The Void After the Dictator: A Lesson from Loki and Modern History
Rewatching Loki Season 1 recently, I came across a line that struck me harder than ever: “You may hate the dictator, but something far worse is gonna fill that void if you depose of him.” It’s one of those deceptively simple lines that carries a profound truth — both in fiction and in the real…

Can Humanity Ever Live Peacefully?

My Unfiltered experience with Racism – From Every Corner

Handling Racism
Racism. It’s a delicate subject, a conversation many avoid, yet it remains one of the most controversial issues we face today. Here’s a bold statement: “Racism— we’ve all done it to someone, and we’ve all faced it.” Now, many may disagree with this, but if you take a moment to reflect, chances are you’ve exhibited…

Why Blaming Refugees, Immigrants, and Students Misses the Bigger Picture
In recent times, there has been a surge in resentment toward refugees, immigrants, and international students in Canada. Many people have started to blame these groups for various societal issues, from economic struggles to strains on public resources, aka the housing crisis. However, it’s crucial to understand that the true responsibility for their presence in…
