    Jfc, the comments here are disgusting.

    As if this is the first time an imperial superpower has intervened so heavily in a country and then backed the fuck up once there was no profit left to be made and left the locals to go fuck themselves.

    And yet fuckers whose only knowledge of the situation over there comes from their biased racist google search abilities, and who not only would, without a shadow of a doubt, run and hide and piss themsleves if they ever encountered any situation a tenth as threatening as Afghan people have had to put up with, but probably end up joining the oppressive force because that’s what people with tiny fragile egos tend to do - seek ways to abuse others, get to sit here and judge those poor people who are nothing but pawns in a war for profit for “not helping themselves”?!

    The fucking audacity of you fuckers is beyond belief.

    I’d say go read some fucking history and educate yourselves about the hundreds of examples of how imperial and colonial powers have ravaged and then abandoned people all across the globe, but I honestly don’t think it’d help people with their heads so far up their own asses that they actually think their ignorant selves are somehow qualified to pass judgment on these people’s lives.

      Threads like this just remind that the fediverse existed for over a year before reddit shit the bed, and was populated mostly be far right extremists who had been IP banned from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and pretty much every other social media.

      The idea of the fediverse is great, but the fact is you can never really permanently ban anyone from it.

      So in a lot of ways it’s also the gutter the worst get washed into. And they’re usually the most active

        If you really think the fediverse was ever “populated mostly by far-right extremists” you have zero clue what you’re talking about and zero credibility.

        Less than a year ago Lemmy was mostly communist meme threads and a few years before that Mastodon was just a FOSS community hangout.

      I have to admit seeing the comments in here made me realise I need to load kbin on desktop so I can use its function where we make notes on users.

      That or figure out how to run the kbin enhancement suite.

        I just block anyone who says anything remotely Right-wing.

        No time for racists, capitalists, and fascists.
