Hey Mr Taliban Tally Me Banana

Quick reminder that Islam doesn't have an anti science tradition. The fundamentalism goes back to contact with colonial Christians (not that all of Christianity is bad either)
I would say all religions are fundamentally anti-science given a core part is believing in something so improbable and childish with no scientific evidence.
Religion is always negotiable. Some have a "God of the gap" with a shrinking gap, others have an abstract understanding of God to a degree where it's unfalsifiable and therefore beyond scientific questions
Both are reached through faulty reasoning, and not a good thing for a scientist.
There are truth beyond scientific truth. Being aware of which is which is a good thing
Idk man even the most hardcore religious-studies teachers I had when I lived in Iraq were obsessed with promoting STEM fields.
Also certain apartments and such routinely gave "teacher benefits" in form of discounts like how some US veterans get.
Hell, Islam is the reason most of the knowledge from Roman or earlier times survived. While Christians were regressing in intellectualism, Islam was thriving.
Still, I would argue, to an extent, all religion is anti intellectual. They have some pieces that you aren't allowed to question. That limits the scope of research.
oh fuuuck goddam it i remember that flash animation from october 2001... what the fuck did you bring that memory back for??
Forgot an “r” in “control” x2
Looks like they were successful in contolling the education system at least lol
contol education, that about chemtrails?
chemtails*
Can't decide which group has shittier pickups
Christian nationalist for sure. So many perfectly fine trucks that have been lifted, or otherwise modified to be less useful.
The Taliban uses a lot of Toyotas, and they're all for off roading in the desert. No pavement princesses.
In that area the maple leaf is considered a sign of quality due to the Toyota Hilux. People will literally tattoo them on themselves. There are a lot of fake Hiluxes which aren't as good, but at some point Canada sent a bunch of good ones as foreign aid, and they all had Canadian flags on the tailgate. So now they like anything with a Canadian flag on it.

I have an opinion that Toyota should use the insurgencies for advertising. There's no better ad for a truck than them being used for rugged reliable transport in a war zone. You don't see them driving Ford f150s, because they don't actually make sense for a utility vehicle. Meanwhile there are little Toyotas with BMP canons strapped onto them driving around.
Some people might say it's bad taste. I'd disagree. If Dodge can use the American revolution for advertising, is that any better than insurgents in the Middle East or Africa?
If Dodge can use the American revolution for advertising
Worked for VW and Benz, they are still around.
daylight come and me wan go home
Are Taliban pro gun, though? I'm sure they like their guns, but do they advocate free guns for all?
Most MAGAts don't want guns for all either. Think trans or non binary folk.
They're pro-gun for all people, just don't ask who they consider to be actual people.
