Trivialise and legitimise every hate or misgiving through spectacle movies and by getting spineless, supine actors for the diabolicals. No holds barred.

Keir Starmer resigning is classic system trickery.

The tensions are high so they pull the plug and he goes off to retire on 600k a year for life, and lives with his wife in Israel.

They always hope that the White populace will blame everything on one figurehead and that replacing him will allow for a reset and for Whites to cool down and simply forget.

The whole system is obviously rotten. Whoever they replace him with will be just the same.

It’s important people don’t invest all their energy into hating one figurehead, but rather the whole system.

You see this a lot with Gen X at IRL protests, always chanting “Albo/Starmer is a wanker”, and that “Albo/Starmer has got to go”

Don’t let people celebrate his resignation as a win, it’s a tactical move by the system to buy itself some breathing room.

@PaushaliSahu Apparently, they are owned by HT Media, a significant name in the media industry. Why would they bring it down especially when Mirchi and Radio City are still around.

@mlaurencechen @NYCMayor @grok You got to explain this. Why would the authorities anticipate hooliganism, is it normal?

Your post is disingenuous. You pretend as if you do not know he is a publicly committed Brahminical RSS-ideologue, totally committed to that project, with free entry at highest echelons of power. You couch your criticism in economic terms to blunt the public perception of his game. You are actually one of them, an imposter.

[Darab Farooqui @darab_farooqui]

I want to be precise about something because this conversation keeps conflating two different arguments.

I am not against Muslim identity politics. I am against a specific party that has reduced Muslim identity politics to a family brand with no program behind it.

BSP began with Dalit assertion and built a cadre, an ideology, a theory of power. DMK began with Dravidian identity and built a welfare state. Shiv Sena had a Maharashtra first economic program. You can hate it. But it existed. Kanshi Ram had a precise answer to the question: what happens after the vote.

Every party you have cited began with identity and built something from it. A plan. A strategy. A roadmap.

What is AIMIM's plan. Not Muslim political assertion's plan. AIMIM's plan. For Muslim education. For Muslim economic mobility. For Muslim institutional representation. A concrete, specific, accountable program.

That question has not been answered in this entire thread. Not once. Not by you. Not by anyone.

That silence is the whole argument.

Next time come with a plan. An actual plan. Otherwise I am done with this conversation. We are going in circles and I have no interest in going around the same roundabout indefinitely.

[Aaquib Naved Farooqui @aaquib_]

Word! Very bit of it. Regardless of the deplorable state of political landscape, MIM was and will never be the solution for Muslims. The party despite being around for more than a decade hasn’t had a singular face of sanity and credence. Muslims must completely denounce these opportunistic and incompetent thugs, the sooner the better.

[Darab Farooqui @darab_farooqui]

Asaduddin Owaisi has a simple pitch. Vote for me. I am Muslim. That is the complete argument. There is no program underneath it. No institution. No plan. Just the identity, offered like a credential.

He wants to be the independent political leadership of Muslims. Let us take that seriously for a moment and look at what he is actually offering.

1. AIMIM is not a political party. It is khandani jaydad. The grandfather built it, the father inherited it, the son inherited it from the father. Three generations. No election. No contest. No process.

The presidency passed like property each time, and it will pass like property again. This is the man asking Muslims to build independent democratic leadership. He is doing it from an inherited throne.

2. What has AIMIM actually built? There is no national legal aid network for riot victims. No scholarship infrastructure at the scale the crisis demands. No economic cooperative. No land rights cell.

What exists is a very efficient media operation, eagerly amplified by Godi media. Not out of sympathy. Because Owaisi is useful to them. An angry Muslim face on prime time is exactly what the BJP's polarisation machine needs. Owaisi provides the content. Godi media provides the platform. Both go home satisfied.

A hate crime happens against a Muslim. Statements get drafted. Tweets go out. The outrage is always articulate. The helplessness is always beautiful. Then the next atrocity happens and the cycle repeats. Meanwhile the money to fight elections in state after state materialises without difficulty. The priorities are legible. This is not politics. This is performance with a press release.

3. Owaisi has a troll army. And they have a favourite slur for Muslims who vote for secular parties — *Dari Bichao gang*.

The meaning is precise. You are only good enough to lay the mat at their rally. You will never get on the stage. The insult captures something real about how secular parties have treated Muslim political participation as labour, not leadership.

But look at what Owaisi is offering instead. A party where the stage has been occupied by the same family for seventy years. Where no Muslim from outside the bloodline has ever risen to lead. You left one place where you could not get on the stage. You entered another where the stage is inherited property.

The mat just moved indoors.

This is not an alternative to BJP politics. This is a photocopy of it. The Sangh does the same thing to Hindus who do not vote BJP. The language is identical. The intent is identical. The only difference is that the Sangh has the state behind it. Owaisi has Twitter. But the appetite is the same. The methodology is the same. He is BJP's mirror image, standing in the same room with less furniture.

4. Look at who is missing from his party. Not one progressive Muslim, man or woman, who achieved something in secular life. Someone who built a career, earned a reputation, created something of value outside the world of identity politics, and then chose to bring that standing into public life for their community. That person does not exist in AIMIM.

What exists instead are people whose entire identity is the party. Whose standing comes from Owaisi, not from anything they built themselves.

Progressive people are a liability for Owaisi. They ask what the plan is. They want accountability. They notice contradictions. So his party has been carefully built to exclude them. That exclusion is not accidental. It is the architecture.

Muslim identity in AIMIM is a costume. Wear the kurta or sherwani. Wear the topi. Perform the aesthetics. That is the entry ticket. Not your ideas. Not your record. Not what you have built.

Bring in the performance. Not your questions.
