There's a big debate on r/witchcraft about whether or not a mass hexing of the Taliban would work, I'm not taking a side in this issue and only wish to see a healthy discussion before any action is taken. pic.twitter.com/eGoTBEveot

You might remember that I made a bait post on r/Witchcraft, thanks to (probably) SRDines it seems to have made rounds over the internet. A blue checkmark twatter user posted about the earlier thread and my bait post which has led to some hilarious results
First of all it has somehow made the news lmfao: https://dailydot.com/debug/reddit-witchcraft-taliban-hex/?amp&__twitter_impression=true
/pol/ also found out about the debacle through twitter:

Let me know if I've missed anything, I just got back and I'm shocked at how effective this bait was.
Oh and of course Bardfinn is also a witch

I'm with the witches on this.
It's bizarre that any slightly educated person dabbling in the occult would think the Taliban are "protected".
Honestly, if you are going to role play in twitter and make a few occult sacrifices, then go all the way and LARP creating as much destruction towards the Taliban as you can. I wonder if the magic would work if they got the heart of George Bush Jr, and maybe Cheney while they're at it.

To be fair if you believe magic is secretly real YA novel style, it makes sense other people would be aware of that fact (especially the superstitious + religious types)
Like Saudia Arabia unironically has a magical crimes division. Why not the Taliban?

The ones with any level of self-awareness know their hexes won't do jack shit to stop the taliban and trying and failing will ruin the suspension of disbelief that they work anywhere else.

Nah people into astrology will make vague as possible statements to say predictions are correct. Same can be applied here by claiming the hex worked if the taliban loses so much as one city or a leader to a small uprising sometime on the next year.
This morning, Cum went to the park. I went with Coom. And Cum brought Coomer frisbee. At least I think it was Coomers. By the end of the day, Cum started throwing the frisbee to Cumself.

The Taliban believes in the hexes so we get psychological warfare where Taliban morale goes down because some white foids use random bullshit juju.

Djinn are powerless against Pagan Gods.
Actually there was a really good tumblr user once called 'SandsOfChaos' who RP as Eris, but basically said that 'God' is the weakest of all gods. It's fun to think about Eris appearing in our world and killing off many people, from the Taliban to politicians.
