Unfortunately this is what it has become. I suggest you let them party here and just watch them as inevitable happens. Read and smile to yourself. Do not let their display of rhetorical gymnastics get under your skin.
PTI supporters are hyper-active and are mostly propagandist trolls like some here. As IK's sails droop and his campaign falters, PTI-bots become more and more shrill. PDF has gone from being 90% + PTI to about 60% PTI. Most mature and thinking posters, known for quality of posts and not quantity, have steadily turned against PTI & IK over last few months. I am an example of this.
One day the dissonance will grow so loud that most of these kids will grow quiet. Some will complete education and start a career. Some will start families. A few years down the road they will wonder what they saw in IK who would be known as a failure in politics. I guarantee this because IK is rigid, power-hungry, and suffers from tunnel-vision. Most of his supporters can not stick with him over the long run. Things change. Events happen. Situations demand action. Rigid people get left behind to simmer in frustration as a result. IK can not stay relevant beyond a year or two.
My heart aches upon the events of today. I did not wish to write about politics. I did not wish to do anything at all on PDF. People I know have lost loved ones. I cried to myself today. These children are like my own children. Could the same happen to mine? This question haunts me. Already IK seems irrelevant - incapable of providing leadership. If PTI ministers had an iota of integrity, they would resign. Have they? There is NOTHING naya in PTI. Its same old same old with another name and a bit of rhetoric. Bit by bit PTI looses its luster and one day most ardent of his supporters will realize this and rethink their priorities.
We have to invest in our system. The best way to do that is to have timely elections. I shall be very glad if a suave, bright, hard-working Pakistan PM calls snap elections and carries the day, sort of like Shinzo Abe of Japan. That would tell me that our system is mature enough to not have to worry about Khakis, Anarchists, opportunists, and mad mullahs. When Issues and humanist sentiments mean more than challenging legitimacy and ambition, we would be a great nation. IK is not capable to doing that and will never be able to do anything other than be a vehicle for other people's ambitions.
So rest easy my friend.
I have warned
@Jzaib and another poster for sub-par language and personal attacks. That is all I can do. But that is way of life for PTI-walas. I do not expect them to change. You see I am quite powerless. But I know most of these people will be disenchanted with IK before long. I suggest that you wait for that to happen, and happen it will - If Allah so wills.
