Why Are Ordinary People Fighting Harder Than Politicians?

(Reference that got me thinking about this.)

Politicians switch parties.

Politicians form alliances with former rivals.

Politicians move on.

But supporters keep fighting strangers online as if they're defending family members.

At what point did politics stop becoming about policies and start becoming a fan war?

Why are citizens more loyal to politicians than politicians are to their own promises?

When Criticizing The Government Became A Crime

One thing that strikes me when watching old news clips from the UPA era is how openly journalists questioned those in power.

Governments were criticized daily. Press conferences were uncomfortable. Ministers were interrupted. Scandals dominated headlines for months.

The media wasn't perfect. It had biases, corporate interests, and its own flaws. But there was at least an understanding that journalism's job was to scrutinize power, not perform public relations for it.

Today, criticism of the government is often treated as criticism of the nation itself. Many news channels seem more interested in managing public perception than challenging official narratives.

A pattern I noticed during the Neet Protests

During the NEET protests, I noticed something strange.

Instead of discussing paper leaks, accountability, and examination reforms, parts of the conversation shifted toward religious slogans and unrelated political narratives.

Why do public movements often drift away from their original issue?

Is this organic or does it happen because political groups try to capture public anger for their own agenda?

Something feels different about how Indian youth react to politics now

I genuinely think Indian youth have started processing serious issues through memes instead of discussions.

Unemployment?

Memes.

Politics?

Memes.

Mental exhaustion?

Irony.

Even things that would've caused outrage 10 years ago now become reels and satirical edits within hours.

At first I thought this was just internet humour. But now it feels more like emotional coping mechanism.

Maybe people are not disconnected from reality.

Maybe they’re overloaded by it.
