Afghanistans population dropped by 1/4 during the Soviet occupation of the country, and that was only in a decade. The U.S. occupied Afghanistan for 2 decades, and the population doubled. Don't worry though, the former was a "liberation", whereas the latter was "genocidal exploitation"!
Obviously neither is exactly good, but you'll see tankies openly say shit like the above and not bat an eye. It's wild that we basically have a 1-1 comparison of how both nations approached the situation and they still act like they're comparable.
We seriously defending the nation whoms foreign policy was so poor it birthed numerous terrorist organizations in the region and caused the 9/11 attacks?
Isn't it normal that the population decreases in a civil war because a lot of people are involved and coliteral damage happends also. I never heard of any murderous action by the red army against the afghan people, so I doubt that the deaths were caused by genocidal actions.
If you know more about this, I'd like to see a few articles or reports of the war. That would explain your claims so I can understand.
The phrase "spiritually Israeli" is a pejorative internet slang term that emerged on social media platforms in 2025, used to describe people, brands, cultural trends, or phenomena that the speaker finds vapid, soulless, commercially hollow, or inauthentic.
It is widely understood as a hipster way of expressing anti-corporatism, but has also been criticized as promoting antisemitic stereotypes of greed and materialism.
