@pakistansagara Thereโs no sustainable short term alternative but weโve shot ourselves in the foot by following long term road centric policies. While there is some work on public transport it feels like an afterthought, whereas it should be the heart and centre of city planning.
Saw an unfortunate scene today, a green number plate Land Cruiser with 2 protocol vigos got stuck on a traffic signal in the industrial area. Only 5-6 vehicles infront but because of the divider they could not go anywhere, just stand there
Security guys started having fitsโฆ
For the last 3 months when the football is on in Spain, half of the internet gets shut down due to ISPs blocking Cloudflare, restricting access to game servers, streaming services, and more.
TLP neutralized. Mahrang Baloch arrested. PTM containment underway. For the first time in years, the State is acting like a State, enforcing writ, not negotiating it. No chaos, no parallel authority, no blackmail on the streets. Kudos to decisive governance.
I think westerners in general misunderstand how much the average foreigner values another's life vs how Westerners value another's life.
This is a daily occurrence where they come from. This may not even lead to jail time in India. They come from a place and culture that doesn't value people.

More disillusioned as opposed to being genuinely progressive, perhaps.
Many Western journalists and States are now finally taking a stand against the Israeli Genocide. This isn't some sudden moral awakening or a realisation that what Israel is doing is wrong. They've known this since the start, and they have been actively complicit in it.
Let's be prepared for decades of propaganda on how the Western countries and journalists 'always' stood for Palestine. Global institutionalized oppression of Palestine, in which several states played an active role, will be pinned on a single person (Netanyahu) or a select few.
