Official soft drink of Boca Raton!
I never saw an ounce of puss!
This is what I come to the comments for
A handful of years ago, US Republicans were losing their shit over Muslims and the Taliban, basically saying they were the biggest threat. I'm honestly waiting for them to realize that their views are almost completely aligned with the Taliban's. Both against abortion and LGBTQ rights, both want religion in schools and to get rid of the separation of church and state, etc. It doesn't at all surprise me that Republicans and the Taliban have the same preferred social media.
Just like how people you can't stand the most just subconsciously remind you of yourself, republicans can't stand the taliban because it's like looking in a mirror for them.
That's because they're both authoritarians.
It's the same reason Tankies hate Nazi's when they're both essentially the same thing in practice despite their economic outlooks being opposite. Authoritarianism is authoritarianism, everything else is just a different flavor.
Christian authoritarians think they're good and muslim's sharia law bad, but in reality they're just two religions trying to force their shit on everyone else. They physically cannot see that it's the same because to them it's "morally correct" and therefore not authoritarianism.
It makes no sense but it makes sense to the general public. When it ceases to make sense to the general public, it will be seen as you and I see it. I'm not holding my breath until the general public figures this out. You really can't fix dumb and uneducated. It's what politicians count on. Your dumb and uneducated vote manipulated by key terms thrown out there and reproduced in whatever media you like and is willing to send to you.
Funnily enough they also endorsed Trump before the 2020 election.
They support only the best.
Twitter, the only social network endorsed by the Taliban and caturd! What's not to love?
I'm surprised the Taliban want to be associated with something so toxic.
It's the Taliban, the appropriate action is to ignore everything they say because they're religious extremists who commit violent actions against random citizens of their own and other nations.
I they said Twitter was bad and endorsed Threads would you still give a shit? lol
