Apologies To Anyone Who Ever Thought I Was Cool And Reached Out To Me Only To Discover I Am Just A Weird

apologies to anyone who ever thought i was cool and reached out to me only to discover i am just a weird little hermit who can't carry on a conversation to save my life

The thing is, I do think that sometimes both sides take it to the extreme, as people do. But it's the sheer hyprocrisy and self-hatred among Indian leftists that makes me stay the hell away from them. I don't think they are entirely wrong; I myself have an opinion that's somewhere in the middle. But these leftists try to call themselves open-minded and progressive and then constantly post some of the most asinine, close-minded and unempathetic takes on the planet. You'll see them talk about how the right never talks about hate-crimes against Muslims, while they do. But hate crimes against Hindus also happen, and they never talk about that either! And yet they feel justified in calling out the other side, like... the call is coming from inside the house, no? And it's even worse in a way, because I actually haven't seen any Hindu person deny that crimes happen against Muslims in India, but these leftists are constantly saying that Hindus are not persecuted in India at all, that we just have victim mentality and all that. I'm sorry, I must have imagined the genocide of the Kashmiri Pandits, the governments that tear down our temples, the governments that are able to just go and say that we need to wipe out Hinduism without any repercussions multiple times.

And then they try to say that Hindus co-opt the trauma of others and use it for sympathy, cause god forbid we try to relate to others, I guess. They'll say we use others' trauma to further our own agenda, and then go ahead and say things like "the Kashmiri Pandits wouldn't want you to fight for them like this," or "their trauma doesn't deserve to be used for Islamophobia." And it's right, but their intentions aren't good here. They only ever talk about the pandits trauma when they are trying to prop up their views and when they are talking about hate against Muslims. They never talk about the actual trauma Kashmiri Hindus have faced, because then they would have to admit that Hindus also suffer, and they can't do that.

And let's not forget the other hypocrisy. The way they'll talk about Hindus "colonizing" Kashmir and turn around and suck up to the Mughals and even the British. They'll raise a massive stink about us taking back one temple on one of our most holy sites that was razed to the ground by colonizers to build a Mosque that wasn't even being used. You'll never find these people talk about the impact of colonization on India, because that would mean they have to address the fact that Hindus suffered a lot under Islamic invasion. And it's annoying and sad to me that people have become so unable to criticize Islamic invaders without being seen as Islamophobic. Muslims have unfortunately faced a lot of racism, but that doesn't mean that Islamic colonization did not happen and that it did not affect us almost irreparably. We have to talk about it. But these people are allergic. They think criticizing a man who killed thousands, raped women and did such heinous crimes is bigotry. It's why I can't even agree with them even when our values align.

The thing is, I do think that sometimes both sides take it to the extreme, as people do. But it's the sheer hyprocrisy and self-hatred among Indian leftists that makes me stay the hell away from them.

PERFECTLY SAID. There's a reason I do not stick around with full leftists anymore.

Absolutely amazing, anon. Did not hold back and I love it. 10/10 ask.

You know why I think BJP lost Ayodhya and UP in general?

1. Shah was getting too arrogant for his own good. He tried to sideline Yogi. None of the candidates the UP CM suggested were appointed. It is evident Shah wants to be PM next, and Yogi was getting too popular. So, one reason can be that BJP misselected the ground leaders because, of course, Yogi knew his men and women best, and none of his suggestions weren't considered. Stupid civil war ended up being their downfall.

2. The government couldn't handle the backlash from the farm laws. UP and Haryana were the states most affected by this policy. The misinformation spread due to the farm laws bill should have been countered properly. The Khalistani agenda ruined it thoroughly. People just didn't understand which strata of farmers the bill would have negatively affected. There was no proper clarification from the government, and it was frankly handled abysmally.

3. The Agnipath scheme, which again affected mostly the north western Indian belt. Particularly UP. The government said that instead of the eighty years of pension (which came from tax payers money) which these young jawans who took voluntary retirement after five six years of army service and then started farming is a bad idea. Instead, they'll give more people a chance by reducing the term to five years. This would've just increased employment opportunities. What they missed was that they should've set alternate job opportunities for these men after their five year term gets over. This scheme was a mess.

4. The railway ministry should have looked after the proper functioning of the locals, which ran cross state in UP. Their conditions are horrifying. Instead, they only focused on Vande Bharat and bullet trains. These options will work wonderfully for the urban areas but not the rural ones. So they won mostly from urban wards, and the more numerous rural vote bank cast their votes in anger to the opposition.

Honestly, the loss in UP has nothing to do with Hindus and the Ram Mandir. At the very least, that wasn't the main reason.

BJP needs to get off their high horse and start focusing on the grass root level of their voters immediately.

For these people won't care about what developments their country is going through on a large scale - not over their own interests at least. As it should be.

“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches it’s arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action—

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”

-Rabindranath Tagore

Men have main character syndrome. Men always try to find ways to make everything about them. In response to the man vs bear debate men created their own with woman vs tree. Supposedly the woman in their lives don't give them space to talk about their feelings. And who said you're not allowed to talk about your feelings? Other men. Why does your emotions specifically need be spoken to women? What about your male friends or relatives? What do men call women who express their emotions? Hysterical and emotional. I've mentioned this before but men frequently use women as their unpaid therapist. Men expect women to be their free service providers. In this case, to provide men with emotional labour while giving women nothing in return. When women talk about their mental health men bring up men's mental health. When women talk about the abuse women go through men bring up the abuse men go through. Whenever a woman talks about women's issues there's always a man invalidating her by bringing up male issues. Men expect women to talk about male issues when those same men won't use their own platform or voice to talk about their own issues. They don't even care about women's issues.
