Expelling diplomats

Hypertree is a strong proponent of compassion and forgiveness. An i for an eye, Hypertree believes, would lead to exploitative inequalities in the vowel market, and if Hypertree does not care about u, who would?

That said, Hypertree is not exactly saddenned to see the latest bout of calisthenics by the Indian and Pakistani diplomatic services. It all started with Pakistan expelling an Indian diplomat (a mere exception to the rule of course which is that it all starts with hegemonist communalists). India in turn retaliated by expelling a Pakistani diplomat. Thus continuing a game of ping pong that has been going on for a long time.
Hypertree is not saddenned by this because if there is one thing that Hypertree does not like that starts with ‘d’ and ends with ‘omat’, it is a diplomat. And the reason for that, my alertly compassionate readers would be interested to know, is that they are but frontliners of exploitative imperialists. Hypertree could not fail to observe that these were all predominantly men in suits and boots, who sip martinis and talk in funny accents all day. And if there is one egregious instance of such a funny accent talking martini sipping person in a bunch of movies, it is Bond. James Bond.

Hypertree has daily nightmares about that movie series; where the hegemonist James Bond would go around killing egalitarian communist spies who were engaged in righteous information liberation. All the while imposing his hegemony upon buxom bikini clad women, trapping them in an abusive and physical relationship that would set back their self-actualization by many years. It was no coincidence that many of James Bond’s covers were diplomats.

So when Hypertree looks at the tit-for-tat expulsions of the diplomats, it can’t help but feel glad that somehow all those communist spies and buxom women on the verge of self-actualization done wrong by James Bond are being avenged.

Shekhar Gupta on Mumbai Blasts

There was once a time when Hypertree felt that the only clear thinkers in India were members of the CPI-M politburo. But then it came to know of some other stellar emotively logical thinkers like this and this, and it had to admit that the hegemonistic world outside the CPI-M politburo was not all madness.

It is thus gladdened to see yet another clear thinker emerge out of the depressive swamp that is the hegemonistic English newspaper columnists (other than our comrades in The Hindu of course).

Shekhar Gupta in this interesting article avers that casteist and classist struggles as well as righteous Islamic self-defence against the hegemonist upper class upper caste Gujarati Hindus, are the underlying causes of the recent bomb blasts in Mumbai. Hypertree is always in solidarity with the oppressed and those facing injustice, and cannot fail to grasp the progressive message of Gupta: that it is the upper class upper caste Gujarati Hindus who were behind the blasts and who bombed themselves so as to cast aspersions on Islamic extremists and Pakistan.

Also, in the article he observes that the most “stunning” aspect of the Indian response was the lack of riots. As Hypertree keeps telling its readers, we Indians are barbarians and lie in wait for the next bomb blast so that we can start killing each other and if we do not do this it is very stunning. Hypertree was so stunned, it had to apply Vico turmeric anti stunning cream to its forehead.

Actually Hypertree is not just stunned, it is also glad. For if the lack of riots was the most stunning thing to Gupta, what was not the most stunning were the moral and progressive actions of this government of bravely not acting at all in response to the attacks. It shows that the Gandhian tradition of cutting off ones balls is still running strong as to not be stunning, inspite of the best efforts of the hegemonist communalists.

Mumbai Blasts

Hypertree prefers to focus on the pressing issues facing the exploited and the oppressed, such as banning the blogs of the hegemonist upper class bourgeois, but if there is one failing we compassionates have, it is empathy.

So, with the recent bomb blasts in Mumbai, Hypertree was beside itself in empathy with Pakistan. With every graphic image from Mumbai of the people injured or dead, Hypertree couldn’t help thinking of the innocent Pakistani child who would be exposed to such images; and about the extent of fascism in India’s communal parties who lay the blame on such innocent children of our fraternal nation across the border. (I refer of course to Pakistan, and not China, which is our paternal nation.)

