The State Department even sent out a tweet, the purpose of which was to reassure the most progressive segment of the American public that the Biden administration was on its side. Unfortunately, the Biden administration has proven to be very much not on the side of the Afghan people, whom it has dumped into the jaws of a dragon. <\/p>\n<p>Today, some Taliban fighter is using that flag to clean his hindquarters, if he even cares enough about woke American chatter to know what it is. A thing that Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi, and the entire US State Department and Department of Defense don\u2019t seem to get is that virtue signaling is hollow and pointless without virtue, and the mother of all virtues is courage. No courage to stick up for Western values, and Western values go poof. <\/p>\n<p>Kabul fell in eight hours. Now there\u2019s not much for us to be proud of in Kabul, or even in the Kabul US Embassy, a $700 million building that is now a playhouse for some of the world\u2019s worst men. In Afghanistan, there is no gay pride. No women\u2019s rights, either. No human rights, just total submission to medieval barbarism or (feel free to choose more than one option from the Taliban menu) rape, torture and murder.

Tom Cotton, who served in the infantry in both Iraq and Afghanistan, noted this summer that he has received hundreds of complaints about ideological inculcation in the military. \u201cOne Marine told us that a military history training session was replaced with mandatory training on police brutality, white privilege, and systemic racism,\u201d Cotton told Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. \u201cAnother servicemember told us that their unit was required to read \u2018White Fragility\u2019 by Robin DiAngelo which claims, and this is a quote, \u2018white people raised in Western society are conditioned into a white supremacist world view.\u2019 \u201d <\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>West Point cadets are being forced to attend classes on \u201cWhiteness and white rage,\u201d as though the soldier\u2019s mission is not to protect the country from external threats but to search his own soul for microaggressions and cultural <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ropriation. <\/p>\n<p>Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Congress in June, \u201cI want to understand white rage, and I\u2019m white\u201d in the course of suggesting that this was the cause of the Capitol riot, which more temperate observers blamed not on toxic whiteness but on a few hundred amped-up Trump supporters. <\/p>\n<p>Like the famous guns at Aqaba that Lawrence of Arabia correctly figured were pointing the wrong way, leaving the port shockingly vulnerable from the other direction, the attention of the Democratic Party has been focused all year on fellow Americans with whom they have trivial differences rather than on actual evildoers, the ones who sentence homosexuals to death by stoning.<\/p>\n<p> Approaching all world actors as though they can be canceled by a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> mob is now entrenched in the Democratic imagination.
