The enemy of my enemy is my friend? Someway, somehow, the MAGA White Nationalists and Neo-Nazis find comfort in the Taliban cause, perhaps extremists overrunning a legitimate government in the name of brutal extremist control over a quivering and scared majority?

Yes, they do seem to like that. Don’t get them wrong, they don’t like Muslims and they don’t like the brownness, but they just think this is all badass according to Vice News:

“I think Islam is poisonous,” said a Proud Boys affiliated account on the encrypted messaging site Telegram. “BUT, these farmers and minimally trained men fought to take their nation back from [world governments]. They took back their national religion as law, and exec*ted dissenters. Hard not to respect that.” Another user wrote, “If white men in the West had the same courage as the Taliban, we would not be ruled by Jews currently,” and yet another simply said, “To be honest, the Taliban is epic.”

Yes, hard not to respect brutally taking the lives of dissenters because why even have the United States of America if one cannot brutally persecute those who disagree with you?

“Though several of the posts spread across multiple accounts salute the victory of the Taliban, they are also quick to point out that they hate the Middle East and people of color,” reported Ben Makuch. “But to the far right, whose number one enemy is the United States government and its global network of allies, seeing the ‘System’ (the shorthand word among the far right for world governments) resisted is a victory for their dystopian worldview.”

It is also clear that the accounts promoting the Taliban victory saw the historical event as a key propaganda victory for the future: This will forever be an example of an American government failure, akin to the fall of Saigon in 1975.

Yet again, we see another MAGA group that sees the left as their enemy and prefers the Taliban over Democratic partners in running America. We suppose that is good since no one would want to partner with groups like that anyway. By “that” we mean the MAGAs, because the Trumpers cheering on a United States failure aren’t that far removed from these Neo Nazis. Not far removed at all.