The bomb blast had seared not just through the train cars, it had also seared through the hearts of us compassionates. It had seared our hearts because we knew the communal parties would point fingers at our Pakistani brethren and not at themselves for their exploitative hegemonistic lifestyles.
Hypertree feels there is only one way to stop this madness. And that is to ban not just the blogs but also the parties of the hegemonist communalists. Only then can we prevent the depressing catastrophe of unjust aspersions being cast on anybody other than the upper class Hindu-communalist majority.

Banning blogs

Hypertree feels that the only thing that should be free is a copy of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital. So that those of us on the side of the exploited and the oppressed can beat on the head of the hegemonists with it. Hypertree is thus amused at the furore about a lack of free-speech in the Indian Blogosphere at a recent banning of blogs by the Indian Government.

If Hypertree’s readers need any more reason to back this ban than to watch the hegemonists sputter about rights to speak freely about anything other than the glorious justice of communism; it is that there is little doubt that it is our CPIM leaders who are behind this noble crusade.
Hypertree of course has its sources, but an astute blog ban observologist has but to take one look at some of the banned blogs, like Expose the Left and Hindu Human Rights and be left with no doubt as to the righteous hands behind such a noble crusade.

Hypertree is cognizant of the tender sensitivities of its compassionate readers, so to provide the readers with a sanitized sample, it decided to brave doubtlessly hazardous exposure to fascism by going to the ExposeTheLeft website.
Now Hypertree is no stranger to depravity, but even its wordly wise ways had not prepared it for posts titled “Industrial production up 0.8% in June” and “Court reinstates Nebraska’s same-sex marriage ban”.

Dazed, Hypertree looked at the list of the banned sites again, to find something less hazardous to Hypertree’s weak stomach; only to find a ghastly titled princesskimberley.blogspot.com.
Hypertree could not bring itself to visit this website, but just from its name, thoroughly supports its ban, and perhaps even a fine on its author.

As for the Hindu Human Rights website which is fighting for the human rights of the oppressive and fascist Hindus, no doubt upper caste ones at that, Hypertree is glad that our idols of compassion, our CPIM leaders, are showing these idolators their place.

The noble crusade was extended by the progressive ISPs to encompass the entire hegemonist set of blogspot and typepad blogs. There is a reason why Hypertree is hosted on WordPress and it is that it was told that WordPress practices sustainable electron farming, and is hosted on fair-trade servers. Which must also be why the progressive ISPs and our CPIM leaders have not banned WordPress.

Hypertree is beside itself with rejoicement, for there could be little doubt that under the able stewardship of our enlightened CPIM and Congress leaders, India’s utopia is getting nearer and nearer.

Reservation

The Desi Blogosphere, a medium of hegemonistic libertarian propaganda, has been roiling with debate on the reservations proposed by the honorable HRD minister, Arjun Singh. ArS wants to extend caste-based reservations in higher educational institutions like IITs and IIMs to 50%. (HyperTree'd touched upon these imperialist inegalitarian higher education institutions in this earlier post.)

HyperTree feels those opposing ArS's splendidly egalitarian proposal are not thinking with due emotional clarity. You see, for centuries, people in India have been discriminated on the basis of caste. Not just people, but the state and society itself has discriminated against people on the basis of caste. Naturally, we should ask what can state and society do now to redress these past injustices. The answer is simple: discriminate on the basis of caste; not just state but society itself should discriminatively allocate jobs and education seats on the basis on birth and caste. Only this can destroy the discrimination of society and state on the basis of caste.

Another argument for ArS's proposal, splendidly put forward by Dilip, an eminently socialist and emotively-logical thinker, is that those opposing these reservations only point out the injustice to those who'd be cut out of the pie. But do they talk about those who'd unjustly get a piece of the pie? This shows that libertarian hegemonists have lost grasp of even basic mathematics: if we steal candy from a poor brahmin and give it to a rich OBC, that's not just an unjust loss to the poor Brahmin, it is also an unjust gain to the rich OBC. So how can they say it is all a loss? HyperTree wishes more people were such clear thinkers like Dilip.

