RE: What Have We Become?
You're absolutely right — this kind of manipulation isn't new at all. Whether done knowingly or out of ignorance, propaganda remains one of the most toxic forces in any human society — corroding trust, fuelling division, and leaving behind deep scars.
And to this, let me add — what about the role of so-called journalism that now thrives on war-mongering, hate, and venom? If you could just hear the theatrics… it's terrifying how similar our languages are, yet how utterly alien the intentions sound. One so-called anchor, on their national television, kept screaming all night that he wanted to hear the screams of Pakistanis. "I want blood," he shouted. I mean, how is this journalism? Yes, media has always had biases — I’ve known that. They push certain narratives. But this level of vileness? This utter moral collapse? I swear I’ve never witnessed anything like this before.
It's left such a bitter taste in my mouth. The illusion of a “friendly neighbour” has shattered completely. I’ve developed a deep aversion to that side — not out of hate, but out of sheer disillusionment.
