The removal of Imran Khan has already made a lot of Pashtuns hate army. Pashtun diaspora esp youth have started to disavow Pakistan. So good luck with that.
Yeah, that's the unfortunate reality.
Why don’t you have the same energy for Sindh? That ethno nationalism has caused more damage for Pakistan. Look at the floods.
Floods are an act of god. Althought compounded by PPP impudence. I am not particularly fond of Sindhi nationalism. You can see my older posts on relevant threads if you want. But, by all means, come back to me when sindhis ban Pakistani flag and start beating up other Pakistanis when the sindhi teams lose in PSL
When 2 Pashtuns meet they don’t really talk about politics. Unless if it gets brought up. You can’t really divide 2 people completely if they speak the same language are the same ethnicity and practice the same religion. There will always be a connection.
Religion is a stumbling block for many. That's why I referred to nationlism pro maxx. TTP also bombed mosques. They apparently didn't care about religion. And we are doing this to stop TTP among others. Besides, PTM surkhas hardly seem the religious type.
Regarding ethnicity and language, I'll give an example. Pakistani punjabis see indian punjabis as indian first, then sikhs and then punjabis. We have no love lost for them. We don't specifically hate them. We allow them to visit Kartarpur and other shrines. But, if they try to pull any of that shit with Pakistani sikhs, they have another thing coming
The “ethno fascists” take different forms. Some of them support PTI
That's too bad. We'll need their vote /s
If they support the only federal party of Pakistan more than they support their ethnicity, then they'll understand. Otherwise, they can fck right off along with others like them.
How are Pashtuns supposed to see army when they celebrate Battle of Saragarhi though?
That's was before Pakistan was born. Injustices are done all the time. We are assuming a time when Pakistani nationalism has been drilled into people.
TTP is involved and engages with that pocket of hatred. So it’s not insignificant.
Precisely why we need to go harder at them. They can't have their cake and eat it too. Harbor TTP and then cry about checkposts.
They have always been with the plan.
I am in no way saying the average Pushtun is less patriotic than the average punjabi etc. I am talking they should be taught to hate the troublemakers so much that they don't risk feeling sorry for them, like you said above regarding bonds.
They’ll just switch sides like the ANA guys.
But, they'll be with their Afghan comrades and out of Pakistan. That's all I care about.
Too bad that energy is being put on PTI and banning Imran Khan’s telethon from multiple tv channels lol.
Yeah. They've gone mad.
