You’re like really mad about this while being completely obtuse. Relax.
The Mujahedeen weren’t as organized or as unionized, they were scrambled together to fight the Russians. When that was over another imperial force was pushing onto them, now organized they sort of merged with radicalized groups to form what is the Taliban. I had to Google his name but Jalauddin Haqqani is an exact example of what I mean, cut his teeth fighting Russians and moved to fighting US/NATO.
The ideology they share is main entire reason they were fighting in the first place that you’re completely overlooking. The entire reason any of this happened. To fight imperial powers, to remove them from their country. Which is the same thing the sons of liberty wanted hence the comparison.
They’re not vaguely nonsecular afghan paramilitaries. They’re people motivated to fight western influence and were lining up under dozens of labels to do so.

… fucking what
What ‘another imperial force’ was ‘pushing onto them’ in 199 fucking 4, other than the one supporting the Taliban itself, Pakistan??

“The Taliban is anti-imperialist” is the entire idiotic take that this is against. The Taliban is literally an imperialist tool of Pakistan and whose entire existence and rise to power postdates the Soviet invasion and predates the American invasion.
Jesus fucking Christ.
How is this hard to understand?
It’s hard to understand because it’s utter nonsense with no relation to facts as they actually occurred.
