People get blinded by religious extremism. Those that don’t generally just want to live in peace and don’t want to fight wars to maintain a fragile government that wasn’t even that great to begin with.
We all like to think of ourselves as brave souls who would put down our lives for our ideals but at the end of the day most of us will not actually stand up when the time comes to it.
Afghanistan simply did not have the national consciousness necessary for Afghans to come together in opposition to the Taliban, which was united on ideological/religious grounds.
The Taliban are the worst, It was a real shame that afghanis caved so quickly to them.

Sadly, the Taliban isn’t even the worst. They’re now fighting insurgents from ISIS-K, which is an even more violent and oppressive terrorist group.
Funny how it can always get worse. Not ha-ha funny, though.
i am always extremely sus of any Afghan person i meet. No offense but i know what they had to do to survive
Would you say the same about poor people living in the hood?

Which is a shame because they seemed like they were on a trajectory to become a modern country in the 70’s. Today, they are positively mediaeval. It seems like religion has ruined the region.
Sadly, much more complex than religion. But yes, it’s terrible how much potential has been wasted and how many lives ruined.
