what strikes me about so many indian male comedians is not that they're sexist. it's how unimaginative their sexism is.
they live in a country with billionaires, lynch mobs, caste atrocities, surveillance, ecological collapse, and political prisoners. yet somehow the object of fascination remains women. women on instagram. women showing skin. women dating. women not dating. women having children. women not having children.
because for many indian men, women are the first territory they are taught to govern.
long before they understand the state, they understand control. control of sisters. wives. daughters. girlfriends. and when that control weakens, it reappears as humour. the joke becomes a socially acceptable way of expressing anxiety about women's freedom.
this kid was someone’s whole world
when you think of each kid that was killed by america and israel, you have to imagine how many worlds they killed and the generations of trauma they created
if it happened to americans or israelis, they wouldn’t shut up about it for 100 years
it’s hard not to feel discouraged seeing material realities destroyed in a collapsing fascist system every single day but there’s truly hope out there. one must use the marginal victories to maintain revolutionary optimism everyday. people are angry. now is the time to organize.

This is what Americans mean when the say they "served" their country. Raping, pillaging, killing and resource theft of the global majority. Then have the nerve to talk about PTSD. Nobody asked you to choose serial killing as a career. Go cry in a corner somewhere
