Well, Taraki was the first socialist leader of Afghanistan that gave equal rights to all women in Afghanistan, not just Kabul. He wasn't a communist, as CIA portrayed him to the world (Wikipedia still does) and did a lot of good before he was removed by a radical extreme communist (many say he was an MI5 recruit) who closed mosques, attacked elders and religious institutes paving the way for Mujahedin to use it as ground for declaring Jihad against them.

And the Soviet invasion was mostly a consequence of United States meddling in Operation Cyclone. Destabilization was the point.

The color disappeared in 1945 Germany too. There is plenty of debris in the streets.

These people are either assholes or total idiots.

It wouldn't surprise me if they are both.

They think 23 months of war, 100s thousands of bombs spread blowers and leaves pretty shiny buildings behind

Is this like one of those weight loss before/after? Like why is there no color?

What would that have to do with weight loss? It seems to me that it’s all rubble, hence the color.

Nah look at the sand on the top of the image. There are no buildings there, so why is it vividly colored in the top image and has zero colors in the bottom image? Someone has turned up the saturation on the top image to 11 and 0 on the bottom image.

Like what is happening in Gaza is terrible, but stuff like this just gives the other side something to shoot at. And I feel the image would hit harder if it were a fair comparison, so the same settings for both. The beach still being beach colored and the streets being gray with rubble would hit hard.

The reason he mentioned weight-loss is because it's a trope that people showing before and after pictures of weight-loss often use techniques like this to show a more pronounced (or even any) effect. In the before they have bad posture, use an unflattering angle and reduce the colors to make them look worse. In the after picture they have perfect posture (often even holding in a breath and clenching muscles), use a good angle and crank up the saturation a bit.

And where do you think all that dust and rubble from the homes that have been destroyed goes?? You can see the wet dust on the coastline, obviously the water is a lot darker with all the rubble getting blown and maybe even bulldozed into it...

why is it always a fedditorger with the trivializations of the palestinian holocaust?? Like why do you think messing with the color palette is even necessary?

You can see the yellow sand in the ground pictures, just like in the before picture, except for turning the color up in that one. You see nothing at all in the after picture. Same (still standing) red roofs are mostly grey, the water is mostly grey, everything is grey. Very unlike the ground pictures.

The people there have to deal with the horrors of war on a daily basis. No need to doctor images. The sheer destruction, which is easier to see in the ground pictures anyway, is plenty of proof.

Predominant. But you can still see color. And the ocean is gray too? The image here seems like a filter.

The natural soil/sand is reddish brown, concrete dust and explosive residue is gray.

It's almost like Israel themselves have said hundreds of times that they intend to destroy literally everything in Palestine, including the Earth it sits on. And here you are still trying to cover for them, pathetic.

This might surprise you but carpetbombing an entire city tends to destroy most of the colourful materials and cover what's left in gray dust

Look I'm not trying to simp for the Israelis, but this looks modified with a color filter. The water is even grey.

Yeah you're right, large amounts of dust never lands in the water.

Water inside an inlet doesn't move much, you can even see it's darker inside the inlet with clouds of coloration exiting the mouth.

Ah I remember you, you were the dude who went crazy arguing with everyone that 300k per year income makes you middle class. Is this what you do here lol.

Never made an argument about it. I told you it was a dumb hill to die on, and so is this.

I noticed you had no retort to my last statement, care to try or are you unable to prove me wrong LOL.

I'm sure there is major destruction, but all I can see on the after image is a heavy color filter that makes it seem like dusty, and harder to look at details

i imagine it's from all the concrete dust from every building in the area being obliterated

You reached the end
