The Unnecessary Ramblings of an Idealist

*Statutory Disclaimer*: "I'm an Idealist; and I'm VERY visibly politically impractical as well"

That does not take away the fact that philosophy must guide political correctness.

***These seemingly Anarchist views are of my own. (Just putting it out there since I've been tagged as an Anarchist by a right inclined friend of mine.)

Political Correctness has given way to elephant in the room.
Which justifies violence in the name of "Right-wing fundamentalism". Although it has not taken a form we expect it to; In India, it still is getting there. In the form of seemingly moderate and secular policies/laws that choke minorities from exerting its rights. In the veiled form of "Development" and tarnishing the efforts of being independent for 60+ years.
I agree with the right-wing talks about "Appeasement for too long" and it makes sense! But have you thought about what could be done better. The narrative of "A better option" in right-wing politics has been justified with retaliation and violence and not trying to understand. "What could be 'Better'"
Society as we know it; is a result of "Constructed Stereotypes."
Fact being; You will always vote between the devil and the high sea. Humans are selfish at their core and they will only relate to what they hold dear and consider as their vehicle of survival; either as a community or individual. Period.

The Dark Side

The Dark is monotonous and exhilarating, at the same time... Monotony and darkness lend color to experiences outside them... You come out (If not socially) a different human...A different individual... A color, a sound, a smell, a touch; to every momentous experience you've had in life; and they add to your journey as a speck on the PALE BLUE DOT. A sound or else; that takes you back to where you wish you'd be for eternity, but reality pulls you back to experiences that take you to the roads that always seemingly fork in life... Life is to be taken by the second; not by minute, not by hour, not by day, not by month; NOT by the Year. But by what you are at THAT second...If you think family in a second, you live for them; if you think friends in a second, you live for them... We live by the clock; the clock doesn't stop...And the "Perceived" lack of time is why we are judged by our "socially bad" bad decisions. You are YOU! You are what defin

Resolve

In harsh winds that blow I shall be your flame that refuses to die Lighting your way in the soft reassuring glow of steadfast promises and unwavering resolve My warmth shall console you in the coldest of winters, and all you need to do is look me in the eye Not across the thick blanket of snow and ice that stretch beyond the horizon into a sunless sky I shall be your flame that refuses die; for I shall burn bright to light your smile. We shall get through it all and bask in the summer sun in days to come. I wish I had you in my arms in these times, but until then, these words of hope and love are all I can offer.

Love Me! I'll Kill You Otherwise...

Well you need to strike a balance between the promises you made and playing good-cop-bad-cop. The legitimacy of good eventually is not founded in genuine concern, but their ultimate purpose is to legitimize evil through the good. Happened with Hitler, happened with Mussolini, happens with every known supremacist ideology. (Although unlike blatant bigotry back in the times, they call for inclusiveness and respect for their kin in the present, to endear themselves to a globali zed world.) Our man shouts peace and inclusion among others while his minions are let loose to play the bad cop with intimidation, communalism, and lynching. A commonality in populist strong-men governed countries. This is exactly what Manmohan meant when he mentioned the "Dangerous Binary" in one of his parliament speeches; the way of choosing the good that is founded on evil. And for a species who are driven mostly by the need to survive, withdraw in fear is what the common man can do; since
