I already made it. The Nazi Gun Control argument. Afghanistan is back to how it was before the U.S. invaded, thousands of deaths later, so if that's an example of how the Nazi Gun Control argument is false, it's a poor one.
Are you saying that there is a problem with Afghani culture, and that American culture is better or more valuable?
Afghan. Afghani is a currency.
I take it you don't want to engage the question because you realize the trap you're in? That's fine. Perhaps refrain from comparing people to Nazis in the future?
Considering you didn't know that 'Afghani culture' wasn't a thing, no, I didn't answer your loaded question. But please do tell me about this so-called trap I'm in.
This is like those really embarrassing 2000's era gotchas where someone would say some cringe shit like "you spelled X wrong and therefore I win this argument". You said the following:
How exactly am I to interpret this if not you saying that Afghan culture has a problem, or that you are comparing them to Nazis? Do you believe that the culture the Americans brought with them was better? If so, can you share a few ways American culture is better than Afghan culture?
Okay, sure.
And, what the hell...
Is that enough?
If polls indicated that the Afghan people preferred it that way, would it have been worth the deaths of so many to try to change it?
Who said it was worth any deaths trying to change it? You asked if one was superior to the other.
