The other
day there was one of those unsolicited messages in one of those unsolicited
groups. Yes, with time, I have started attending WhatsApp University. And with
time, I have stopped exiting groups; I attend these classes as a passive, mute
student of unlearning – though my attendance would be considered insufficient. Many
may call me a watcher or even a voyeur. However, I yearn to unlearn a lot –
especially from groups that proudly exhibit the term Media or Journalist. So I
do occasionally glance through the sundry post when I need to unlearn or get
winded.
In the message,
one of these media specialists targeted a certain “infamous” communist leader,
raising questions over his source of income in supporting his livelihood (even
if frugal) or funding an election campaign. Left is just a four-letter word
today. And now that it has been rendered politically and economically
irrelevant, I find it amusing that some people still find it worth flogging a
dead horse. And I LoL when someone tries to defend the philosophy(ies).
In the said
group, someone tried – not to defend – but to advise the erring member to study
the ways and means of the Left parties and how they work. I ROFL when such a group-member
tries to impart reasoning and learning to another member who just loves to hate
something that the latter just does not know anything about and does not intend
to know anything about. Isn’t that’s why we interact with prejudice on the
social media?
Thus, here
was someone analysing the unknown of a political leader who represents a school
of politics which is almost a century old in our country on a platform that has
already given the right of way to prejudice.
But surely
one can ask me why I don’t ROFL writing this?
