true, much of it is behind a paywall.. but the video at the top of the page is viewable.

another problem tho is it might be fake news, and a fake video, if coming from WSJ, so what might it be like really in afghanistan? I suspect most people there support the taliban and are glad the US left, which is why they laid down their arms and didn't fight to defend their country. I suspect most women want to wear their hijabs and be told what to do by the taliban men.

the video does not look fake at all.. i see men carrying assault weapons.. i see women agressively protesting.. its difficult to fake that.

well the way they fake video is only showing certain angles so the crowd looks bigger, hiring crisis actors, they might even use deep fake technology.

when the video shows the entire crowd and in high resolution, it shows the taliban carrying assault weapons and it shows the ladies screaming in protest...

i find it difficult to think that the camera angle affects my ability to see what is happening.

tho, i must admit, in order for me to really understand their situation i would need to walk in their shoes.

i can assure you of one thing and that is that muslims do not want to be governed by non muslims... i promise you this much.

i find it extremely unlikely that these are crisis actors..

i do believe that the crowd in a "biden rally" might be crisis actors.

I'm sure taliban carries weapons that is surely not fake

the women I think just a minority are against it. And they might be getting paid to protest by NGOs.

Yeah so if muslims don't want to be governed by non muslims, they are ok with the taliban then, who are muslims?

you have no idea what you are talking about.. you are pulling these ideas out of your imagination.

And they might be getting paid to protest by NGOs.

yeah, extremely unlikely.

i have prayed with active members of taliban, what about you?

you are imagining these things that you are thinking.

i, on the other hand, actually know what i am talking about.

That sounds like an interesting experience. I'm pretty sure I've never even spoken to a moslem in real life.

I'm pretty sure I've never even spoken to a moslem in real life.

i am pretty sure that you are wrong about that... have you ever been into a corner store? ever spoken to the cashier?

yup. like that. you have spoken to a muslim.

why so defensive? bottom line is wsj is fake news
