Those who left and those who could not flee speak of a country in ruins and decry the world’s apathy towards the humanitarian crisis and the lack of rights, mainly for women, which a UN report describes as ‘gender apartheid’
What do they expect? Permanent US occupation? If they really expect that, then they’re going to need to make themselves a US territory or deal with themselves.
And yet you came in defending it for some reason. Now you refuse to actually elaborate on why you decided to speak up at all and want me to make up something new just so you can have something to argue about.
All I said is that asking what a repressed and destroyed community expects is probably some basic humanity, and not a bunch of internet commenters being condescending assholes. I also said “thoughts and prayers” isn’t empathy or interest, and if I have to explain that, then I may as well be asked to explain to a Republican why “thoughts and prayers” is a shit response to a school shooting.

Did they expect the USA to invade in the first place?
Yeah, that’s America’s whole thing

The organization ended up fracturing, and one of those factions went on to become a terrorist organization. Not all of them though.

Uh, wrong.
We only invade brown people and commies.
Germany was brown commies?
It’s not really an invasion when they start it.
It’s karma.
Wall Street funded them bro.
I think they just expected empathy and interest in them as a people.
Ok, they have our empathy and interest. How does that translate into meaningful physical action?
Do they? You’re more focused on trying to have a gotcha on the internet than displaying any empathy or interest in them.
Thoughts and prayers won’t make the Taliban go away lol
Is that your idea of what empathy or interest looks like?
What is yours? How would you have supported them without actually helping the Taliban?
Please explain to me how sending thoughts and prayers is your idea of having empathy or interest in something first.
I never said that. But it’s clearly not yours, so please elaborate on what yours is.

Ah, so you don’t have any actual arguments, you just want to argue.
What do you think it should look like? I’m not pleased with the situation but I don’t know what we could do differently.
It definitely doesn’t look like thoughts and prayers, a phrase which is often used by people who show the opposite of empathy or interest.
