THE TRAPS OF THE WESTERN FAITH. ON THE PURPOSE OF THE "SUFFERING OF AFGHAN WOMEN" UNDER THE TALIBAN REGIME
Today the West is tearing its clothes for the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, initiating a massive propaganda of the consequences of this untimely withdrawal on the welfare and freedoms of Afghan women, through all the media and social networks we contemplate the images of the "Poor little Afghans" in chaos trying to board American planes and ask for a piece of the western paradise of freedom and well-being, the few "poor little Afghans" who knew and enjoyed the western paradise in their own land during the 20 years of illegal occupation.
From the western culture, the images of the stoning, segregation and violation of "human rights" of Afghan women are revived in the retina of poor and rich western men, and we reaffirm with this, our cultural vision of normality and Truth of a society, even suigéneris exclamations are heard, "at least, even if we are poor we have freedom!"
It should not be forgotten that this Western vision of truth and normality has to do with a very particular vision of a culture that was being formed with obvious contradictions, and that it is defended as the one that has evolved, and that has to do with religion. Judeo-Christian, its evolution marked by radical and fundamentalist passages, who does not remember the persecution of the infidels, the crusades, and the obscurantism of the "holy" inquisition or congregation of the holy office, which was created in 1542 to defend religion of the Protestant Communists, who did not want to carry out the canons of the Christian religion, likewise, their evolution in quotation marks, goes hand in hand with the consolidation of the "universal" legitimizing thought that has its foundations in the enlightened thoughts, which we can emblematically exemplify on the banner of the French Revolution, Liberté, égalité, fraternité, (liberty, equality, and fraternity), and laissez fai thought re laissez pasa ((let go, let go), the foundation of the economic liberalism that has built this unequal world without social justice.
From this "evolution in progress", the West has invaded, or at least, has tried to spread and impose a vision of life and truth to the world, there is no doubt that those "sadness" that constricts our souls by destiny of Afghan women has to do with that cultural and epistemic vision, although in the strict sense, like all truth, at least of human, social, and psychological knowledge, it is a subjective vision without scientific support, at least thinking that it is a feeling that this is the way things should be in the world and that if this is not the case, the other is the wrong one and the evil one, although the West lives in its own flesh contradictions and real effects on the lives of its citizens.
The Afghan chaos is the product of the rearrangement of the world's hegemonic forces, we must not forget that the Taliban were fed and armed by the Americans themselves to combat the influence of Russia in the region, at that time it was a necessary evil, which as always It is about justifying those contradictions, to the fall of the Russian invasion in Afghanistan, and the alienation of the Taliban to the Al-Qaeda movement led by the famous Osama Bin Laden, they become enemies of the Western Empire by leading the war to US soil with the 11/11 attacks, which resulted in the invasion of Afghanistan by "Western allies" to protect their strategic interests, and subsequently justify the invasion of the oil-rich country Iraq and the fall of its former ally against the Iran's "fundamentalist" regime Saddan Hussein.
As you see the history of the Empire and its satellite Israel is full of contradictions, they were not to liberate Afghan women from the oppression of Islamic fundamentalism, nor to bring freedom, equality and fraternity, but to take care of their strategic interests in their He fights against other powers such as Russia and China, and just as they arrived, he leaves when they know that his stay in Afghanistan is no longer profitable for him, and to soften his leader in turn to say threateningly: "Biden, affirms that the Taliban must decide if they want recognition international ", or more bombs, abide by the vision of Western normality or there will be new wars. That is the harsh reality.
Now, when he spoke of the suffering that of course Afghan women are going through from our Western perspective, it has to do with the intervention at a psychological level that they caused in that part of the population, because it is not all Afghan women who want to address and even risk their lives to get out of Afghanistan, but those who were Westernly cultured, and those who have caused that crusade not religious or colonial in the old fashion as in America and Africa, but their economic and bellicose crusade, which indirectly made them live and introject the vision of normality and western truth. We must analyze these phenomena of culturalization and alienation, where there are dangerous and deadly traps of faith.
We continue to think that the neoliberal Western narrative is the correct one and even the only true one, and we act racist in considering that other cultures are barbaric and inferior, and that we must convert those infidels to the evolved Judeo-Christian thought, where charity can be accompanied with poverty, freedom with marginalization, and equality no longer exist as a paradise a posteriori (after death), and for few in this life, the American dream.
Everywhere reality spits in our faces that our enlightened western civilization is leaking everywhere, that the contradictions are evident and are clearly visible, however, we continue to insist as a naive Voltaire's optimism that we live "the best of all worlds possible ".
Cornered by a microorganism that we call coronavirus, dotted with the living dead that still unborn are condemned to marginalization and poverty, suffering from hunger despite having food and vast resources on planet earth, seeing the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few countries, and in each country, in the hands of a few families, to see the metalanguage of power and weapons act over the object language (laws, codes, norms, ethics, etc.), to live divided socially and individually, and however, insisting on defending this poor dehumanized Western narrative is nonsense, a setback, a de-evolution if we thought that we were at the top of the pyramid of natural evolution.
The separations that were the milestones that led us to this tragic human condition, the separation between the nome / physis, logos / myth, body / soul, subjectivity / objectivity, signifiers / signification, time / eternity, chaos / order, etc., To understand that we live a fiction that no longer works is to go back by our own steps on the condition that what results is not the same, and with the promise of forgetting our faces.
