Maybe this is a dumb question, but I’ve been thinking about it recently. With the Taliban taking back over Afghanistan, I’m trying to see things from a non-American perspective.

Is the Taliban actually a bad organization or do they have a warped image of being evil thanks to America? Are they more comparable to say, Hamas, rather than ISIS?

    the Taliban are bad. they are like ISIS levels of bad. they came out of the Mujahideen who overthrew the Socialist Republic of Afghanistan. we meme about them because they kill Yankee and Anglo scum, but no the Taliban are very very bad and reactionary. the point however is not that it is up to outside powers to invade and set up a puppet regime, but for the people of Afghanistan to have their own liberation be decided by them and not a western backed puppet who wants to use them for resource extraction
