Still. Talibans aren't stupid. We have social media today. The times are different.

Everything they are doing right now is calculated and planned. Once every single person has left this country, they will really start enforcing their rules and will also execute and harm people (probably started it already outside of Kabul).

Taliban ain't putting up no act
The world knows they're savages

They're not going to "pretend" because they dont need to.
They already got what they wanted. No one is changing that, no matter what policies they enforce.

I assume this govt will be very similar to Iran.

Idk why this story was swept under the rug like that but it's literally documented that they just blatantly lied and it's been available to the public for 2 yrs now

The Taliban has already very slightly liberalized since their original rule in the 90s, and its not just because of tech existing now which did not exist then. They now allow music, dancing, phones, internet, photos/cameras, they conduct interviews with female reporters and allow themselves to be filmed, they have a government structure now modeled after other global governments, they are no longer vehemently anti-Shia/Hazara, and many other things. This isn't to say they aren't still fundamentalists with dangerous ideas, but this isn't the same Taliban as the 90s, modernity has also effected them greatly. It doesn't matter if you actually believe what they're saying or not - the fact they're even uttering the words that they will not engage in forced marriage or full subjugation of women is a huge distinction in and of itself that they aren't as radically primitive or fundamentalist like they were in their past iterations.

I understand
Taliban is still the taliban and I think the locals are okay as well. The western media is definitely blowing things out of proportion (ie: every female is going to get stoned, raped, no one is safe etc etc

"The western media is definitely blowing things out of proportion"? "No one is safe"?

I think you got it wrong. It was never really safe in Afghanistan. We have to see if that changes in the near future and then we can say whether the Taliban are 100% serious about it or not.
