OF THE
TIMES
The desire to pop a particular person in the face is generally rooted in some backstory โ evidence of inexcusable behavior, a history of being a terrible person who is somehow beyond the reach of even God's punishment, and quite simply: for being a major dick.As I also pointed out, I'm not saying that anyone should actually punch any of these people in the face โ or better yet โ in the genitals, because THAT WOULD BE WRONG. But, as Debbie Harry once sang: "Dreaming is free."
What sets them apart for all of the other dicks โ like for example, every person who drives a black BMW โ is a certain look on their face that has a triggering effect. A smirk, a sneer, the droopy-eyed too-cool-for-you look.
Those are the punchable ones.
Bhopal gas tragedy was a political, economic, legal watershed for India and the planet. It was a toxic tragedy at two levels the leakage of a toxic gas from a plant producing toxic pesticides, the continued presence of 350 metric tonnes of hazardous toxic waste from the now-defunct Union Carbide India Ltd's plant in Bhopal, combined with a toxic influence of corporations on courts and successive governments.Legally, Union Carbide and the US courts escaped liability and responsibility for the damage, setting a precedent of governments shrugging their duty to protect their citizens, taking away citizens' rights and sovereignty in order to make settlements with corporations, letting them off lightly.
Comment: Even if the vast majority of police have no affiliations to organizations like the infamous KKK, it is clear that there is an institutionalized racism that permeates the police forces in the US that are sworn to 'serve and protect'. As the video above suggests, and as articles such as this one make clear, the very foundations of US society seem to rest on the subjugation and abuse of African-Americans. It is just that now, as the most pathological elements of our society (which have always existed to some extent or another) have been nurtured in service to the US's worst drives and modes of operation - that we see more clearly what's always been a very disturbing problem.
