Let’s get right down to it, and review the case made by a respectable thinker from the left, Umar Haque, who I take on in this article. He writes with passion about how the Taliban will punish people who adopted US liberal practices, especially women, and that is true. I let him put his case.
What I will say is that people took a risk by going the US way, and there is a price to pay. The country was Islamic before the US came, and expecting feminism, transgenderism and other liberal ideologies to somehow overtake everything was a pipe dream. All I can say is the US needs to stop trying to import its culture upon people like this. Hopefully the lesson here for the war hawks who obey the globalists, wanting the US to fight wars to make certain places “safe” will be learnt from imperial overshoot, as the US collapses just like the former USSR.
There is no reason to take any so-called refugees at all. They took a gamble with liberalism, and lost, that is the cold hard facts. And if refugees are taken, you can be sure that there will be a repeat of what happened with the Syrian “refugees,” most young men, in Europe. In short, there is no realistic possibility of reforming the world, and we must have a live and let live attitude, or more disasters like this will be clocked up. But, of course, the globalists will continue to use the US as a bully, to fight losing wars, then take in masses of refugees. It will all lead to Mad Max, or is it now, Mad Maxine.

“How bad is the mistake Biden and Blinken made? It’s that big. Americans have a hard time imagining scenarios as bad as the one unfolding in Afghanistan right now. They have the incredible luxury of being imperial subjects. Sure, the empire’s dying — but it’s not gone yet. And so Americans still live in relative safety. They can’t quite imagine what it’s like when the fascists arrive on your doorstep.
So let me assure you. That’s what it’s like. Americans see pictures of huge waves of people fleeing the Taliban. But nobody quite spells out for them what all those people are fleeing from. Let me make it absolutely brutally clear.
What is unfolding is all the following. Sexual slavery — on the scale of an entire country. Women are being seized, yes, really, to be “married” to Taliban members, which means they’re basically taken and put into sexual servitude. It’s the Handmaid’s Tale, the West’s entertainment, only it’s true. Women aren’t allowed to laugh in public. Then there’s the mass violence. Anyone remotely associated with America is sure to be executed in a particularly bloody and public way — beheaded, for all to see. Journalists, professors, teachers, artists, intellectuals, writers, film-makers, scientists, researchers — they’re going to be executed, too. The lucky ones will escape with beatings. With torture. With mutilation so severe they’re crippled for life, like being flogged in the public square.
We are talking about an entire nation under the thumb of the world’s most barbaric and regressive and cruel fascist movement. All its women. All its kids. All its men. Anyone who displays the slightest hint of a vaguely modern attitude is going to be persecuted, quite literally, to death. They will be tortured and maimed and enslaved in utterly horrific ways, which are so far beyond the American imagination that literally nobody can even talk about them.
But if you really want to begin understanding the magnitude and depth of Biden and Blinken’s mistake, that’s where you need to go. Right down into the deepest darkness of the human soul. You need to bear witness. And ask yourself: does anybody deserve that? To be enslaved? To be put into sexual servitude? To have their kids taken from them? To be violently tortured?
Let’s just use the Golden Rule, to try to spark the moribund American imagination. If all this was happening to you, your kids, your family, how would you feel?
That’s why all those people are fleeing. They’re not running away for show. They’re not desperately trying to escape because they’re going to be called names and insulted. They are running because their daughters are going to be sexually enslaved, their sons made jihadis, what small amounts of money they have confiscated, and their pasts examined, and if the slightest deviation from the Taliban’s medieval way is found, they’re going to be tortured and likely killed, in horrifically cruel ways.
Those people are running from slavery, torture, execution — of their whole families. That’s why they’re so desperate for a way out.
How would you feel?
That’s the beginning of how bad Biden’s and Blinken’s mistake really is. The human dimension. The nightmarish catastrophe that’s unfolding now for Afghans. But maybe, like most Americans, you still don’t care — maybe you only care about money, sex, celebrity gossip, the ongoing crackhead supply of it all, to numb the pain of your own life. Very good, let me tell you how this mistake is going to impact you.
Why didn’t anyone in America’s elites see this coming? Think of the magnitude of the failure for a moment. Biden assured the nation — and the world — everything would be fine. Why? Because Blinken told him everything would be fine. What the hell would Blinken know? Nothing — he’s a career bureaucrat, a classic DC insider, who’s never stepped foot outside a first class cabin. Blinken told Biden everything would be OK because the CIA and NSA told him everything would be ok.
So who told them? Well, that’s what they concluded. But how could the world’s most powerful intelligence agencies get all this so incredibly wrong? Because by now, they get everything wrong. Why? Because they’re still fighting the Cold War.”
Ok, no question that the Taliban is brutal, but that is how that part of the world has been. Even with a Trump withdrawal there would still be a reversion back to this at some point. These are not Western people, however much some adopted Western ways. How could this liberal order be maintained when it is falling apart in America as we speak?
What is interesting is that this is typical of material from the Left, that Biden surrendered to the Taliban. And it is true, but it just a return to the non-liberal order that existed, like forever. Conservatives need to hammer this to bring down Biden. Then when he is removed, it will be Harris’ turn, and she will be a giggling push-over. Perhaps even with corrupt voting, there might be such a revolt against the Democrats, that they lose, because the local elites will be bleeding profits by then. Sure, America will collapse, say in a few years, maybe as quick as Afghanistan. But, don’t run dopey traitor Trump again!
