Wearing a bright color is considered extremely progressive in Afghanistan. These dudes really are just pretending Europe speaks for the world.

Exactly, what constitutes “progressive” and “conservative” are relative to their time and place. Mistaking what is true for Western Europe as being true for all is historically problematic.
