Re: A change of heart in the making
here are my 2 cents…guzarish yae hai kay we cant blame PTI for every behavioral idiocy…take leader worship for instance…PMLN supporters will never ever accept any mistake in nawaz no matter what…and where PMLN lovers’ cult following stops, PPP and bhutto lovers start…and where they stop, MQM lovers will begin and where they end, TUQ jan-nisars start…I mean there is no end to this trend and our whole society is plagued by cult following…so why are we surprised that now PTI lovers are following the same trend…after-all these young PTIans saw their buzargs and seniors following and promoting cult following all their lives…why suddenly expect these PTIans to set new standards?
If PTI wants/wanted to be a unique/different party from rest of the crowd then they need to be different, but you are right, the supporters are from same country and same culture so they are not going to be different.
**but there is one element that is unique to PTI supporters and which we never experienced before and that is their lack of patience and civic sense **…yes PPP jiyallas and MQM lovers used to be very aggressive as well but if you differed with them politely without insulting their leaders, most of the PPP and MQM supporters would listen to you without calling you names, insulting you, or abusing you …
but that is certainly not the case with PTIans…once you express your opposition to khan no matter how logical and civilized you are, you will be bombarded with attacks and hurled with abuses…why? why PTI supporters are so abusive,angry and out of control when their leader is criticized for his ill double standards..PTI’s youth are by far the most aggressive & abusive in the Pakistani Politics’.
This could be because more ‘young’ people are in the support crowd than before. Even in MQM when young ones were handed power (read guns) they behaved same way, that is when the slogan of ‘jo quaid ka ghaddar hay woh maut ka haqdar hay’ emerged.
