Does this picture represent the average Afghan at the time? I have a feeling that back than there was a tiny westernized minority in the larger cities, but the majority were still forcing their women to wear burkas etc. Then the Taliban took over and started to oppress this small urban westernized minority, destroying their way of life.
>>
>>1535957
Don't be a fool.

The people you see in this pic were the top 1% elites. It's not representative, the average Afghan woman back then lived in a bumfuck village, wore the veil just as her female ancestors did and had never attended a school.

There are different Afghanistan ethnicities. Tajiks tend to be very secular, and most of the Islamic Golden Age was due to their ancestors even.

Pashtun and Hazara wee the idiots living in bumfuck villages.

I take it you're an American considering you don't know shit about Afghanistan? You do realize, Tajiks are actually whiter than you and many cluster more closely to Proto-Indo-Europeans, even?

I'm not at all for Communism, but so far it was the most effective ideology to counter Islamism. The few relevant Muslim groups that are currently secular pretty much became that way after embracing a form of Communism. Pic related, Kurdish Nationalists became pretty much the only non-fundamentalist group after based Apo came along and converted them to his version of Marxism. Other examples are Azerbaijan and Albania and to a lesser extent, the Central-Asian Turkic nations: all successfully secularized after a long history with Communism. Even though I don't like it as an economic system, I have to admit that it proved to be the best antidote for Islamism, which is still much worse.

They should not be the majority. There is a significant Tajik population too, and they are the ones that deserve to be the majority. If the USA really cared about stabilizing Afghanistan, it would be culling the Pashtun instead. The Tajiks were the ones that were secular.

The Hazara are poor leftovers of the Mongol invasions, but they deserve to be helped to some extent. They are easily brainwashed due to being poor.

It is true, the Pashtun are the radicalized ones, and they are better off never to have existed.
>>
>>1536085
There are about 38-46% Pashtun and 37-39% Tajiks. It would be desirable to massacre the Pahstun instead of the Tajiks, but the Americans did the reverse because they are fucking bonehead retards.

Most images of progressive Westerners themselves didn't represent the average Westerner of their time either. That tiny, affluent minority under a normal and prosperous nation-state goes on to influence the rest of the country through media, economics, and bureaucracy.

The Taliban only took over when this demographic was all but wiped out after decades of war with the Russians, and later among war lords.

No, in the 90s there was factually no army, only warring factions of the Muj. The presidency that existed had no troops and even most commies were huddled around Dostum. The defection happened in the late 70s and was the main fucking reason why commies had to call in Soviets to help.

Most Pashtuns are not savage. Pashtuns are only savage due to environment, their nomadic spot and lack of outside exposure(Pak doesn't count). Many Pashtuns don't even speak a word of Pashto and are thoroughly different(see: Kabol). If Pashtuns dropped their tribal systems the way Tajiks did hundreds of years ago, they would be better off. To speak of ethnic cleansing is terrible though, no matter how low they are, these people should be educated and brought into the modern world.

Pashtuns have no real history unfortunately, unlike Tajiks they did not record history, but instead passed down history orally. Unfortunately for historians, much of this is intertwined with myth. They claim to be the lost tribe of Israelites, Arab warriors, but also real Aryans in the same breath. In reality they are a mixed folk, very similar to Baloch, having extensively mixed with Tajiks, Turks, Punjabis, Semitics, Whites, etc.

Here is a brief rundown:
>Once recorded by Hindus as Pactyans, yet no other mention of this again, ever.
>Arachoisans and Gedrosians name to fellow Iranians
>Cause Alexander to lose half his army due to inhospitable environment
>Invade Balkans, conquer slavs, and gift name unto Croatians.
>Fairly quiet since overshadowed by Bactrians and Sughdians up north.
>Fairly quiet since overshadowed by Khorasan up north
>Turks invade and after genociding Tajiks decide to settle in modern-day Pashtun land.
>After many years of being ruled by Persians, Tajiks, and Turks finally decide to try conquering for once.
>Empire falls apart quickly
>Now have own state that is non-Pashtun majority.

These Pashtuns as an actual group have only existed for 5-400 years.

Also idiots. Not surprising the Pashtun are similar, and you're right, Pashtun are a bunch of hypocritical barbarians who claim to be "Israelites, Arab warriors, but also real Aryans" all in the same breath.

I can tell you they are definitely not Aryans like the Ossetians, Yaghnobi people, Tajiks, or Pamiri peoples.
>>
>>1541011
That dude is a Persian.

