Took a double take to see if i could see the Onion, what happens when satire becomes more real than reality...

We joke but I really doubt they're quietly quitting on the "human rights violations and religious extremism" part.
No I'm assuming they're just done with the random paper pushing shit.
Human rights violations are probably the part they miss.
r/antiwork and the Talibans, same combat.
Also, not sure what government officials having boring desk jobs has to do with capitalism.
Can't they not resign and open a business in a sector they're passionate about, like a recreational shooting range or a demolition company?

And that has ALWAYS been the problem with any group of radicals that believe in an ideology that calls for revolution/overthrow.
Its far easier to tear something down than build something new (and especially, better) where it stood.
These idiots never have a plan.
Never.
"Uhh...I guess we'll send womens rights to the dumpster and then wing it from there?"
Because in the end, just like the alt-right, they're mostly just a bunch of immature, bitter young men angry at the world.
Same goes for anarchists as well. Burn it all to the ground. Then what.
The Taliban didn't run things for very long (5ish years, roughly i think) in the lead up to 9/11 and the US invasion, and the infrastructure was already in place from all the previous governments., so it would have been much easier to actually rule day-to-day. The guys this time around are mostly new and disconnected from the older governing group, and working with a lot less infrastructure.

Taliban Gen Z. I imagine the Millennials would've largely died in the Bush Wars, the proxy wars elsewhere, and their beef with ISIS.
This is my worry as well, police force gives the the "best" of both worlds

Complete sidenote, but this isn't actually from Thucydides. It's by one Sir William Francis Butler, in writing about Charles George Gordon:

Not entirely clear why people thought it was better attributed to some ancient greek historian than a 19th century British officer

Huh, I never knew. Thanks for pointing it out :) Either way it's an interesting quote!
