    Let’s start with how it’s racist to stop religious fundamentalists from abusing women. This should be fun.

      Just a wild guess here, but I take it that you never got very good marks for reading comprehension. But whatever, I’ll answer your bad faith question:

      The racism is ignoring all of the ways in which colonial powers have fucked, refucked, and then triple fucked, the collection of tribal regions known as Afghanistan, which only exists as a nation state because of colonial powers drawing politically convenient lines on maps.

      All while pretending that religion, and not the colonial conflict legacy is the root cause of these problems. Because admitting that colonialism is why we’re here, isn’t a very good narrative for selling the next war.

      So great, now it’s the white Savior’s moral obligation to fix the problems that these brown people created all on their own, and definitely did not happen as a result of over a century of colonial violence , resource exploitation, and constant warfare.

      And not for nothing, but you also clearly don’t have a clue about the crimes against humanity level shit that happened during the occupation.

      So stop and think, why all this coverage now, and not for the last decade of occupation?

      Manufacturing consent for the next foreign war.
