    This is not an actual Taliban tweet and I recommend editing the title.

    This is likely some white moron with a hate fetish for Muslims and Afghans, and most probably given their tweets women, LGBT people and Jews.

    This is their actual twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/mofa_afg?lang=en Mostly just typical diplomacy stuff.

      Yes, I suspected it as well. Can’t quite point as to what specifically, but something about the phrasing this tweet uses sounds very much like the way westerners talk when they try to parody DPRK media.

      And also, “Public Relation Department”… What country would name their institution a “Public Relations Department”? I appreciate you confirming that this is indeed not a real account.

        I used to think IKEA make good furniture (well they are pretty good actually if you compare it with the atrocious junk usually sold in Poland) until i met a carpenter who is making me furniture both better and cheaper, even if they aren’t as fancy, but i don’t care.

          Basically same. I went to consignment stores and scooped up some used stuff and it’s so much nicer and probably going to last forever if I take care of it.

      It is… satire? Garbage humor by some western moron who either genuinely salivates over the death of Jews and LGBT people or thinks Afghanis are savages.

        Because I’d imagine they would have bigger problems to solve. How’s that famine going?

          Afaik writing a tweet is much faster than fighting famine and can be done in the meantime. By no mean comparing the two, but would you say to Lenin in 1921 that he can’t write because there is hunger in RSFSR?

    I’m glad to see that the taliban has a sense of humor. If they really say that the swedish embassy must effectively have a permanent pyre of ikea furniture as policy though, that sounds iffy.

      Is it by wrecking what’s left of their industry? I distinctly recall post-Soviet republics, and especially formerly Soviet-adjacent states bragging about “reducing emmisions after kicking them commies out”. That was “achieved” via dismantling Soviet-era industry.

        This has gotta be some western LARPer or misguided (racist) satire, right?

        Sildenafil is basically viagra. Not to mention the Cartman from South Park levels of antisemitism and accusing randoms of being homosexuals constantly. It’s just fucking strange, like an MRA’s wet dream.

        edit: because of course it is.

          Had my suspicion when I read a tweet about a canal being finished without homosexual being involved. But I couldn’t find a disclaimer lol. Now I know what commentary is.

            Yeah I wasn’t aware of why they had “commentary” in their bio. I would say that this account is in violation of Twitter’s TOS for not being clear about its existence as… “parody”, albeit shitty parody.

    Please burn it [IKEA furniture] outside the Swedish embassy instead.

    Reminds me of Danish politician Rasmus Paludan burning the quran in front of the Turkish embassy

      Isn’t burning the Qur’an one of the many ways to safely dispose a Qur’an?

      Also (since I’m pretty sure he was trying to get the ire of muslims), shouldn’t he burn it in front of the embassy of a far more religious country (like Iran, West Asian countries, Afghanistan) rather than a secular one like Turkey’s? I swear, Rightists are the most dumbest people in the planet.

          I’m pretty sure the no true Scotsman fallacy doesn’t really exist, but I’m partially basing it on some left-com’s quora on why they don’t support aes that I read more than a year ago, so take it with a grain of salt

      They have lots of Twitter accounts, I saw some interacting with Sameera Khan in English, I’ll try to dig some up for you. (She tweets so much it will be difficult.)
