wtf is this saying
academics can spew such bullshit. $1 for anyone that can explain this:
In the Mahabharata- India’s canonical Axial Age Politico-Philosophical text- the Just King has to learn Statistical Game Theory before he is fit to rule. Unfortunately, the unjust Tyrant, by a Darwinian process, also acquires this skill. Indiscriminate butchery, has never been valorised anywhere or at any time- because slaves are useful, more so when they turn into metics- like the butcher in the Vyadha Gita. Nevertheless, at the margin, such butchery does advance the salience of whatever Ideological social cement or whichever sub-caste with 'obligatory passage point’ status it is that expresses incarnates ambiguity with respect to it. Da Valera’s Ireland, Gandhian India, Truman’s post-Nagasaki America- institutionalised an ambiguity in a manner that those who remained in thrall to the adolescent fantasy of a transcendental subject considered to be destructive of the ethos of what were unquestionably rule-of-law democracies. That was all very well so long as the hyenas of Dialectical Materialism or Stucturalist Anthropology or Kojevian Neo-Conservatism or some other such oxymoron, were prowling around. Partisan Politics could easily recycle the disjecta membra of such intellectuals into the Frankenstein monsters whose weapon is the wedge issue.

Sounds like an 'intellectual' apologist, this Arun Ezhutadhan

yeah that's where I read it. some desi intellectual douche was opining on whether i-slamic kaboom is different than those that came before it. weird how he tries to draw parallels between the very real and those from mythologies. looks like they all go to the same school of equivalence

Isn't that how our own Comrade Daud responds to every iSlamic kaboom - that is if he does not disappear tempoprarily - by citing previous rulers like Ashoka and Lord Krishna?

all the popular posters have left the building. only the unpopular remain.
ps: i am an equal opportunity offender. if you don't find yourself in the list it is probably only because your name didn't come to my mind while posting. please take offense.