Another argument that the hegemonists give is that they want a system similar to the US, where instead of an egalitarian quota system, there is an insufficient affirmative action system. Instead of a rightfully blind entry on the basis of birth like in India, inegalitarian thought is given to make sure there is diversity as well as a certain minimum standard of ability.

HyperTree feels that even considering the notion that lopsided differences in ability along caste lines enforced by a quota system would lead to disharmony and a disservice to those been "quotaed in" is submitting oneself to the hegemonists' trap of looking at mere amply available empirical evidence as opposed to looking in one's heart and mind.

The final argument they give, that we should also take care to not disincentivize merit, is of course laughable. I mean, if we wanted to incentivize merit instead of a righteous egalitarianism, we might as well call ourselves a fully free capitalist society. A hegemonist dream we must not allow to come true, my dear comrades.

Back

Sorry for the hiatus my dear compassionate readers, but I was immersed in the work of the cruel bourgeois exploitative world around us. Us enlightened compassionate folks, have to partake of the comforts and luxuries of the bourgeois capitalist nightmarish world so that we can teach about its evils to those who are still immersed in the blissful arms of hand-to-mouth poverty and sustainable practices of their non-capitalist economies. There is much to talk about, so stay tuned for our regular emotionally logical programming.

Intro; contd

The intro post did not go into much depth. Which I just realized would be a disappointment to my many like-minded readers. Unlike the capitalist “free-to-kill-innocent-poor-babies-marketeers”, my readers are a more compassionate lot. They like to go into the emotional depth of the issue. The issue here being myself.
In particular, the name of this blog. HyperTree. There is a very emotional story behind this, and if your heart does not bleed upon hearing this, then you are not a bleeding heart liberal, which means you should stab your worthless heart and let it bleed. Which would then make you a bleeding heart non-liberal. Not that it’d matter for I’d still hate you and your hegemonistic ilk.

The story dates back to when I was ten years old.
I was young, I was innocent, I was ten years old. I got up that morning, as I used to get up every morning. And looked out of the window. And what do I see? I see that I do not see what I usually see.
My tree. That was always so hyper in its shaking of branches, in its rustling of its leaves.
It had gone.
Somebody had cut it.

My tender childhood innocence was shattered that day. I demanded an explanation for this hegemony but some flimsy excuses were made; it was diseased; had insects; would fall amidst heavy rains injuring children.
Bah.

The lack of compassion infuriated me. This in many ways was a symptom of the rise of capitalist diseased mindset that was spreading its insects and falling on the poor child-like Indian minds. Just because similar diseased trees festered semi-poisonous centipedes and had injured people by falling during rains did not mean that this one would too. Or that other more compassionate alternatives should not be explored.
A year after having cut the tree, there was again a proliferation of the same semi-poisonous centipedes. Which was when I questioned their diseased-tree-cutting “reform” policies. But typical of their closed-mindsets, they kept blabbering about how because of my rabble-rousing they could not cut all of the diseased-trees. That the solution was actually cutting more of the diseased trees. I could not believe my ears! They were so far gone in their capitalist mindsets that they could not see the truth that my more compassionate mind alone could fathom.
Luckily the trees of this diseased-mindset were mercilessly cut right in the trunk for many good years by the good folks at Congress and CPI. But lately, this disease has risen again; the strangehold over the desi-blogosphere by the capitalist imperialists being just one symptom of it.

This blog is dedicated to that tree. To that hyper tree.

Intro

This is an introduction post. Meaning this is about me. I’m very humble, so it is understandably hard for me to talk about myself. But since I’m not the type to shirk from understandably hard things, let me just say that I’m here to stop the libertarian capitalist hegemony of the Indian blogworld. This cartel of capitalist bloggers use convoluted exaggerations and emotional hyperbole to emotionally sway their readers. If left unchecked, the utter and complete ruination and disaster that would ensue is but easy to imagine. Do we want a fate where our desi mothers cannot look at their babies in the eye without tearfully wondering what capitalist hellholish world they have brought an innocent life into?
No more! To throw off the capitalist yoke, Kem Che; as a latin american would say. Kem Che, Kem Che. Catchy phrase that; maybe I should write a song on it.
