It seems as though this term is an American one, judging by the origin of the references; perhaps this should be made more clear in the lede. Accounting4Taste: talk 17:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm wondering whether this word is best served by a wikipedia article or if it might be better situated at wiktionary per WP:DICTIONARY. There are four or five competing definitions of the term here and I'm not really seeing an article. Gobonobo T C 00:11, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
I agree that there is no question that the term has been in use and in a variety of contexts. I took a stab at a wiktionary entry for Afghanistanism and thought that the connection to environmentalism was tenuous based on the references. The second source only offered environmentalism as an example of Afghanistanism and could easily have been any other localized phenomenon. Wikipedia articles should cover one topic, while this article says that Afghanistanism can mean either "hopelessly arcane and irrelevant scholarship" or "fascination with exotic, faraway lands," or "railing and shaking your fist at an unseen foe." Perhaps this page would work better as a disambiguation for the differing meanings? Gobonobo T C 08:28, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
