Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the death of Kissinger while he is still unfortunately alive, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What do you mean by "lol"? This is a serious question. Do you think post-withdrawal deaths in Afghanistan are funny? Do you think that sanctions and the seizure of Afghan funds by the U.S. government after completely harmless because the U.S. military withdrew? Do you think that somehow, despite the U.S. admitting to supporting the Mujahideen (and their numerous terror attacks on innocents) prior to Soviet intervention with the express purpose of undermining and abolishing reforms under democratic rule so that they could supplant Soviet influence in the Mid-East, that they are not responsible for current disorganization and Taliban rule?
Symptoms of permanent smug dunk brain
they just didn't want democracy hard enough, so it's okay that they starve to death now
