â â â decided my delegation doesn't count I feel undermined
When we came to our hawza [police district] and saw the compound, the weapons and the security measures, it was unbelievable how theyâd abandoned such places without firing a single bullet. We were stunned by the cowardice of the [former] army and police. If even a very small number of them had tried to fight us, we couldnât have made it to Kabul for years, given its complexity and the weapons they had. Praise be to Allah, [the victory] was directly because of His help.
The time of jihad was very good for us. I myself, for example, was not responsible for contributing to the livelihood of the family since my other brothers took care of it. They did so because they understood that jihad is obligatory.
Not only this, but at that time, people would also do their best to help, shelter and buy us clothes, shoes and petrol for our motorcycles.
However, everything has changed since then. The family wouldnât tell you blatantly to bring home your entire salary so they can feed your children because itâs no longer a jihad, and you should take that on your shoulders, but you could feel from their behaviour that this is exactly what they mean. Furthermore, when sometimes I want to come from home to Kabul, for example, and I donât have a vehicle to go with, I come to the nearby road so a passer-by could pick me up and drive me to Kandahar. But once an old man with his old Corolla stopped, I thought he did so to pick me up, but he didnât. Rather, he mockingly told me that now the entire government is in your hands, so you no longer deserve help, adding that now itâs your turn to pay back all the help we have given you.
Dozens of women approach the hawza on a daily basis and register their complaints. Theyâre victims, subject to different forms of brutality. The head of the hawza and all other mujahedin pay special attention to solving their problems. During the first days when women approached us, many mujahedin, including myself, were hiding from them because never in our whole lives have we talked to strange women. In the days that followed, the head of the hawza instructed us that sharia does allow us to talk to them because we are now the authorities and the only people that can solve their problems.
The social influence of living in an urban context on these Taleban is noticeable. Our interviewees had a negative picture of Kabul before the takeover, but living in the city has changed their perceptions. Their interaction with women has come a long way from what one could expect, given the Taleban movementâs conservatism. Our interviewee with the female classmate, for example, spoke to the author in the company of a fellow Taleb who, after the interview, jokingly told him, âWhy didnât you tell him the story about when your female classmate started a conversation with you, and you talked to her quite comfortably?â On the streets of Kabul, Taleban fighters have often given interviews and spoken to female YouTubers, an act that would have been completely forbidden throughout the movementâs past (see for example this, this and this video).
Some of our interviewees, and other Taleban, have slowly begun to look critically at their own attitudes and the way they dress and conduct themselves in public. One Taleban fighter told the author in early July 2022 that âI donât know when we [Taleban] will learn to be like normal people. The style most of us have in Kabul [long hair and a style of wide, baggy piran tomban] is very strange at this time and in this situation. The time this style looked good is long gone and we need to adjust to these new circumstances.â The reduction in the number of Taleban carrying AK-47, M416 and M16 guns in bazaars is possibly also stemming from such considerations.

he was referring to today though.
the only gay/trans people who don't use condoms are the doomers who are addicted to meth, molly and nitrous oxide (aka the people who are hiv positive and have kinda given up on like so they just party 24/7 having unprotected sex and unprotected drug use, it's quite sad)
and that is a tiny fraction of the gay community
Somebody find the stats on how HIV has basically fallen off the face of the earth in North America and the west (since the 80s)((because of increased use of condoms))
Prep is pretty sick tbh saves lots of lives
