I have hope for the women of Afghanistan. Think about it, the Taliban has the chance to prove themselves on the world stage as a legit government, hopefully they don't blow it. So far the Taliban takeover has been mostly peaceful, what a good opportunity for them to prove themselves. I don't think I've ever seen or heard of anything like it.

Dude, they literally shot a woman in the street for not wearing a face covering.

They're scum, plain and simple. "Women's rights" are a joke to them.

Okay, I hear what you're saying, but that's not what I heard. Also that doesn't have anything to do with us.

I'm for women's rights everywhere. And LGBTQ rights everywhere.

Civil liberties for all, everywhere.

I'm sure there are charitable foundations you could donate to and volunteer for. If you really want to help the women of Afghanistan I hope you're doing more than making mean memes about the Taliban.

I checked it out. seems legit, thank you.

Before you go and judge me, what exactly are you doing to effect material change to the situation?

Never underestimate the power of prayer, my friend.

I'm not judging you I swear. I just want you to see that there is hope right now. It's not perfect, but it's a start. We left, they took over, it's been largely peaceful. Those are facts. Did we ever belong there? In my opinion we did not, and certainly not after Osama was taken out. The Taliban might not be the greatest, but it is what it is and we have to let them sort it out. They should have women's rights and LGBTQ rights but that's something they have to work out for themselves, It's not our place to force them to with never-ending warfare. America is the best, freest most beautiful country to ever exist and we still haven't got it all figured out yet. Think about how hard fought women rights and civil rights were. Think about how far America has come in the last hundred years. (and how far backwards we've gone in the last few years.)Our own country needs to get women's rights and LGBTQ rights and civil rights figured out before we start insisting other countries adhere to those strict standards.

I pray every single day, especially for those I dislike the most. All of my anti-Trumping doesn't come from a place of hatred, it comes from a place of concern. Trumpism has been a never-ending assault on my values, spiritually and as an American.

I don't think I'm going to win the culture war with memes or anything, but it's pretty funny to me, and I find it therapeutic.

While I respect your candor and optimism, I regret that I cannot share it. Our country may have full civil equality on its books, but that doesn't mean the Taliban is likely to follow suit. In fact I will be shocked if they don't start intensive persecutions of all minorities (ethnic and religious) the moment U.S and U.K troops are fully withdrawn. :(

And yes, I don't expect to change anyone's mind with a meme or ten, but agree they are fun. As far as prayer goes, I'm glad you and I agree it is powerful. It's probably the only thing that can truly fix our world...

C'mon man, you're not supposed to say things I agree with.

Dangit.

I am for LGBTQ and women's rights everywhere too. I don't think those are values you can force on people halfway across the world with war.

Praying for their safety. :'(

I'll join you in that prayer!
