They don't know where Herat and Badghis are. Nor how many tribes or religious denominations exist in Afghanistan, nor what are their connections with neighboring countries. Even less the history of the country. They couldn't even name one of the local chiefs. They do not know the population, the per capita income, or the percentages by sex, illiteracy or infant mortality. They do not know everything, but even so they are able to equate the Taliban with the Francoists, or take the example to teach us a lesson about "patriarchy".
There is also the progressivism that is silent, a la Kamala Harris, or that looks at the clock in the middle of the funeral of the thirteen soldiers murdered in Kabul, like Biden. It is the left that does not say anything, that never said it because they are Muslims, and here, in the "hell" of Christianity that they despise so much, they are used to brag about multiculturalism. It is that left that in the vociferous demonstrations of 8-M forgets the rights of women who live in Islam, and focuses on the color pink or the sizes of clothing.
I'm talking about that left, like the Minister of Labor, who chokes on the word “military” and prefers to congratulate the “public workers” who have been in Afghanistan. It is that same contempt that they show to the Forces of Order, like Marlaska allowing the annual humiliation in the Navarran town of Alsasua, but to those who then have for their personal security service. I refer to the Galapagar mansion, which left the neighboring towns without enough civil guards.
The leftists are there always ready to correct us, look down on us from their fatal ignorance and do business. This is the case of Ian Gibson, a leftist writer who allows himself to tell Spain everything that he does wrong and should do, such as proclaiming the Republic or removing Queipo de Llano from his tomb under the altar of the Virgen de la Esperanza Macarena. . Gibson took advantage of the occasion, what a wedding without Aunt Juana, to say that the Civil War soldier was like a Taliban.
It is that left that compares the right with the terrorist fundamentalists while dreaming of drilling the Cross of the Valley of the Fallen and uprooting all traces of Francoism. Those same ones who criticize the lack of freedom, pluralism and civil rights in Taliban Afghanistan, but here they applaud those who shout “fora feixistes dels nostres barris” or “els carrers seran semper nostres” to anyone who is not an independentist.
Or those who raise their hands to their heads because the Taliban are going to control education in their country to determine the vision that the new generations have of their history, and here they publish a manifesto for the Government to review the textbooks and avoid “the blocking of the Historical Memory Law in the classrooms”. They do not want there to be "resistance" from publishers, not even in certain autonomous communities, such as Madrid, Andalusia, Galicia, Murcia, or Castilla y León.
It is that left that affirms, with reason, that Afghanistan is going to be a narco-state, but says nothing about Venezuela and the "Cartel of the Suns" -the "suns" are the stars that distinguish the Venezuelan military high command- . He is silent about the fact that 90% of Colombian cocaine production is distributed from the Chavista paradise. It is a drug that reaches the United States and Europe thanks to the parastatal organization of the Venezuelan drug trafficker, that paradise where people eat "three times a day" and people queue at supermarkets because "they like to chat."
There is no lack of third worldism, of course, and its terrorist variant. Because that left, both the loquacious and the silent, has blamed terrorism on the free market, globalization, climate change caused by capitalism, Israel and the United States. The one that in Spain is sympathetic to ETA and contemptuous of its victims, who do not fit into any law of historical or democratic memory. Now, of course, the left does not know how to explain the phenomenon of terrorism sheltered in Afghanistan because there is no room for equidistance or that "negotiate, you who can."
That left soon found the culprits of the failure among the right, as always, but they immediately closed their mouths. Blame Bush jr. and Aznar, although they kept quiet because they saw that the responsibility passed, among others, to Obama and Zapatero, who approved in Congress the sending of more troops to Afghanistan. They then pointed to Trump, who negotiated the withdrawal with the Taliban, until Biden's botched withdrawal has been a scandal around the world. They were all "fachas" until they were reminded of recent times, and had to back down.
It is very easy to be on the left. It is only necessary to show a lot of indignation and repeat the egalitarian and statist ecofeminist recipes. From there you can release all kinds of barbarities, give lessons, boast of moral superiority, and punish those who do not think or behave the same. And when they adopt silence out of shame, as feminist associations have done, some NGOs, or very committed actors and others, nothing is expected. Not a tweet.
