In this episode, we take a look at what the West has been trying to do to Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban to make them into a modern democracy, and why it s so hard to live up to what they want.
00:00:00.000Let me show you a story from the Insider first that exemplifies this, but we're also going to take a look at some, you know, with the women rights and the kind of art even that they were trying to push on Afghan women to push feminism on them and stuff.
00:00:15.180It's the weirdest thing. But check out this one real quick here first before we look at that clip.
00:00:19.760Several gay Afghans told Insider how they live in fear of their lives after the Taliban's victory.
00:00:25.720Under the previous Taliban rule, the militant group executed gay men.
00:00:28.840In tears, Rahman said that his life has felt like a nightmare ever since Kabul fell to the Taliban.
00:00:34.020The names of the people that Insider spoke to have been changed, of course, right?
00:00:38.100And then they talk about, you know, the sob story or whatever.
00:00:40.240And then there was one guy here. This is kind of...
00:00:44.760Here's one guy, an activist here, an LGBTQ activist, Nemat Sadat.
00:00:50.240He was the first public figure in Afghanistan to advocate for these gay rights.
00:00:55.280But now, of course, he lives in the U.S.
00:00:57.440He told Insider that he's helping gay Afghans apply for asylum.
00:01:02.840So when you see all those flights of people exiting Afghanistan, it's this kind of quality, I guess, that Afghan...
00:01:10.620Ironically, the U.S. is helping the Taliban to purge them of the undesirable elements out of the country.
00:01:19.800And all these liberal LGBTQ pride-to-be activists are going to land in Western European nations, in the U.S., and all this crazy shit, right?
00:01:31.680This is a slice and a sample of what the American regime and some of the other Western countries that were in the region tried to push on Afghan women.
00:01:42.280This is just incredible. This is from an Adam Curtis documentary. Look at this.
00:01:45.340At the same time, thousands of experts and advisers flooded into Afghanistan.
00:01:54.100Their aim was to transform the country into a modern democracy.
00:01:59.100This optimistic vision of a future Afghanistan was celebrated in the Kabul Stadium.
00:02:04.020It was the same stadium where the Russians had celebrated their new market for Afghanistan 20 years before.
00:02:11.020Last year, we think that we never can be alive again. We will die. But now, we are thinking that we are alive again. And we are too happy.
00:02:23.140And also, from America, that they help a lot. We are very appreciative of them. Thanks a lot.
00:02:30.060I think now everything is normal. The man and woman can work in one place. And no any difference between them. And I think everything is going to good day by day.
00:02:43.500And this is our school board. That's your school board. OK.
00:02:50.720All kinds of groups came to Kabul to help the project.
00:02:54.020It was like a snapshot of what those in power in America and Britain believed made democracy work.
00:03:02.860As well as the obvious lessons in how to organise elections and conferences on how to stop the narcotics trade,
00:03:09.420young Afghan students were also given lessons in how to make a conceptual art.
00:04:15.380I mean, the West, and then you have these charades of, like, yes, I have, you know, the voting ink, you know, opportunity, like all these things.
00:04:22.040Like, they think that they are going to be able to push a Western lifestyle on these people.
00:04:31.440But it also shows you that the tools and the things that broke down Western societies and now led us to the breaking point here, essentially, are the same tools that we allow for these guys.
00:04:43.860You know, pop music, and here's modern art, like all this degenerate stuff.
00:04:47.960And, you know, I mean, it's, I don't know.
00:04:50.580They're going to resist it much harder, though.
00:04:59.340I think it's different in our case, too, because we've had subversives that have been within our country more so pushing this kind of stuff on us.
00:05:05.740You know, we've grown up with it and everything.
