ALAMAT came back with a big revolutionary spark with their new single 'kasmala' – but the netizens have their own tales to tell about the song and its music video's narrative. So, what do we think?
Claiming that it is apolitical is not only a movement to seamlessly integrate one’s propaganda without the threats of being questioned but is also a disease to the production of meaning that attempts to perpetuate a personal motive.
Unpopular opinion: Beauty Pageants are sometimes used as a distraction to redirect the focus of the masses on the impending social crisis and mask it as an event solely focusing on beauty and “women empowerment” that should be treated away from political lens.

Beauty pageants are not just for the physique of women or for showcasing the culture of the host country, it is about the struggles that women are facing and the beliefs that they are fighting for.
The debate on whether or not beauty pageants promote empowerment or objectification continues to rage. However, viewed through the eyes of Marx and Duesenberry, such materials show unequivocally how women continue to fall victim to the patriarchal system's commodification trap.
Thus, competing with women from other countries and competing for titles such as Miss World and Miss Universe is a clear example of how our global culture conspicuously consumes the female body and cultural identity while pushing consumerism.
