politics
Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.
Hey Joe, This Is Life in an Entitlement Society
Senator Joe Manchin, in the negotiations on passing President Biden’s infrastructure bill (backed by progressives and, well, everybody else in the Democratic party) spoke about not wanting the United States to turn into an entitlement society. The expression sounded as typically and cynically out-of-touch as one would expect from a rich man who made a fortune off coal while trying to stop any meaningful climate change legislation from passing.

With Ron DeSantis, The Dead Are Mere Collateral Damage; The Supreme Objective Is Power
The news emerging from the state of Florida is quite depressing. For an area which makes up 6% of American population, nearly 20% of all new cases in the union comes from the Southern state.

Cursed Are The Meek Of The Earth, For They Are Well And Truly F**ked
The world around us is fast unravelling. Reading the newspapers or watching the news is an entirely depressing undertaking. Our planet is imploding and exploding literally, right before our very eyes.

The US War In Afghanistan: Remarked By President Biden On The End Of The War In Afghanistan, Costs Of The Afghanistan War
What did America get in the long 20 years of the Afghan war? Was the victory of the Taliban inevitable? Advanced military weapons, modern warplanes, modern warfare training, airpower, tanks, laser technology missiles were all in the American war fleet. In contrast, the Taliban did not have any of this sophisticated equipment. The Taliban had an unquenchable desire to fight back, in the end, to drive out the US and their alliance with NATO.

Amit Shah’s ‘history’
The Sangh Parivar’s hatred of Jawaharlal Nehru is perfectly understandable. At the Partition of India he stood by Gandhi and bravely fought back the rising surge of hate fostered by the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS). The RSS supremo M.S. Golwalkar’s plans to exterminate Muslims were detected, as the Chief Secretary of Uttar Pradesh, Rajeshwar Dayal, revealed in his memoirs, A Life in Our Time. Had he been arrested, as Dayal suggested, Gandhi’s life would have been spared. The BJP and the RSS still feel very uneasy about Gandhi. L.K. Advani got installed in the Hall of Parliament the portrait of one whom a judge of the Supreme Court, Justice J. L. Kapur, held guilty of being member of a conspiracy to kill Gandhi—V.D. Savarkar, author of the Parivar’s bible, Hindutva. Gandhi’s portrait there faces that of his assassin.
