Re: The hypocrisy of liberals
Thing is that it’s no longer just an “idea”, its more than that - it’s a freaking country twice the size of California with many inhabitants. I think for those of us that don’t live there or didn’t grow up there it’s easy to say break it up and give the land to india to devour but it is very personal to the people that actually live there or grew up there. Change comes with time, Segregation only ended cause the majority changed their attitude, you can’t expect Pakistan to push laws that would cause riots across the country especially considering the fact that almost two-thirds of Pakistanis live in the rural areas, it isn’t a very urbanized country. Also Pakistan isn’t any worse than any of the neighboring countries, you can’t tell us with a straight face that it’s worse for women than Iran, India, or any other middle eastern and south asian country? Most of these cultures are quite similar and are just as sexist towards women. Your “solution” is gonna cause more problems cause it isn’t practical, forcing another partition is gonna cause a lot more bloodshed than the one in 1947 cause the population is a lot higher, suggestions like yours aren’t steeped in reality and gladly most people don’t think like that’s a solution cause if you want what happened to Yugoslavia then I’d suggest you read more on it’s history. Also joining India isn’t gonna be much better, they have a Prime Minister that is worse than Trump and then there’s the whole kashmir occupation which is one of the biggest active genocides taking place right now. If you’re so keen on ending this “drama” lol then you should be the one on the ground when that partition happens and the civil war breaksout otherwise you’re no different than those neocons sitting here that thought partitioning the “British creation” of Iraq was a “great idea” - look what they made of it.
So this is your argument? That “everyone else does it, so why can’t we?” Great.
And again, I never said break up the country and give it back to India…that was something The Resident Drama Queen PP (what a nice name for him) came up with. I believe it never should have happened. Ab hogaya hai to bhugto. But the separation, the sacrifices made, the lives lost, the bloodshed and what is there to show for it?
Sad.