>>1541015
Aryan is just an ethnonym used by Iranians and an religious term used by Indians. It doesn't really matter that Iranians are aryan, although it is always strange to hear whites use it.
>>
>>1541031
Iranians are not Aryan, but heavily influenced by the Aryans -- with some admixture with Aryans. Their pre-Islamic ethos are Aryan - however. If we are to discuss who genetically clusters with the Indo-Iranians/Indo-Aryans, then it'd be Tajiks, Pamiris, Yaghnobi people, and Ossetians. They are descendants of those who formed the Avestan beliefs that then spread to Iran and was taken up by the natives who mixed with them to a small extent. Even the Shahnameh makes it clear Zoroastrian beliefs began in Turan (that is Central Asia and all of those ethnic groups I listed), and then spread to Fars region (i.e., Iran). There was a time Turan and Iran were united and strong.

So yeah, Pashtun are a bunch of barbaric bastards killing the noble people of Turan. Pashtun don't even practice Nowruz or other Aryan holidays.
>>
>>1541047
>not aryan
Aryan as an ethnonym or ethnicity is ONLY found in Iranian languages. Only the Iranian peoples and ALL Iranian peoples, including Pashtuns are Aryan.

>Unlike the several meanings connected with ārya- in Old Indo-Aryan, the Old Persian term only has an ethnic meaning.[35][36]
>Strabo mentions the unity of Medes, Persians, Bactrians and Sogdians:[39]

The name of Ariana is further extended to a part of Persia and of Media, as also to the Bactrians and Sogdians on the north; for these speak approximately the same language, with but slight variations.

—Geography, 15.8
>The trilingual inscription erected by Shapur's command gives us a more clear description. The languages used are Parthian, Middle Persian and Greek. In Greek the inscription says: "ego ... tou Arianon ethnous despotes eimi" which translates to "I am the king of the Aryans". In the Middle Persian Shapour says: "I am the Lord of the EranShahr" and in Parthian he says: "I am the Lord of AryanShahr".[40][46]
>The Bactrian language (a Middle Iranian language) inscription of Kanishka the Great, the founder of the Kushan Empire at Rabatak, which was discovered in 1993 in an unexcavated site in the Afghanistan province of Baghlan, clearly refers to this Eastern Iranian language as Arya[47][48]
>In Iranian languages, the original self-identifier lives on in ethnic names like "Alans", "Iron".[37] Similarly, the word Iran is the word for land/place of the Aryan.[25]


>pre-islam
Islam is very similar to Zoroastrianism(veils, monotheism, veneration, etc). Zoroaster went against the prevailing pagan gods and as such, Zoroastrianism is much closer to Islam than it is to pagan religions like Jupiter or whatever.

>Shahnameh
The Shahnameh was composed thousands of years later and is an epic poem legend, not an historical document.

>Aryan as an ethnonym or ethnicity is ONLY found in Iranian languages.
Tajiks speak an Eastern Iranian language too. Even Ossetians speak it.

>ALL Iranian peoples, including Pashtuns are Aryan.
Azeris and Pashtun are not Aryan -- they are Turkic mongrels who bastardize our heritage. Baloch are Arab mongrels. Check here: >>1540994

Mazanderan and Gilaks are mixed with people of Transcaucasia but they still respect Persian ethos and are thus OKAY. It has to do with respecting the sacrifices of one's forefathers, or what one takes to be one's forefathers.

Azeri, Baloch, and Pashtun betray our Avestan heritage.

>The name of Ariana is further extended to a part of Persia and of Media, as also to the Bactrians and Sogdians on the north; for these speak approximately the same language, with but slight variations.
I agree.

>Islam is very similar to Zoroastrianism(veils, monotheism, veneration, etc).
Islam is against henotheism, which is what Zoroastrianism was. Zoroastrianism began as polytheistic in the Land of Tur but became more henotheistic as it spread to Iran. Henotheism is incompatible with the extreme monotheism of Islam which destroys all plurality in approaches.

>The Shahnameh was composed thousands of years later and is an epic poem legend, not an historical document.
The Shahnameh was based off folklore and the traditions that spread from word of mouth. Also, most of the Shahnameh's elaborate, exhaustive exposition of Sassanid history is accurate. The Shahnameh actually recasts a lot of Zoroastrian figures as historical figures, and it does metaphorically convey Iranian and Turan history.

>. Some, especially among Tajik areas in the city did celebrate it.

That's because the Tajiks and Iranians have a strong ethno-cultural connection with non-Azeri, non-Baluch Persians.

Ethnic diversity is not good -- it can lead to the weakening of ethos. Even Khomeini was not ethnically Persian and just Azeri scum.

