MODERATORS
You have your culture, they have theirs. You should be more concerned with US and NATO war crimes, rather than policing the culture of people who just want to be left alone.
The West is welcome [not really] to try spending 2.4 trillion dollars and 20 years in Afghanistan again. Maybe one more bomb is all it takes to make them westernize... ;)
Your entire post and comment history is political. You should get a hobby.
Maybe their hobby is politics.
!arabicmusic@lemmy.ml is political?
!arabianpaganism@lemmy.ml is political?
They mean not white when they say political
I'm not sure I follow your logic?
Just look at how controversial this post was https://lemmy.ml/post/9629138
The only reason it got downvoted was because it was a 5G speed demo in Saudi Arabia. But I hold Lemmy is still better than Reddit. In Reddit you couldn’t post anything about any Arab or Muslim country without the comment section being toxic.
Did you consider the fact that it's useless content that probably breaks Rule #2 on that community?
Regarding your other hobbies, those posts don't federate to my instance, so I'm sorry I didn't see you have an interest in music and religion. If I may correct my initial statement from "Your entire" to "90% of".
I didn’t choose for Palestine to be colonized. I didn’t choose for there to be US troops and bases in my country.
I would rather talk about Kenafah and Debke. But here we are. In between being colonized and bombed.
What does that have to do with 5G?
Dooogg whiisstlleeesss!!
"Don't concern yourself with (issue), concern yourself with (another issue)."
Afghanistan could have been further developed by now if the US didn't occupy it for 20 years.
Progress is happening regardless. Afghanistan now for example has local photovoltaic solar panel production.
I'm not going to stop caring about women because Afghanistan has solar panels. To me that's absurd.
To me it is absurd that western countries don't care for their own people but pretend to care about people half way across the world. It is all a scam to sell wars to the people and you fell for it. If you want Afghanistan to develop and progress leave it alone. You tried establishing a puppet state and it collapsed immediately, count your losses and move on.
Why do you assume I don't care for my own people?
I'm sorry but I just find it hard to not care about the despicable treatment of women there. It's messed up. Me not caring about the women there is not going to benefit them.
I tried?
The degrading conditions and quality of life in most western countries suggest that the people don't care.
If your care is sincere there are ways to help other than building up a narrative for sanctions or invasions. There was a point in time when Saudi Arabia was rural and conservative, with time it has developed, and now females outperform males in academic achievement. For another example, look at nearby Iran which has an urban and educated population.
Do you know anything about material and socioeconomic conditions? Afghanistan haven't had a moment of political stability, and was never given a chance.
Western states are democracies aren't they? Their actions reflect the will of the people. Though you may be from the countries that didn't join the US-led invasion.
I didn’t realize all 2 billion of them lived in Afghanistan
You are such a judgmental and bigoted fellow. Enjoy your enlightened democracy.
And you don’t have HSR or free healthcare. I finished university like most Saudis with money saved. In Saudi Arabia the university pays you, I’d rather have this than a false choice between 99% Hitler and 100% Hitler. Go beg your government for student loan forgiveness.
