SIRIUS – Dancing light of grace

Do you vote in political elections?

No.
However: I wanted to create an archive of what I thought was absurd logic given via a reputed media outlet.
This media outlet has taken complete shelter of one side despite claiming to be impartial.
The usual stance had been to take side of the opposition rather than the ruling party which means they would oppose the very people they’ve been supporting if they become the ruling party.
Reason: to support those in need. To find flaws in the democracy by being the fourth pillar of the democracy.
By the fifth point most of the bots and casual skimmers have gone to sleep. You might need to return to this archive if it survives, if you survive, in a few days, weeks, months or years. Decades would be an exaggeration because literal decadence has set-in.
Coming to the main point: “the popular leader declared their caste to be such to ingratiate masses. First: their academic records are fake. Doesn’t matter. Now their caste records are fake. Doesn’t matter. Does anything matter?”
No. It’s besides the point because I am not a political commentator.
Again coming to the main point: the not-so-popular-leader who might become very popular in nearby future as the person he’s weighing in his argument on a media outlet ( with many people clapping nearby), speaks: “The popular leader who had falsified his caste records to ingratiate downtrodden masses was discerned and judged by me to be from a general caste because I never saw him walking hand-in-hand with common people. Never saw him hugging people from downtrodden classes of society.”
That logic, stated in the point number nine was to establish how this leader was identified to exhibit lack of genuine empathy for a certain group of people.
Wait a minute: it establishes that the accusing person must have genuine empathy for all people. They must have transcended limitations of caste and creed. No, it doesn’t. The argument is petty.
You don’t need to belong to any caste to have genuine empathy. It’s not a sound logic to say that a person born in a general class, in an elite class or in a downtrodden class can’t have genuine empathy towards all beings because of their birth in those particular classes.
The argument forgets that the person in question himself was born in an elite family. His hugging common people or walking hand-in-hand with downtrodden people would never be considered as genuine empathy unless it accompanies commensurate actions.
“A wasn’t doing this eating, walking and hugging people. I identified him as not belonging to their class. Even research into his documents verified the same.”
“Though I was born into an elite class, I exhibit genuine empathy by hugging ( holding hands of) people from all classes. Especially downtrodden masses.”
If the logic is: a person can exhibit genuine empathy only towards the persons of their own caste: the logic establishes that the person born in elite class CAN’T really hug common people or walk with them even if he pretends to do that.
If the person born in the elite class says that it’s possible to exhibit empathy towards common classes or downtrodden classes despite being born in a general class: there’s no need to use logic of ‘caste’.
By 17 it only becomes a question of whether a person has empathy or not. It’s another matter to decide how to judge whether they have genuine empathy.
It’s completely illogical to use caste as a standard to allege that a person was being more loyal to their own people. By the same logic elite group leader was always loyal to their own: elite group.
General strategy is to pretend to belong to whatever gets things done. Same with the logic of masses being able to sway masses as if they’re blind. Pyramid’s Eye.
Thus: both popular and going-to-be-popular-born-elite leaders keep entertaining masses. The only truthful media person takes shelter because they need to continue earning their living.
