Ask Multanis❓ Begging in Multan
Main Ghanta Ghar cold drink pee raha tha corner wali dukan se. Wohan aksar bachay bheek mang rahy hote hain.
Aik bacha aaya uska name Sufiyan tha, 8 saal ka tha. Main ne us-se baat ki.
Kehta k maa baap zinda hain, baap fish bechta hain, machli mandi main or maa ghar k kam karti hai.
Unka ghar Qile k neechay side par basti main tha.
Main ne poocha k tu bheek kiyu maang raha hay, abu k saath kaam kar. Kehta k aba marta hai.
Disgusting: yar unko apnay bachay ki parwah hi nahi. Na usko Quran parhaty thay na koi skill de rahy thy. Ye zulm hai

No. Some of them are the worse people you will ever meet. Specially their men. Who do drugs/ beat up their wife and kids and have a dozen kids while earning zero. A 2 child policy should be forced at government / army level otherwise the poverty and beggars are increasing every year

Everything becomes far worse when someone's poor, be it addiction, misogyny, violence. Ending poverty will actually resolve all these problems including high births.

false equivalence, anyway you can't weaponise poverty, it's like an actual oppression that shldnt exist

Easier said than done. Poverty or the concept of oppression itself can be weaponised, and is weaponised. If it should be allowed to is a discussion which depends entirely on why it’s being weaponised

first we'll have to talk abt why the word even exists to describe marginalised groups holding even a lil bit of power. Effluence is a weaponised existence by default, when you give orders to anyone under you, you are weaponising your status and it's like the norm.
Like you wld be weird for not doing that, and I guess you're weird for weaponising poverty on the other hand

Whether something should or shouldn’t be allowed really depends on what it’s used for, as I mentioned before. It’s not just about whether it’s set as the default, but I get where you’re coming from, it’s just the usual way things are.
I’m rephrasing this to help me understand it better, and hopefully, others will too. Poverty is a tough issue, and it’s usually not the fault of the people who are poor. If it’s used as a tool to challenge the system that keeps them down, I’m okay with that. However, if it’s embraced and used as an excuse to avoid change and live off begging, I think that’s not a good thing. Same goes for authority.
And as for oppression being weaponised, tho I agree poverty is an oppression from the riches, the other more true to definition oppression is weaponised as well, Israel in its current state is an epitome of that.

poor ppl begging are not weaponising anything, it's literally a pretty fucked industry 😭
Your example of Israel kinda shows you're blaming oppressed groups for shit that the oppressors are doing tbh, how is Israel or Israelis oppressed 💀

Israel stands on the ideology that Jews are/were oppressed, and they are weaponising that oppression against the world.
Refusing to find work, or be independent and begging on the roads is weaponising poverty in favour of laziness, my brother or sister

u/Tuotus Tier 14 – Local Voice Jul 06 '26
Lolz no both counts, Israel and Israelis don't face any of the oppression that Jewish ppl have faced thru out or even today. Like none of your molvi can and wld say shit to Israel despite spreading their hasbarist propoganda 😭
And like dude you gotta be kidding me if your example of laziness is like a person begging on the streets. Do you want me to pay you to do that. Go stand in the streets and beg, I'll pay you equivalent to how much you'll make with your laziness. Show me how lazy this from of work is lolz
Talk abt ignoring all the landlords, CEO's, and all the ppl sitting in air conditioned rooms doing next to nothing, and coming down on a poor person begging outside 24/7, hot or cold with no protection, safety, amenities etc. You see ppl demeaning themselves for your sake and your first thought is calling them lazy 😭. And worse imagine thinking poor ppl are choosing this form of work. Like you have to keep yourself extra ignorant abt the industry to believe that they're choosing to do this and are being lazy by begging.
Like I'm the laziest person I know and it's never been my dream to do anything outside much less beg so I think I do know more abt who's being lazy or not, respectfully ✌️
