    You joke but literally two hours ago I saw a NYT opinion piece about 'why we should go back to Afghanistan'

      here it is(?):

      'It’s Time for America to Go Back to Afghanistan'

      https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/03/opinion/united-states-afghanistan.html

      'Washington has done so in an effort to pressure the ruling Taliban to moderate its views, including committing to women’s rights, expanding the government to non-Taliban members and addressing human rights abuses.'

      Yes that's totally why the US went to war...

        This valuable opinion piece by 'Guest Essay'. Well Mr Guest, I sure wish I had the skills to do your job at they NYT but I don't think I'm divorced from reality and/or high on cocaine enough to be entertaining.

    I had seen a tweet of this a while ago and posted it in a discord but the tweet got deleted eventually and I forgot about it and I was scrolling through and saw a bunch of people talking about "Churst Bumpis" but couldn't remember why
