What if life just ends up becoming a chain of cause and effect devoid of context and nuance? This is the kind of life that people are living in this nation. When I talk about cause and effect, especially pertaining to life, it is about creation of false facts in their lives of people. A sensitive young man goes through a break up or volatile family situation and takes to drinking and then gets addicted to it. The nuanced understanding of this situation with context is that he went through a heartbreak that pushed him towards drinking but the way Indian society judges him is that he is a drunkard. As I grew up to see Indian society I realised that it is especially hostile to good and sensitive people and it is later I realised that it is because the base reality is itself hostile to good and sensitive people and populated by individuals who if they see a cute rabbit their first impulse is to kill it in a way that causes maximum pain to that rabbit and so good men suffer incessantly and conventionally beautiful women have a "bodycount" higher than they would ever admit which is actually soft coercion, it's actually exploitation and their is no freedom of choice here because there is no, unless you specifically have the hand of structure that rules this nation over your head, autonomy over your self. True consent comes from autonomy which is absent. You don't belong to your family, the family is just the mediator between you and the structure that rules this nation. This is a fact but the actual truth is different, the actual truth is that you belong to your family but the actual truth is different from what is the political fact of this nation. The base state is predatory exploitation and mindless social engineering. The law sees the evidence and it can't see intent, in law even the intent is established through evidence and people who have not seen the system as I have seen it do not know that even the evidence of intent can be fabricated. Entrapment can end up becoming existential and false facts can be created which then cause a long chain of false facts. When the base fact is false, then everything that succeeds it is false you just have to delete the evidence of the actual truth. How a lower class pathological narcissist who can't see you beyond his ego and would always project his inferiority on you thinks about you will become a fact about you when he is in power but the actual truth about you is your beliefs, your ideals and how you held on to them and in what conditions. When identity politics is played, and in an Indian context, it becomes all about your caste, your family, your social and economic class, your town, your region, your culture and the goal of indentity politics is to establish inferiority of a particular person by proving the inferiority of things his or her identity is based upon. A black individual, no matter however talented he is in any field, can be proved inferior by (falsely) proving to him that his race is inferior and so he doesn't, if he is a scientist, deserve to do science. At its base it's just domination, like dogs pissing on poles and there is nothing that can be done about it except holding on to your actual truth and beliefs, knowing the false facts created about you and breaking the chain of cause and effect that takes you towards delusion and trying to walk towards truth no matter how painful it is because painful truth is a thousand times better than a comforting lie and it is because politics will someday end up exploitating that lie and extracting all the comfort from it.