Not sure what your point is here, my point is that all Iranian peoples are Aryan. Eastern Iranian and Western Iranian are all Aryan.

>Pashtuns and Azeris
Pashtuns are primarily Irano-Afghan and speak Pashto and Dari/Tajiki, bad thing about them is stupidity, exact same case with Baloch. Azeris are racially Iranoid and are only Turkic in language, which is quickly dieing out. They were Iranian too for most of their history until Greekshits invited Gokturks because they couldn't beat the Sassanids in a fair fight, thankfully Greekshits got what they deserved in the end.

>Zoroastrianism
Zoroastrianism was always monotheistic and always against false pagan pantheon, Zoroastrianism was very tolerant in Acheamenid times, but after barbarian invasion realized they were too lenient. Zoroastrianism is more similar to Islam than any other religion extant. Islam is like the child of Zoroastrianism, I hope you didn't believe retard western memes about Zoroastrianism.
>Five prayers a day

>Shahnameh
The Shahnameh is a cultural text and icon. Shahnameh is easily accurate for Sassanids, who were ruling only a few centuries before. But Parthians and Acheamenids, let alone ancient migrations? These were not as easy to communicate orally, and are much more sparse in the Shahnameh. Everything for Zoroaster is folk legend and speculation at best, it seems likely he was from Balkh, but we will never know for certain.

Why the hell didn't we just partition this shithole when we had the chance?

There's plenty of land full of Tajiks that is contiguous to Tajikistan, and Turkomens to Turkmenistan, and Uzbeks to Uzbekistan. Hell, hand over the Baluchi and Pashto majority areas to Pakistan and leave the rest to take care of itself.

Politics is always more harmonious and better in ethnically homogenous nation-states. Smaller states would be more able to centralize and modernize quickly than the unwieldy monster that is Afghanistan.

No, I am saying if you test it in higher socioeconomic areas, then you'd get a higher score, and the region is unstable due to many factors.

For example, if you get IQ of only rednecks in the South of the USA, then it's going to be low. There are a lot of factors you have to consider.

The 1950s of Iran was shortly after a famine and political instability, so the IQ score would not be a good representation. There were more rural people at that time period than people in cities going for education, but it is changing now.

The Afghan government tried to go Commie and the people didn't want to go Commie. The people revolted and started kicking the governments ass so the government called the Soviets for help. In response, the people called America and proceeded to kick the Soviets ass too. So to answer your question in short: the Cold War happened. Despite what memers like >>1535959 say, most of the mujahideen were moderates. The Taliban only gained control of the government after 4 years of civil war and even then the civil war continued and lasted until 2001. It quite literally lasted until the U.S. gained full control of Afghanistan in October. Much of the conflict that still exists in Afghanistan is the pretty much the same civil war which started in 1992.

Afghan here. So basically the reason (I assume) for us fucking up is the fact that Islam is a political religion. Sure Christians are more likely to be conservative and that gay shit, but Islam has a set of rules based on political affiliation.

I believe if Islam stayed the fuck away, I would actually like it. BTW, I'm an American Buddhist now. I had a big Buddha statue in my home village until it was destroyed.

>I'm not at all for Communism, but so far it was the most effective ideology to counter Islamism
m8 please.

the USSR suppressed all religions, including othodox christianity. occasionally the government tried to regain support of the orthodox church to gain strategic support, but afterwards they were suppressed again.


historically though, the lands of asia, around Kazakhstan and surrounds, were not islamic. the only reason they have such "strong" islamic populations these days is the backlash against the suppression in the USSR days.

however, the areas are traditionally Orthodox Asian Christian, and aboriginal religions like zoroastrian, and paganism

You cannot be both Tajik and Pashtun. You have to pick one.

in europe around the time of the first plague epidemic, the values of wit, intelligence, and cleverness were starting to prove more useful than piety and fealty.

when will this happen in central asian nations?

Nobody identifies as "Afghan". It's like saying "I'm Soviet".
>>
>>1546032

Or like saying "I'm Ukrainian."

>>1546014
I'm both, I speak both languages too. Pashtuns and Tajiks for the most part look the same too so I fit in with both.

The fact that they dont actually have the ability to export anything. They live in a useless desert. People who grow drugs can literally afford mercenaries (taliban) to outnuscle local police.

There's a reason why Pakistan flies F-16s and India flies MiGs.

>What popular support did they have considering the entire country exploded in a revolt?

Like Libya and Syria today, the rebels were on the verge of defeat until the West swooped in to save them.
