As the election date approaches, the political parties are becoming increasingly busy. How can they reach out to as many citizens as possible? How can they maintain their identity?

And how to go viral in this rush? Whether it is because of this political noise of running away or due to lack of conscience and conscious political understanding, those who have come to us saying 'I do politics' are talking in unison, forgetting even the normal decorum of language. Video clips of the topics they have spoken about in the past and present, exceeding the decorum, have entered our hands through the windows and doors of social media. What kind of people have we become while listening to them! The effect of TikTok, reels and shorts, like the effect of psychotropic drugs, is being consciously or unconsciously affected by our thinking and thinking process. There is no government mechanism among us at this time to explain this effect. Because the government itself is trying to protect itself. 

We are not aware that our mobile phones are being dirty due to the passion, passion, revenge and hateful public expressions of the leaders. Instead, sitting in a tea shop, we are absorbed in the same things along with the steam of the tea. We are sipping tea as if debating. 

In the post-Gen-G rebellion scenario, many questions are floating in the air, some questions are such that neither the present nor the future will answer them. One type of people are spreading doubts and suspicions in a whisper. One type is enjoying reigning fear over us by repeating all the conspiracy theories. Another type is enjoying confusing us by spinning stale stories of political machinations from all over the world. In all this process, they are using social media to their full potential. And this noise has made the entire society suffocate. 

In times of such crisis, the parties should move forward. Because they had history. They had the experience of being in power again and again. However, they themselves have flown far beyond the society like a flower that blooms after a single blow. After the Gen-G rebellion subsided, they returned, but having lost even more consciousness. Having lost even more conscience and restraint. Amidst this chaos, they themselves returned as carriers of chaos. 

As time went by, it became painful to think that even the debate on the issue of politicians having their own limits and dignity would become irrelevant. Under the influence of social media, the issue of what is thought, what is consciousness, and how perceptions are formed gradually became secondary. Due to the immediate impact of this, we became so accustomed to the rush to react that we did not have time to think whether there was anything to the right or left of the scene we saw or the sound we heard, or whether there might be something else in the background. We fell into the trap of rushing so much that every day, every moment, we fell into the mood of an unknown competition to win over someone. With this mood, we are spreading everything thrown into the bsp;the Isn't our society getting used to this noise by now? Another danger has arisen. 

Whether those who have jumped into the political fray, whether they are new or old, all have the same ghost – to go viral as usual. And to climb the ladder of algorithms for that. There is excitement in their words, accountability has been lost. There is no restraint in their emotions, there is passion mixed in. There is no calmness in their gestures, there is excitement mixed in. There is no sequence in what they say, there is chaos mixed in. They are in such a hurry that there is a risk of an accident anywhere, at any time. And in this accident, you, our present and future are at risk. 

The society has become weaker by enduring the shock of one rebellion after another – like a patient exhausted by a sunstroke. Like a patient who has just been shifted to a post-operative ward. In the same way, the society, which is tormented by a long series of poverty, deprivation and frustration, has its own sorrows. The people trapped in suffering have a weak ability to think, deliberate and analyze facts for a long time. Sitting on such a weak society, at such a sensitive time, leaders speak the language of anger. They throw out the political trump card of hatred. They try to prepare the emotional ground for revenge. 

Those who are trying to involve us in the business of sentiment, passion and hateful language are our products. Sometimes they get together on their own, sometimes they separate on their own. They fight on their own, hug on their own. Sometimes they abuse each other to the point of pushing them to the wall. Sometimes they pretend to be snorting, saying that they will reveal the whole truth. Sometimes they make the issue of serious investigation and prosecution a political trump card by saying that the file is 'ready'. They are conveying such things to the general public - it seems that doing politics is running a shop of hatred. It is opening a store of revenge. It is setting up a shop of passion. All the people, who are tired of dreaming of development, who have been thrown out of their dreams by every turn of time, are doomed to wander in these shops, stores and shops.

Society is also restless. Society is still restless due to the stale announcements imposed by one unstable government after another in the last two decades. And some of the citizens are in a state of fear of having to sell their self-respect at the doors of government administration. Some are fed up with the torment of bowing their heads at the windows of administration. Some have fallen into the pit of debt after their dream flight to a country crashed. Some are in a state of despair after wasting both time and energy relying on false promises. Some have become separated without seeing any dim light of possibility even on the distant horizon. 

