up arms to fight for them. Tough shit, but that’s how reality works: if men don’t defend women with guns, the women end up as slave girls for the conquering army. There are no human rights and similar invented bullshit. The only protection they could have would come from the weapons of their defenders and the religious restrictions of the conquerors, and since the Taliban are Muslim, and Islam is an inherently evil religion, they will have a situation not very different from that in a war between two tribes of chimps, where defeated males are killed and eaten, and their females are fucked. That’s what Islam is, and that’s what Afghanistan chose to have.

This means I don’t give a single fuck about them unless they renounce Islam, embrace Christianity or Buddhism, and start acting like spiritual beings wearing flesh, instead of chimps with rifles. We don’t need chimps with rifles in either Europe and America. There needs to be a wall around all Islamic countries, so that those pests cannot infest civilized lands. That’s my opinion on the matter.
