Openly genocidal statements from Indian gays who blame the country’s failure to legislate on gay rights on a minority that have next to no legislative power as a religious bloc. What sort of weak-willed self-pitying idiot do you have to be to convince yourself of these things?

He’s “openly Islamophobic”. I don’t want to see people represented if their politics actively marginalises others, however much they may be “like me”. It’s not simply an issue of descriptive representation. Siloed identity politics has rotted our minds and our morality.

"No-one in history has had the right to return". The 1950 Nehru-Liaquat Pact gave refugees on both sides of the border in East Pakistan and West Bengal the right to return after Partition. British "celebs" invited again to give "hot takes" on stuff they know squat about.

Clearly, you’re not qualified to speak on much. I presume you still have political opinions and cast a vote in a general election. Politics isn’t about expertise it’s about taking a principled position on a range of issues. Self-serving, self-pitying nonsense.

Why so afraid of sex? Is it because you have the Old Testament under your pillow or because you aren’t getting any? Because, genuinely, there is no convincing moral or philosophical argument that can wall it off as some sort of anti-social vice. It is deeply social.
