Somehow it manages to be worse every day. What’s happening there is extremely sad and the worst thing is that there doesn’t seem to be light at the end of the tunnel.

But like... why? Does their religion actually have some angst with music, or is this another one of those "god told me so in a dream!" kinda bullshit?

...well fuck, I didn't actually expect the former. This world would be so much better without that religious nonsense. -_-

I mean, I could have just offered myself up to be corrupted by these "immoral" instruments. If they didn't want the instruments around, they could have let me take them.

Honest question, what do they do for fun? It seems like basically every Western recreational activity is banned and their jihad is over, so how do these people occupy the time?

One pastime involves racing logs down the river that are being floated down... some of em don't make it. Crazy kids.

The Taliban instead enjoy singsongs, which are chants (by men) without music, about jihad or this or that, you know.
