Just like #January6th the #Afghanistan withdrawal is a media-State production
On snapchat's map, or via firsthand Afghan accounts we can see Kabul is peaceful and Afghan daily life goes onβonly the airport was chaotic *bc of US promises to 'evac' everyone*

January 6th, most of DC, and the US writ large, was just business as usual. You can go back and see your credit card activity or texts or work emails and see what you were up to, lol. Outside of a few LARPers 'saving democracy' (some in the know, some useful idiots)βcalm

No one was ever going to 'overthrow the US govt' by breaking into a random Congressional office and tossing papers around. That's now how #Insurrection works. The US is 300MM+ people over 4 MM sq miles. It has a military with nukes lol. What a totally moronic proposal!
and yet..

and yet this virtual near collapse, this pretend powerβdelighted in by MAGAt*rds and made-much-ado by hysterical people like AOC and the Press (they are LARPing, but in-the-know) has consumed our discourse
why? bc it lets the incumbent State justify itself and further powers

Not a single US soldier or American has been killed, or even substantially harmed, in the Afghan withdrawal. The US media keeps making allusions to a 'slaughter' that is coming, or abandoning "afGhAN aLliEs". Thrown to the wolves!π
The Taliban keep stating a general amnesty lol

They explicitly DGAF about revenge, and want to govern their own country according to a bog standard Sharia law in force from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan (US military allies lol)
but imagine if there were an orderly withdrawal without the US encouraging chaos/a flood of Afghansβ

βimagine if no riot cops were there on January 6th, and the same scenes of people lamely walking around before being asked to leave were the only ones that played out?
in other words; imagine Afghanistan or MAGA discontent WITHOUT barbarians at the gate imagery for months on end

Btw, that's the actual material reality β no overthrow of the US govt was sought or possible on January 6th, no mass slaughter is sought or desired by the Taliban led govt of Afghanistanβwithout such imagery though the US Govt in both cases looks much less legitimate
that's why!
that's why!
