Update: having now read the article, it's really important we talk about the legacy of white supremacy that continues to generate disparate outcomes. Every crime has two victims: the person of crime is a victim, too, arguably the biggest one.

@michaelcurzi This is why I think being woke and being alt right are basically the same thing. It's an ideology for the online. If you're powerless, dont own anything, and need an enemy, these state religions are there to let you hate your neighbor and be content doing nothing

Seeing all those young men at Kabul airport is a reminder that in 2030 Afghanistan will still have a median age below 25.
Expect trouble for some time to come.
