Helping others and being kind gives us a lot of strength and optimism in return.
But it also takes much courage to be kind in the first place.
It's a type of courage that comes from having a very functional childhood or
extremely supportive friends as an adult. (1/n)
I reactivate my account from time to time whenever something big happens in motherland.
But the urge I felt today after the sudden ceasefire was a strange mixture of hope and dread.
Now that the ceasefire has been breached, my wariness rises.
China may have entered the chat.
But there might be deeper forces at work here.
The China suspicion arises primarily because of the defensive optics of Indian officials to the ceasefire breaches that were earlier promised to be regarded as acts of war.
What exactly is making India worry so much ?
@Tim_Clif In an ideal world, we see a ruthless redirection of national investment away from socialist schemes towards manufacturing and deep tech.
Now is the time to set up the megafactories, riding on pent-up nationalist emotions.
But that's the thing:
"In an ideal world..."
Great.
Now what should GoI @narendramodi do with the gargantuan national energy that is built up in the masses searching for an outlet?
A ruthless redirection of funds away from socialist schemes towards manufacturing and deep tech.
Now is the time. Set up the megafactories.
@sidhant This is the perfect opportunity for GoI @narendramodi to justify a ruthless redirection of national funds from seva yojanas towards manufacturing.
You can even rally the otherwise socialist bottom quintile of Indian population to back this move on grounds of national safety.
@Grizzlyrang@rahulroushan An important thing I learnt is the value of having a fearless person who has faith in you.
Even one is enough to change your attention model, and that in turn changes your life.
@Grizzlyrang@rahulroushan I discontinued it. I'm still writing both shortform and longform though, but different alt, different universe.
Visa wagerah keliye bhi I had to clean up my socials. Will resume this account someday again in a new spirit, but not now.
IGL gave me so much man. it was the reason i could actually pursue this dream of doing comedy. cant believe how its turned out. samay’s genuinely been a big brother to us.
@Grizzlyrang@rahulroushan Hehe what's up.
I've been very detached from Indian politics the last 2 years. But once in a while something happens in India that makes me open this alt and rage post.
@mujifren Wignats and DehatBJP similarities:
1. Both are Dehatbitch
2. Both have collectivist herd Tschandala morality
3. Advocate free speech/anti-DEI but can't understand the concept of it
4. Have no optimistic or exciting future vision, only perpetuation of gerontophillic comfort zone
