Confronting the Sham

 Recently I have left one group.

The group had a garb of literary enthusiasm. In reality, it was a political propaganda group, though.

It is not that my politics does not match their politics. It is my author's instinct that flags all partisan politics, ideological politics.

My author's psyche abstains me from subscribing to any ideology from the past or ones that are prevailing. Author me is just a chronicler of time. For depicting a holistic view of any time, my author self needs to be impartial to all segments of prevailing opinion of a time. 

Besides, as a social creature I cannot afford to lose freedom of protesting and criticizing any opinion. If I start supporting one or the other, I would lose the clear conscience to differentiate between right and wrong.

After all, reciprocatory WRONG cannot be justified as protest to the preceding wrong.

Where to start?

A person hugely under influence of contraband substances commits several crimes within hours in an evening. First the person peddled counterfeit currency. Then, the person disobeys the law enforcement officials’ instructions for investigating the crime of peddling counterfeit currency. Then the person tried to evade an arrest.

From the viewpoint of a law abiding person, these are all wrongs.

From the viewpoint of a law-evading person, nothing is wrong other than the laws that define a society’s moral predilections. They label all the laws as OPPRESSIVE.

Then, there was a Law Enforcement personnel who crossed the defined boundaries of legal actions.

This is wrong, too, from a law abiding view point.

This is a heinous manifestation of hate from a law evading viewpoint.

THIS LATTER GROUP GETS OWNED BY POLITICIANS TOUTING RIOT AND RAMPAGE OF SMALL BUSINESS AND MIDDLE CLASS NEIGHBORHOODS.

AFTER ALL, THESE POLITICIANS’ GOAL IS TO DESTRUCTION OF BOURGEOISIE, i.e.,THE MIDDLE CLASS, ASPIRING TO BE MORE WEALTHY WHILE UPHOLDING THE SOCIAL VALUES. IN OTHER WORDS, THE GOAL OF THESE POLITICIANS IS TO DESTROY THE SOCIETY AND DIVIDE IT INTO TWO EXTREME CLASSES LIKE FEUDAL SOCIETIES OF PREINDUSTRIAL ERA, i.e., RICH AND POOR, RICH WITH ENRICHED POWER TO CONTROL AND POOR, DISEMPOWERED AND CONTROLLED. THUS, THESE POLITICIANS PRESERVES THE DYNAMICS OF RICH GETTING RICHER AND POOR GETTING POORER WHICH HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED BY THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION TO POOR GETTING UPLIFTED.

The literary group I left was touting these politicians. 

Whine....Evoke...Politick was the three conspicuous actions of the group.

I could have quit the group quietly. But I chose not to leave without a fight.

I waited for a year to see the initial emotional bubbles settle after the event and subsequent chain of wrongs. But the politicians kept the event spinning forever for their personal gain and enticing social media groups and influencers with monetary rewards in the course. The media also kept dancing along with these politicians to top the popularity charts and, hence, churn profit. 

At pace with the never ending media frenzy, the group was promoting politics by promoting non-literary political posts. A particular kind of promotion ended as the political clout fell apart on grounds of financial and ideological irregularities.

Till the group hubris continued to promote other political agenda in vogue. 

I decided to detach myself from a few handful persons’ political agenda  and delve more in pure  pursuance of literary passion.

Hence, there would be no more posts by link sharing with Whine...Evoke...Politick...
