A lot of people want to point at religion but these are conservative sentiments. The Taliban was only popular due to it's anti-imperialism fighting foreign invaders like the Soviets and US. Now that the people of Afghanistan can turn to internal politics, the can fight to end or reform the Taliban's oppressive rule. The Taliban is sowing the seeds of their own demise via popular revolution

The problem is, they've actually successfully reduced corruption from the unjust kleptocracy the US installed. Shits pretty bad when the fucking taliban can come along and create a less corrupt government.
