The entire show of the reconciliation pornography now taking place in Sri Lanka replete with tear jerking video images of all and sundry, especially the boring but earnest and amiable, is in fact polarizing the communities more than ever.<\/p>\n

It is not the images themselves of course but the reverse engineering that is taking place by targeted attacks on war heroes, etc. that is the rub.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Everyone knows what these attacks are and there is no need for any special articulation of the fact, but the sowing of hatred and revenge, passing off for reconciliation, could be called reconciliation pornography<\/p>\n

However those who appear in sleek black and white videos are not responsible for the further polarization of society as a result of \u2018reconciliation.\u2019
\nBut, as usual the polarization of society is being carried out on the backs of those who lend themselves for a cause whose repercussions they know not.<\/p>\n

A major part of these reconciliation efforts have been thrust upon us by a body of \u2018liberals\u2019 from various parts of the world, whose actions are only too well known to us.<\/p>\n

These people would eventually have to bear the burden of fissures that would occur in this society as a result of the polarizing reconciliation pornography that is taking place in society today. It comes in the form of harassment \u2014 quite deliberate \u2014 of soldiers by a certain coterie with support from high places, and such harassment is worn as a badge of honor by the perpetrators. It comes in various other forms of harassment and marginalization of people whose views are not kosher in the minds of the currently dominant coterie.<\/p>\n

We do not need to elaborate on the causative reasons behind this mentality. The banality of this evil speaks for itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
