Hey thanks for chiming in! I didn't notice it was the same user. It's pretty sad someone can be this resilient to challenging their own worldview. If they truly were so secure in their knowledge they would interact with the sources provided, yet they fail to do so. At some point you can only assume it's because they're afraid at some level.
It's really disappointing

There was that list of grievances shortly after Taleban taking over. Pretty funny. "Me and my brothers used to ride freely in the sun, now we have to fix the office printer"

Lmao propaganda is when you source your claims so others can check for themselves. It's pretty clear you're just very insecure of your knowledge. At some level you know you're wrong, so you're afraid of being challenged on it.

Lmao thanks for the heads up - what a pathetic dickhead

Yes. Just as I would need us government papers if I were to prove the us government is deliberately committing a genocide. Now what can I do to make you interact with the sources?

You mean the dude pointing out how there's no first hand sources, the report is making use of unofficial translations and the report is in part based on observations made by the us army? Seems like a bit more than just "handwaving" eyewitness testimony to me.

Please be more liberal with the bamhammer. Its fun to push these people around, but it's tiring to see the same dweebs post bigoted shit again and again

~~Hey I'm glad to hear you point out the good faith stuff. I'm interacting with a few of your site buddies and I gotta say, there's a whole lot of bad faith stuff going on, so I'm sorta defensive. I've provided sources a few times now and just get mocked or called a propagandist for it. Not your fault though, so it is unfair to direct the frustration at you.~~

~~I don't expect you to read it all in one go - there's a lot of stuff. We don't have to continue the conversation right now, we can pick it up when you're ready. I will say that I am not the one who gathered those sources, so beyond doing so e fact-checking and investigation on my own on these claims, I am not the most well-educated on the subject. We have a news mega, which is a great place for these exact discussions, which I would highly recommend. I can try to answer any questions you might have, though I think users like @[email protected] or @[email protected] would be much better for any question that isn't super basic. I'll do my best though, and I'm certain there's a lot I could learn. Again for any real in-depth discussion I'd recommend the news mega.~~

Edit: nevermind you're the asshole troll that couldnt read a single source given to you in that thread before. Fuck me for assuming good faith and fuck you

Had a family member stationed on a shared base with americans. He could not say one good thing about them. Their base itself was shit, everything was just destroyed. The americans would comer over to his side of base all the time, because it was "cozy" (they had chairs that weren't destroyed by some roided up grunt). The americans would pull out a big projector screen every friday, pull out barbeques and then watch live drone footage as they hooted and hollered. The meat was shit too. Not that the shitty base and the shitty meat matters at all, it's just to illustrate that all the horrors inflicted upon the locals was so some grillman could eat terrible food in a broken chair in an ugly home.

He had to participate in an operation once. Some local who was working as a chef on base was suspected of being an Al Qaeda member (he wasn't). The briefing was 10 minutes, the captain had named the operation "Operation Fuck Shit Up". The briefing was mainly just to get these overly aggressive dudes to be hyped about doing their "job".
They went to were the afghani lived (a tent), which was a small settlement full of very chill people that all had jobs depending on the base. Instead of knocking or checking with family or anything, or just driving in a normal car like normal people to have a chat, they rolled out in a fucking tank. Then they cut his tent open (one cut for each individual) and destroyed the insides - The dude wasn't home.
They then found him "hiding" (working at his second job) somewhere else, where they did indeed Fuck Shit Up. They beat up the guy, they beat up others at the place, they destroyed the interior.

The US had the highest rate of blue-on-blue violence, and it was very obvious why. He said they would pray that americans didn't answer calls for help, because it would just make things worse.

"Some of you may be willing to die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make" but unironically

Russians are employing this dastardly new technology called "mines" which no army on earth has encountered before, least of all those of the NATO members like France, Germany and the UK.
