Taliban bringing the year of the Linux desktop closer wasn't on my bingo card.
Jokes, but I'm surprised how these misogynistic shitheads can reproduce with how they are afraid of women.
The answer is rape
Weak men bring sick times.
I saw the headline and was like, "well the Lemmy crowd would love this". One half loves authoritarian regimes, the other half hates windows.
They re not afraid of using women as domestic appliances for reproduction and housekeeping, because they are objects, property. They have problems with other men eyeing their property.
You are correct, but I will never understand how they can see their own mother like this. Who thinks of their mom as an appliance?
Those men will never be loved. Just a bunch of deeply damaged psychopaths.
Well, in your last bit I think you got how. People with little to none emotional bonding, affection and contact, tend to develop psychopathic or at least sociopathic disorders.
My country has never been on that level of misogyny and male dominance, but my dad generation and my grandpa generation were respectively worse than today in terms of women being the house servant, and motherly love and affection was looked down because of the idea it would soften the boys and make them gay or effeminate, too soft to be real men in the future. From young age they learned about your mother and sisters being the ones that occupy themselves with house chores and you are not expected to even learn how to do anything. Males are the ones that bring money, thus deserve to be served.
I see how, in a more extreme setting, your mother is not really more than a human incubator and servant. You had no human contact with her or developed any kind of bond.
I have read about multiple discussions regarding generations after WW2 (Germany) getting too "Soft" because all the men were dead and the sons only raised by mothers. Those discussions were of course.... held by the surviving men.
There is a long tradition of how eastern society functions and how women see themselfes in it, BUUUUUUT
Talibs overtook a country modeled after european states with two decades of gender equality and stuff, and them undoing it is not a return to tradition but self-inflicted barbarism to please 50% sausage havers.
I remember a similar thread about this: The European model stuff only happend in a very limited area (cities) while most of the rural country was, is, are, have been the clans now known as "Taliban"... which got literally weaponized by the US during the cold war.
I don't remember the details but that's what I think to know about that subject. (I never watched Rambo 2 /s)
A lot of these stories are thinly sourced and heavily embellished. Any time you read "Enemy county on other side of world does extremely bizarre thing to entire population" headline, take it with an enormous grain of salt.
American tabloid media loves to lie, in order to help justify past and future military conflicts and to stir up hostility against foreign populations.
It's the same hysterical bullshit we saw in the US, with Trump insisting Haitian immigrants were eating dogs and cats.
Are you suggesting they are manufacturing consent? In my American media?
Yet, Talibs are idiots covering their bigotry under their religion like many in the middle east do.
They're a reactionary response to foreign occupation, like white blood cells flooding your system to stave off a deadly infection. Had the English, the Russians, or the Americans approached Afghans peacefully and equitably, rather than charging in guns blazing time after time, you might not see these militant rejections of western culture.
But for whatever reason, Americans simply cannot grasp why a foreign nation would rise up in violent rebellion against a military that systematically kidnaps and rapes local children.
You take away their agency and their choice to create a backwards society. We can thank americans for creating a disfunctional corrupt house of cards that felt apart once they left, pepper it with their many crimes, but both Talibs in 2001 and Talibs in 2021 were to pack women in trash bags and make spotty readings of Quran the law once they get a chance. Probably, in coming decades, we'd see how they outlive the influence of murricans and their own overcompensation for that, but I just can't see how that clique can create anything but conservative manocentric shithole with only variable being if they do or don't become the worlds first opioid farm.
