I’m reading “The Eyewitness” by Muhammad Saeed Mehdi. It’s a self biography by a Pakistani civil servant since the 1950s. I’m a Pakistani American who recently visited Pakistan for the first time in 20+ years. I bought the book while I was over there.

I’m woefully ignorant of the history of Pakistan despite my parents complaining about Pakistani politics my entire life. I will say that book is amateurishly written, it’s clearly written by someone my grandfather’s age who didn’t hire a professional writer to help with this book. It is still fascinating because it’s like listening to my grandfather tell a story about characters I’ve heard about my whole life. It’s about events my parents and grandparents lived through. Its giving my a different perspective on the lives my parents led before moving to the US.

I’m sure it will. It doesn’t matter, if it ever gets made, I will be there. I don’t even care if it’s good. Just give me some closure on #sixseasonsandamovie.

I will believe when I’m sitting in the movie theatre and the sound system starts blaring “Give my some rope, tie me to a dream”

I call my phone the propaganda box

Jd Vance has a blue sky account?

Welcome! This is a real place with real people. Far less rage bait and bots.

As long as money has sway, someone will take their money.

Bro did you notice she’s talking too?

It’s pretty amazing that a bunch of monkeys on a ball hurtling through space were able to take rocks and pass lightning through them in such a complicated way that the rocks can produce images that support violence against different colored monkeys.

Yeah but those values develop in response to a world that doesn’t value them. So most people realize that the world doesn’t care about them, so they come to the conclusion that they shouldn’t care about other people. It’s actually not unreasonable.

It takes a real mature person to understand that those behaviors are the result of the system and to think that the system needs changing.

What I’m saying is I think it’s possible for these people to be redeemed. We have to give of ourselves more than we’ll get back to teach the world that there are other ways of being that aren’t selfish. And everyone has to be included in that future version of the world.

I don’t believe anyone is a “bad person”. This is a subjective value. I think people are misguided, mislead and traumatized. It is possible for these people to have been some other way if they had been given a good education or had been protected from trauma/allowed to process their trauma.

Capitalism has traumatized us all. Don’t let it divide the proletariat.

This debate is a sign that our democracy is dying. We can’t find a good candidate anywhere in the political spectrum. The Democrats are intentionally incompetent and ineffective.

But the belief that the system is fixable enough that we can vote our way out of the problem persists. So the proletariat spend the last days of the empire arguing about whether or not voting works and if there are good candidates, meanwhile the bourgeois loot the treasury in preparation for coming collapse.

Voting in another bourgeois president will not fix any problems. At best, it will delay the inevitable. The system is unfixable. Even if we defeat Trump, the dissatisfaction with the status quo will continue. Even if Kamala had won, the dissatisfaction with the status quo will continue. The political class is incapable of devising effective solutions for the problems of a system they benefit from.

Something will rise from the ashes of this moment in history, I think it’s time we get started on building that future.

I think it’s because it costs a bunch of money to redesign the Pokemon and it costs even more to create a new model.

Oh this is a great idea. I haven’t read the books in over 20 years. It isn’t creating new stuff, it’s just adapting stuff that hasn’t been adapted yet.

Purpose is a human concept that is not a property of the universe.

Lol I believed it happened again until I looked at the date of the article.

You got a source? I believe you but I need proof for some people

Does he hear himself? Like I feel like we’re living in a sketch show.

Idk I think not buying a product from a giant corporation will do more for the world than buying it.

Idk why they’re still working. They should be on strike.
