    The poster is Chinese, and regularly writes about struggling with cultural expectations with regards to traditional Chinese familial norms. If I wrote that white American family cultural norms were fucked, as a partly-white American, would that make me racist? Not only that, but families are placed at the midpoint, not the fucked-up ‘end’ of the drawing.





















  • We had to pull out eventually; we couldn’t keep propping up the national government forever. But Trump’s deal which released some 5,000 veteran Taliban fighters (with the final offensive consisting of no more than 80,000 Taliban fighters in total), and did so without involving the national government in negotiations at all, sealed the fate of post-war Afghanistan. With the Taliban significantly reinforced and the national government humiliated and stripped of what little legitimacy it had by peace negotiations held without its input, there was no other way it was going to go.

    That these tankie fucks positively bootlick the Taliban just makes them more repulsive in light of that.
