Online lumpenism

#RandomThoughts If Sonia Gandhi or any of her family members is guilty of anything, prosecute them under the extant laws of the land and punish them. But using foul, disgusting abuses and epithets against them on any public platform itself is a crime. And the worst form of cowardice. By spreading the cheapest form of vile language these flock of psychopathic hate mongers is only vitiating the atmosphere beyond redemption. And the whole society, it's politicians, leaders, administration, law enforcing agencies watch this terrible degradation as mute spectators.

The normalisation of filthy garbage spread online to attack political opponents has been perhaps achieved. Now we can wait for such campaigns aimed to shut down or attack rivals in other spheres like personal, sports, business, administration, etc. Imagine, anybody, being refused promotion posts a message with a hashtag referring to the private body parts of the mother, sister, wife, or daughter of the boss. And trend it on twitter by spending as little as Rs 10000/-. Don't be either shocked or ridicule the idea as exaggerated. If and when it happens, nothing will be established as an offence. And many people will also be smiling at the discomfiture of the victim.

Anybody who pretends to overlook this or tries to justify this degrading, perverted and lumpen, hateful campaign is the worm of the worst kind. Remember, if and when even a minuscule percentage of this vulgar and abusive vitriol of hate is directed to you, don't come crying foul. When female members of your family are abused and threatened with expletives online don't ask for help. When the details of their personal and private lives are splashed across the internet for character assassination, you too have a good laugh with others. Tell yourself - tolerance is a virtue. Call your God and pray for deliverance. But remain silent as you are now. Your silence makes you an accessory to the lumpen cult. Enjoy it as long as it serves you the kind of puerile entertainment you deserve.

Many will read this post. I hope that most of them will inwardly agree with what has been written. Those who don't agree will come back and justify with whataboutery and philosophy. But the worst part is that the majority of persons who read this post will avoid it and dismiss it as a frustrated rant. For those happily neutral souls, let me point out - It is you who is the problem, not the lumpen on the street or online.