Time is like this, every new generation seems forced to live by sniffing the scent of old dignity. In a long cycle of tragic events, the greed has reached the throat of the people. From time to time, society becomes agitated and for a moment it seems to calm down. However, the leaders who govern us appear on stage in the old style and again tell us the mismatched accounts of the old days. By throwing away facts, statistics and analysis, they pretend to be trying to say something new in an impulsive style. They speak loudly with hatred and pretend to be angry. And these things keep circulating and reaching our mobile phones. Some come and say – I will take revenge. Some say – The account is still pending. Some say – I am ready to shoot. Some say – I will die a serious death. Some say – I will commit suicide in Tundikhel. Some say – I am ready to jump naked. Some even say – I am ready to open the gate. 

Ah, what a death thought! What self-hatred! What a horrible declaration! 

Georgetown University Director and Professor Daniel Bayman wrote an analytical article on how hate speech spreads violence in the world, in which he concluded that language increases the likelihood of violence even if it does not directly cause violence. Stating that such speech spreads through the media and social media and encourages people to express prejudice or engage in violent behavior, he wrote, ‘Responsible political speech and social media controls may be temporary measures, but hate speech is not enough to address the root causes of polarization and violence in society.’  Professor Daniel presented an example of a study on violence in Sweden in his article to illustrate that hate speech also creates dangerous emotions, which increased negative feelings towards the target community in those who heard hate speech. Another study conducted in Europe stated that violent speech by leaders develops a violent political psychology in their supporters and that violence targeting a community or group gains more legitimacy.  Violent calls have been used in politics before. However, at that time, such things were limited to those present at the meeting. And the limited media would make it news in its own style. In the days when the media did not have wide access, such things were distributed very slowly, which did not have an impact on the general public but only in a limited form. Parties would not refrain from using violent slogans and slogans that wished for someone's death in political slogans and rallies. They would say, 'Le le Janata Khukuri le ... lai Chapkaide'. 'Yaspalako Choeja lai Leija' was also heard. A generation that grew up listening to such political slogans is doomed to hear new versions of the same violent style, in new styles and forms, and even more extensively and intensively, even after all the 'changes' that have taken place in the meantime. Unfortunately, the new generation that is growing up and the Gen-G generation that is drawing the future is also in danger of understanding politics as just a continuous flow of violent words, provocative emotions, and hatred and revenge.

Since the second people's movement, Nepali society has faced a series of small and large movements and rebellions. There are many types of dissatisfaction and resentment at every level of society. From metered rates to the suffering of sugarcane farmers, from the disasters caused by environmental destruction to the anger of voices that have not received justice. From the cries of rape to the questioning role played by the state in incidents of violence, it is clear that our society is weak. Standing on such a weak society, leaders are spewing hatred and anger. Is it to go viral or to silence the voices of opponents? Is it because of their own past or because they think that society will get used to these and similar voices, those we consider leaders are spewing hatred in a series of ways. They are expressing anger. They are talking nonsense, forgetting the difference between obscene and vulgar. 

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has published a brief report on how hate speech and incitement to hatred occur during elections, in which it is pointed out that communities or any class or religious community are at particular risk during elections and the reason for this is the hatred and incitement given by party leaders and candidates. The report also mentions that in addition to hate speech by leaders, spreading misleading information can increase tension in society and increase incidents of violence and attacks. 

If we do not examine the digital footprint of new and old leaders who have come to rule us and question their unbridled speech or ask whether they have a sense of self-criticism about the past or whether they have an admission that they have spoken wrongly, we are sure to be badly affected by the feeling of hatred and incitement. Without the opportunity for calm and healthy review, we will neither get advanced politics nor the idea of ​​a civilized society. The mixture of language, violence, hatred, and confusion will once again transform us into a society filled with strife and chaos. At that time, the winners will be in a state of self-satisfaction, and the losers will once again be in a state of hatred and excitement. And we will be forced to look at ourselves and say with a sense of innocence – is this really a country cursed by Sati?
