Taliban Endorses Twitter Over Threads

Anas Haqqani, a senior leader in the Taliban, has officially endorsed Twitter over Facebook-owned competitor Threads.

“Twitter has two important advantages over other social media platforms,” Haqqani said in an English post on Twitter. “The first privilege is the freedom of speech. The second privilege is the public nature & credibility of Twitter. Twitter doesn’t have an intolerant policy like Meta. Other platforms cannot replace it.”

Twitter has fallen out of favor with many people since Elon Musk took over the company last year…The Taliban, however, seems to love it. Two Taliban officials even bought blue verification check marks after Musk started selling them in January.

Haqqani noted that the biggest draw of Twitter was this lax moderation policy…Facebook and TikTok both view the Taliban as a terrorist organization and disallow them from posting. It’s a ban that persists to this day.

This is not a good look. The Taliban supporting something is never good.

A handful of years ago, US Republicans were losing their shit over Muslims and the Taliban, basically saying they were the biggest threat. I’m honestly waiting for them to realize that their views are almost completely aligned with the Taliban’s. Both against abortion and LGBTQ rights, both want religion in schools and to get rid of the separation of church and state, etc. It doesn’t at all surprise me that Republicans and the Taliban have the same preferred social media.

That’s because they’re both authoritarians.

It’s the same reason Tankies hate Nazi’s when they’re both essentially the same thing in practice despite their economic outlooks being opposite. Authoritarianism is authoritarianism, everything else is just a different flavor.

Christian authoritarians think they’re good and muslim’s sharia law bad, but in reality they’re just two religions trying to force their shit on everyone else. They physically cannot see that it’s the same because to them it’s “morally correct” and therefore not authoritarianism.

It’s the Taliban, the appropriate action is to ignore everything they say because they’re religious extremists who commit violent actions against random citizens of their own and other nations.

I they said Twitter was bad and endorsed Threads would you still give a shit? lol

Pretty funny to see a member of the Taliban espouse freedom of speech. I really doubt that

It’s just like Elons definition. To these people freedom of speech means freedom to say what they want and not be challenged by pesky things like facts.
