It's the myth of the “perfect victim” — the one who has never done anything mildly questionable, doesn't have an iota of supposed privilege, and, above all, is dead. Because the dead can be eulogised, not the living. A minority facing an attack can grieve openly, exact revenge, but the supposed privilege of the victims who were members of the majority must be considered when discussing their deaths, you see. Because we simply cannot be victims of a rabid hate crime. Our death and suffering will be re-contextualised, discussed, everyone and their mothers will use the term “nuance” without knowing what it means. We cannot grieve, we cannot mourn our dead. We can only apologise for dying. For being victims that don't fit the narrative. For the dead can be eulogised. The extinct civilization can be celebrated. But the one that keeps on surviving despite repeated attempts to end it all for good will always face their rabid hatred.
I tried to share my views on my Instagram story too. The message came out much clearer. So just sharing it here on Tumblr.
And some additions I made to put across my point
We can't catch a break from their hate.
Kashmir, Pahalgam.
The terrorists checked for their IDs, their Hinduness before shooting them.
did fort get play time in the Copa Del Rey Final??
nah man probably not, unfortunately.
Small ray of light in darkness, Barcelona in the UCL semis after six years.
me, checking the news at the beginning of my journey back home : oh thank god there's a ceasefire.
me, checking the news after reaching home and freshening up : ayo what the fuck?
Ceasefire violated within 3.5 hours of implementation. Prime minister claiming the army has gone rouge. Pakistan, loves, i think you have seen this film before and you didn't like the ending
But then, this man is just the same, but he's not a traitor to his own country.
I cannot believe freaking Owaisi has shown more maturity, sensitivity and support for the Hindu victims killed in Pahalgam at the hands of terrorists than the freaking moral policing lefturds.
Meet Fatima Bhutto. A columnist who often writes opinion pieces on various western publications, especially about Kashmir. She often calls Indians as Israelis, thusly trying to appeal to her ummah or the pro-palestine crowd. Who is she though? Let's look into her biography.
Fatima is the granddaughter of the former Prime Minister and President of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. In 1963, Bhutto was minister of foreign affairs and put the "Operation Gibraltar" into fruition (which fuelled terrorism in Kashmir). Pakistan's leadership specifically chose this name to draw a parallel to the Muslim conquest of the Iberian peninsula that was launched from Gibraltar. The very next year there was a false flag incident in Kashmir which led to the Pakistan sponsored anti-Hindu genocide in 1964.
He was the President of Pakistan from 1971 to 1973. His party Pakistan People's Party (PPP) lost to East Pakistan's Sheikh Mujibur (Mujib) Rahman's Awami League (AL). Bhutto refused to allow Mujib in the National Assembly as he considered Mujib's 6-point demand as a road to secession. It was under his command that the Operation Searchlight, where Bengali intellectuals were massacred at Dhaka University, both Hindu and Muslim professors and students were killed, took place. At the same time, all the Hindu neighbourhoods in Dhaka were attacked. It was under his presidency that Pakistan committed a genocide in East Pakistan, especially selecting the Hindu minority for their extermination campaign. 
Fatima's aunt Benazir Bhutto held a speech in 1990, which provoked Kashmir, leading into the Kashmiri Pandit genocide.
I am personally the last person to be ethnocentric, however Fatima Bhutto's incessant attacks against India, calling India occupier settler and "Israel of South Asia", is forcing me to point out the fact that over half of her family is from Iran, Afghanistan, etc. She is telling us, Hindus, the only natives of the region, that we are occupiers. Please share this far and wide. Shame these pieces of shits wherever you find them.
man héctor fort has the potential. he’s not ass like people say. it’s his inexperienced that’s holding him back, at least in my opinion.
As someone who lives in Bengal, let me tell you, the day we will have to leave our homes again is very near. The Centre will just watch as we suffer the same fate as the Kashmiri pandits, and then they'll eulogised us, conveniently never mentioning that they did nothing to save us.
there's only one thing now that can stop riots like the one happening in Bengal and that is modi stepping down and yogi adityanath taking his place
Barca played exceptionally. Watching them play yesterday reminded me why I love the club. And even though we lost, I will always be proud of the boys. Visca el Barça forever and always.
And the war.... I don't want it to happen, but it's a really tense situation and I hope things don't escalate further. We deserve to live in peace ffs.
hctorforrt_: No pudo ser... pero volvermos.
Infinitamente orgulloso de este equipo. Ahora y siempre, visca el Barça.
