That's not surprising. Most people have learned by this point to archive any big happenings, so there's likely a bunch of people archiving articles right now.

Who said they came through checkpoints? We don't even know if this was actually Jihadis or some Cheetos smeared tech in Langley guiding a drone. This stinks like a week old shit and has glowie written all over it.Styx pointed out that to get to where that bomb went off meant they had to go through multiple checkpoints... so did the Taliban just let ISIS perform a suicide bomb against the Western forces?
That's the standard DARVO shit libs constantly pull, I can totally buy itlmao i call total bullshit on this
Just checked - real.lmao i call total bullshit on this
I think you have this entirely the wrong way around. The real reason Islamist groups like the Taliban don't fear death is because they treat life with indifference, whereas Westerners view life as something which ought to be enjoyed and valued for it's own sake, and thus something to be preserved and respected.
I've seen many displays of Western masochism in light of the recent events in Afghanistan, but this particular trope is completely tired and backwards. Islamists and their sympathizers have long sought to paint the West as decadent and devoid of purpose, and themselves as noble and courageous by contrast, but the truth is the opposite: the reason Western powers ever made a point of upholding concepts such as human rights, democracy, free expression, and pluralism (despite the cynical objections from naysayers), is precisely because we believe in something noble: we believe that life is worth living, and that we have a constructive purpose in this life.
The Islamists, by contrast, subscribe to a nihilistic ideology of destruction and decay: they long for a world which is stagnant and cultureless; completely devoid of art, philosophy, music, entertainment, love, humor, or sympathy. In other words, groups like the Taliban long for a world where life is not worth living, which may go some way to explain their casual indifference to it.
There's a difference. The end vision of the Jihadists (and most of the hardcore islamists) is the day of the judgement. The whole world is a test (aka the simulationSounds like the West is hurtling toward s gay and retarded version of that. Lockdowns where it's illegal to see loved ones even if they are catching their last breaths, the destruction of culture and history not sanctioned by the global corporations, the demand that you do not think for yourself and instead let the "experts" do all the thinking, censorship abound of not just internet posts but of art as well if you use streaming services. On top of that, all of these things have encouraged people, particularly young people who have potential, to kill themselves more often now, because they see living in this society as worse than dying.
Oh, okay. I had a laughing fit when I saw that tweet.no i mean what the administration is saying that these people want to stay.
