 From an aesthetic point of view, pornography refers to nudity.  Nudity in itself is a natural thing, but * pornography refers to a nudity that can be used to create excitement and excitement.  That's not it.  Pornography restricts a romantic act to an animal act as well as makes it a genre of the market, a genre in which the weak man's dignity, self-esteem, privacy, his appearance and inner self are stripped and threaded.  Goes  Market forces make a profit from it.  Porn stars make a living by selling their bodies.  Viewers get a lousy 'satisfaction' from this moral act that keeps them permanently restless. *

 After the rise of neoliberalism and the globalization of the media, social pornography took the form of a cultural industry in the form of reality shows such as the Big Brother.  In the meantime, social media has also grown rapidly and the bourgeois notion of the public sphere has become a joke.

 Commercially run social media has bridged the gap between public and private so badly that we, as social media users, are now happily exposing our private lives to social media.

 * The race to the bottom can only be advanced when the new 'social pornography' is more thrilling than the previous video clip.  The political economy of social media based on likes and shares also demands that sensationalism continue to grow.  The more you fall, the more likes and shares. *

 This is the cultural 'revolution' of the neo-liberal era in which Mufti Qawi has to be slapped in order to become a tuck talk star.

 * If social pornography is a cultural superstructure of the neoliberal economic base, then political pornography is its superstructure in politics. *

 The latest production broadsheet of this political pornography is:

  * The government wants to expose Nawaz Sharif, the Nawaz League in response to expose the PTI.  Gradually it became clear that not only the infantry but also the king was naked.  This political pornography will remain on the screen until a new video is leaked. *

 Although more than 90% of political porn plots revolve around corruption.  Sometimes Surrey Palace, sometimes Panama.  * When everyone is getting naked, Papa Johns' dhoti also opens. * In the fog of pornography, however, market forces are always dominant which are not visible.  * Audiences are also interested to the extent of porn stars. * So it should come as no surprise that political porn usually features the opposition.

 At a time when the country is in crisis and Pakistan needs not one, but two or three revolutions, look at the bankruptcy of the Pakistani ruling class that has nothing but social and political pornography to give to the people.  *

 * The state that failed to import a corona vaccine is so self-sufficient in social and political pornography that if there had been an Oscar award in that genre, the Pakistani ruling class would have been entitled to the prize every year. *
