Nice attempt at creating a strawman but that's not why they're hated by a certain segment of society. Off the top of my head, the following are the main reasons:
- Financial corruption on a scale unmatched by any other entity in Pakistan.
- Enforced disappearances.
- Supporting terrorists including those who attack Pakistan.
- Forcing through suboptimal foreign policy measures that benefit them but harm Pakistan's interests on the world stage.
- Repeated coups resulting in institutions reminiscent of a newly independent country since they were never allowed time to develop and have to start from zero after every dictatorship.
With that out of the way, the particular brand of Jamhuriat that exists in Pakistan is a gift from the military anyway seeing how they created the MQM and the Sharif brand, and then elevated them to the highest echelons of power. Anyone who claims to be a patriot and yet defends the indefensible, willing to look the other way when it's the army but not when it's a civilian, is, simply put, lying through their teeth and it's that kind of intellectual dishonesty from the public at large is why they deserve every bit of misery the ruling class, civil, military, and mullah, throw their way.
