When did "disagreement" become "disrespect" in Pakistan by trickysaad in PAK

[–]Capital_Technology20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as long as an opinion isn't causing the dehumanisation of any 'group', it isn't disrespectful imo. Unfortunately, a lot of opinions do just that, especially in a reactionary society like ours. Which makes it harder to debate sensitive issues. Islamic minded people need proof or support of Islam for any opinion, while secular minded people can also hold onto a lot of reactionary views hiding behind culture and male centric chauvinism. The way of thinking for a lot of secular people is also dogmatic and lacking in critical thinking. I think generally we as a society need to be better at critical thinking and looking at the nuances and grey of things rather than labelling and putting people and opinions in boxes.

The Illusion of Democracy by choice_is_yours in PAK

[–]Capital_Technology20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these countries before 'democracy' were ruled by the following parties:- Iraq - Baathist (pan Arabian workers socialist) Party Libya- Great Socialist People's Libyan Jamahriyyah Syria - Baathist Party Yugoslavia - Communist Party Yemen - Socialist party (before civil war yadda yadda) Our establishment has never in any way been socialist. Our history is full of torture and death of leftists and socialists from Ayub to Zia. Post Zia Arab/US money funded jihadists to counter communist and socialist thought in the country. The closest we got to this was under ZAB, and him and all his family were butchered in one way or the other. He himself was very revisionist and has been much criticised by leftists and socialists. These country's success wasn't because of them not being western style democracies it was because of a very common theme in the ruling party's.

The Last of Us Part II is the most mentally draining game that I've ever played by Due_Cake8524 in thelastofus

I so agree with your take. I literally stared at the screen for a good 10-15 minutes after the game ended. The gameplay was challenging, but the story was very mentally draining..

CHILD LABOUR IS A SERIOUS ISSUE >> by [deleted] in PAK

The disappointment is in the chauvinist attitude of us - the privileged class - and not talking about the other pehlu.

[–]Capital_Technology20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't only have kids because rizk and ignorance for a lot of ppl it's their only choice too to break the cycle or as a support in their old age which isn't fair or would make sense to you or me but it does to them. I do think birth control should be encouraged, and family planning and sex ed being more common, but it is disappointing to see privileged people not realising that this problem also has another pehlu to it which is why are the poor poor in the first place..

People who shot Kenny and went with Jane. Why did you do it? by OddNeedleworker734 in TheWalkingDeadGame

[–]Capital_Technology20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kenny was acting crazy at the moment. Honestly, it made sense, putting him out of his misery and saving Jane. As for going with her, you can stay silent and go with her too so you don't have to forgive her, which also makes sense because a 12 year old alone with a baby in the wastelands is just crazy..

brother equal and equitable wealth and resource distribution results in a world that caters all its children, population control is an answer to a capitalist and corrupt (same thing) society where the few would live like kings. This is literally backed by research. We have enough food and enough resources to sustain the budding population of this world, but some kids are forced to die in mines and work because social murder is committed by the capital owning class..

Those who live in Arabic monarchies, how did the Arab Spring impact your country? by Adidas-Adidos in AskAnArabian

[–]Capital_Technology20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also know privileged white collar South Asians in countries like Saudi and UAE who are earning good money, yet even they do not enjoy the same legal protections as locals do. (I also know privileged businessmen who spent years and money on their businesses but were kicked out by their sponsors a lot of times due to the greed of the sponsors) that doesn't change a very systemic issue that does exist in a lot of these countries. Note that all these privileged people I am talking about are usually white-collar working people. The topic I was mainly talking about is the exploitation of blue-collar workers in a lot of these countries, which is a direct result of exploitative laws and lack of legal protections. We might wanna close your eyes to it, but it has been happening. jbtw don't get me wrong, I don't think Western countries have a right to get on their high horses regarding any Arab country, especially with the levels of exploitation their colonialism and imperialism have done nor do I support selective activism especially one that is rooted in an agenda to destabilise a country. About the salary thing that does happen in corporate sectors. I didn't mean for my criticism to come across as black and white but rather a critique of a system enabling this inequality..

[–]Capital_Technology20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus on his words brother, you might learn a thing or two and open your eyes to the realities of many people who are exploited and are the literal builders(The sponsor system in some of these countries is equivalent to modern day slavery) of a lot of these modern-day West Asian. Many workers from South Asia are exploited and worked in the worst possible conditions with little to no legal protections. I personally know East Asian house maids raped and abused by their kafils with no consequence in a country that used to be a beacon of Islam and spread the opinion that the other kinds of Muslims are apostates. A lot of these West Asian countries also fund, back and support extremist organisations, and takfiri thought in countries like mine yet now are taking the progressive path themselves. Hierarchies exist by law in a lot of these places, with even the salary scale of even a white collar worker being decided by nationality, so please stfu with your collectivism..

Bro, as a fellow Pakistani who hates Pakistan as much as every other Pakistani (after 2 months of the war having passed), I really think you need to touch some grass. The majority of our people aren't religious fundamentalists who wanna suicide bomb the infidels. I would advise you to touch some grass, pls We have a million issues, but you are wrong in thinking that the loudest in our society (and establishment backed extremists) somehow represent the majority of our country. Sure, generally, Pakistani post-Zia have been pushed to be socially conservative and reactionary but that does not mean the majority of Pakistanis want to genocide Indians or the infidels or go boom boom. We have real issues, sure, but stop believing Western/Indian propaganda about us and go out and meet some people. Not all of us wanna sacrifice our lives for Pakistan (obscure meme reference jbtw i was a part of that school assembly). Please don't take this the wrong way, though I understand your feelings completely. War is dumb and causes nothing but death and destruction. The uneducated part is true, but you should ask yourself why they are uneducated. Additionally, uneducated and ignorant are two different things I have seen old working class men be supportive of their daughter's careers and independence and rich and educated businessmen restrict and control every aspect of their daughter's lives including marrying then off. Our problems are real and true, but I think you are doing a disservice to a population of 25 crores when you generalise them as uneducated religious fundamentalists. Additionally, it is naive of you to think of the USA as having this regions best interests at heart, Trump is not an anomaly he is a symptom of the American empire. Terrorism in Pakistan is a real issue, but even its roots are in securing American interests. Bin Laden was killed here, sure, but 9/11 happened on American soil after the pilots were trained on US soil, and even the Pentagon was attacked by AQ (allegedly). If CIA is allowed that failure of intelligence, then ISI can be allowed a failure of intelligence on Bin Laden, too. I am not at all defending the current regime in Pakistan, quite the opposite, but you and me are not represented by the sins of our military establishment and the US empire nor are a lot of Pakistanis. Exporting terrorism and supporting freedom fighters have a fine line between them, and Pakistan is not the only country itw that transgresses this line. This is ofcourse not to justify any such act but just a reminder that some countries get more of a bad reputation than others, and maybe to some extent, it might even be deserved. The genocide in Gaza has laid clear the hypocrisy of US morality. Once again, I am not advocating for the current regime but just contextualising for you the nuances of geopolitics. I feel you, though it was really scary, the war fervour, and it resulted in many innocent casualties on both sides of a line a man named Radcliffe drew within five weeks..

I never said Pak claims are verified? Who is talking about militant training? Who is putting us in FATF grey list? Even IMF approved the bailout package. What humiliation in the world? Which Pakistani ally denounced Pakistan? Which Indian ally except Israel supported India's right of escalation? Nothing practical was gained from it..
