      Sounds like his points are making you uncomfortable. It also sounds like you’d rather just eject from the conversation and pretend it never happened than accept that the world is a big, messy, complicated place and your hot takes are actually cold shit.

        His point is that America boosted the economy by turning the place into a giant Opium farm and now a huge part of the Afghan population are crackheads.

        Now the Taliban has outlawed the American drug cartels they don’t make money from it indeed. Not that they’re very profitable anymore since Chinese synthetic fentanyl has taken over the drug market.
