There’s a full-blown meltdown over Zohran Mamdani’s win in the New York City mayoral primaries. But let’s be honest, the irony isn’t that Mira Nair’s son’s views are shocking or that he’s some sort of new-age radical. He’s a predictable byproduct. A politician grown in the soil of woke grievance politics, fertilised by performative outrage, and conveniently watered by the hysteria of Trump’s MAGA right. He exists because the extremes of American politics need each other to survive. So no, the real surprise isn’t Mamdani, or the unusual amounts of attention being paid to him. It’s the mirror he’s accidentally held up to the hypocrisies of the global left, the very ideological class he represents. Here’s a man who deletes his tweets, sanitises his feed, projects selective victimhood, weaponises identity. and still manages to rise. That’s not scandalous if you consider that the other extreme wilfully feeds this in order to justify its own existence. That’s textbook left-wing politics in 2025. What is fascinating is how quickly the same people who lecture the world about justice, pluralism, and free speech are willing to look the other way, as long as their side wins. The same progressives who scream censorship under Elon Musk are completely silent when Mamdani purges his history. The same activists who rage against ‘Hindutva fascism’ cheer on a man who simplifies India into a caricature of Muslim oppression, never mind the facts. Never mind nuance. Because nuance doesn’t trend. It won’t stand out from the crowd of the insular and inward-looking in Trump’s America.
