      Thanks. Muzammil bhai can you plz explain, one person i met at the black hole said 'Muzammil on one hand says that he prefers freedom over egality, thats why he doesn't like China bcz they are authoritarian, but on the other hand he also says that only a Kemalist type government can fix things; isn't that a contradiction?'

      He's only applying logics to Imran Khan and find all issues he ever read, drawing analogies But on the same time he's dead silent whether it's Zardari, Ganja League or Corrupt Generals of army. & it makes him anti IK, biased, very subjective.

    Muzammil is the only journalist/political analyst to come out of this nation who focuses on finding the truth rather than pushing agendas for their own personal benefit or is party backed.
    He is a gem and inspires people to do research on their claims and back it up by evidence which is one of the biggest problems the modern world faces today.
    He indulges you to think critically and observe everything with skepticism.

In this society where establishment have imposed its fear to public, such individuals are a great asset to educate people and help them to think rationally.

To wo ab society harmony ke philosophy pe shift kar rahe hain. Wokeism ka base bhi to yahi hai. Usme individual thoughts ko zayaada respect nahi hai.

    For the last question
    Why we do what we do ?
    The answer is simple
    Acknowledgement (not famous)
    You may not want to achieve fame or validation, but you don't want to waste all what you have to offer either
    It might be rejected or even hated by the masses, but you still do it to make some kind of sense of your skill, knowledge, or opinion
    That's human nature
    Zarathustra (Nietzsche) could have stayed in that isolation, but nooooo. He had to come. He had to address the masses.
    It's human nature to share what you have discovered
    Be khudi besabab nahi Ghalib
    Kuch to hai jis ki parda dari hai
    There is no selfless act.
