The filmmaker was responding to news from Afghanistan​

‘No one saw this coming,’ says Dominic Raab on swift Taliban takeover of Afghanistan
Michael Moore has courted controversy in a new social media post.
Posting on Twitter, the Bowling for Columbine filmmaker shared a picture of those involved with the Capitol Riots alongside a photo of the Talibanin Afghanistan.
Moore captioned the post: “Their Taliban, our Taliban, everybody’s got a Taliban. They’re at their best when they confiscate the halls of power.”
Earlier in the week, Moore responded to the news that Afghanistan had been taken over by the Taliban in a series of tweets.
In one of the posts, which you can see in full below, he wrote: “We sacrificed over 2,300 American lives to invade a country where Bin Laden was never, nowhere, to be found.” He also called the war “disgustingly sad”.
Earlier this year, Moore said that former US President Donald Trump should “pay for his actions” with “trial, conviction, imprisonment” as his presidency came to an end.
Moore is a left-wing documentarian. He is known for his films criticising topics such as globalisation, large corporations, assault weapon ownership, Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Donald Trump, the Iraq War, the American health care system and capitalism.

Trump still became president and Moore is still butthurt about it.

Didn’t the same people like Michael Moore compare what happened to the Capitol Building on January 6th to the same thing as 9/11?

These “progressives” can’t keep their stories straight

Moore is and always has been nothing more than a vile Goebbels-esque propagandist, this is just him doing what he does.

Wasn't Goebbels good at propaganda though?

And you don't think Moore is? I'd say his "documentaries" were at least partially responsible for shifting the cultural overton window that led to the Dems taking total control in 2008.

the Tunguska blast

To be fair, fewer people died from Tunguska than died at the Capitol Hill riots and there was less property damage because... y'know... it was in the middle of fucking Siberia rather than the world's largest hive of scum and villainy

Michael Moore shitting out of his mouth again? What a shock

The last time he had any relevance as a filmmaker was still during the Bush administration, Sicko was the last one of his docummentaries anyone gave a shit about and that was almost 20 years ago. In a sea of useless commie propagandists he stands out by being the fattest one, congratulations.

I forgot about Sicko, that was a prelude to all the controversy with Obamacare.

He tries to go for some 'guns aren't inherently bad but Americans with guns are' point and tries to compare Canada having 'almost as much' guns (something that's also aged poorly these days) but not having anywhere near the violent gun crime rate that America does. Because his ideological blinkers prevent him from drawing the obvious conclusion there he instead has to launch into some tangent on racism.

His obsession with Canada is hilarious, he's like a Canadaboo.

And you don't think Moore is? I'd say his "documentaries" were at least partially responsible for shifting the cultural overton window that led to the Dems taking total control in 2008.

He was absolutely hugely influential in popularizing the left, partly because he looked like and really leaned hard into the persona of "shucks, I'm just like your average white American!", if people only knew just how much hatred of white America secretly laid behind the left.

Michael Moore got his start from a documentary about how GM killed Flint, MI, and now he probably hates those same people because he's now a fat shithead who will suck corporate cock because they say and do things he likes, even if it means losing more jobs for Americans.

Hopefully he ends up like most fat people and his heart finally gives up.

 

[feedtheoctopus]

He's right though. Religious fundamentalists who believe in extreme violence as a solution to every problem, hate feminism and minorities, love guns...Taliban and the Proud Boys have a lot in common. Though the Taliban got more style then those LARPer idiots.

That one I haven't seen, but it's another example of how he used to have more a point to make.

Then those same corporations learned how to successfully brainwash people like Moore and now it's "oh well, who cares? Those people are racist and don't deserve jobs anyway"

 

[Troonos]

Yeah, I can totally see how authoritarians taking control of a country is the same as private individuals revolting against authority.

Lol you actually believe those idiots weren't just brainwashed white trash?

Why is the American right fucking lobotomized? You make liberals seem intelligent, and liberals are morons.

Lol you voted for a rich yuppie who literally thinks you're cattle. And he's right.

Donald Trump lost to a shambling old man of milquetoast, out of touch, politics who nobody outside of reporters likes. Anybody else could have won that election, but you idiots went with the sociopathic reality TV star who can't read and talks in down syndrome haikus.

Remember when Trump told you all to inject bleach and you fucking did it? I don't know why liberals think you're dangerous, you're suicidally retarded.

 

[Ita Mori]

He had a few decent points to make back in the day, Bowling for Columbine criticizes media fear mongering and he was right to slam Dubya and the War on Terror with Fahrenheit 9/11.

Except people much smarter than him made those points years before he did.
Moore's films are watchmojo top 10 lists on topics already tackled better and earlier by others.

So what does that make Hillary Clinton, the head of the DNC lost to a lolcow who lost to a retard...

 

[Fetish Roulette]

I'm not sure how comparing the 1/6 jaywalkers to a group of winners is supposed to be an insult.

It's a terrible insult, and the Taliban is gravely offended.

Almost as incompetent and stupid as the American public, though she did get more votes than that wannabe Patrick Batemen.. Now that's some pathetic shit, getting less votes then one of the most disliked women in America. He had less real support than the "super predators" lady.

It's hilarious how out of touch you people are. You really think the republican party is anything other then a bunch of braying manchildren at the level of its voters and sociopathic finance bro types the rest of the time who would rape you to death for a dollar. It's like watching people who's brains have been rotted by the internet and FOX for so long that there's just mush in there, there's nothing even resembling an ideology. Just moral and intellectual cowards screaming about how the world is moving on from their provably retarded bullshit.

If Trump came out as trans tomorrow every single one of you would go to victoria's secret and get dolled up. Because there's nothing inside your twisted, pudding like, minds then submission to whatever your dumbass party's line is.

I'm cracking up watching COVID destroy the south right now. Governor of Texas bans mask mandates (for what? Cheap "own the libs" points? Owning the libs is as easy as pointing out that Obama built privately owned detention camps and deported refugee children, don't act like it's an accomplishment). Now the delta varient is overloading your hospitals and killing your grandparents, and you'll vote for this shit again. And again. And again. And learn nothing. You are literally dying en mass because reality scares you.

L to the fucking O to the fucking L.

And the best part? You actually believe it's not like this.

You joined in 2016, so I can understand the memes, but have you not noticed that it's now 2021?

You're in a thread about Michael Moore. Have you guys realized it isn't 2003?

Are you an actual child using daddy's account? I'm just trying to wrap my head around why you're so out of touch with the forum culture that you seem to think you're not just making a fool out of yourself. Lazy copypastas I can understand, but you're actually putting effort into writing this, and I'm genuinely confused as to why. Call it academic interest.
