@Cloudwatch199 if you don’t define you, you’re just giving them ammunition.

This is so straightforward. The target of the Information Operation is JD Vance.

If the anti-Indian hate can either make Vance unpalatable to the base due to his family or alienate the center-right, the objective will be served: Vance will lose and the hard right gets to name the heir to MAGA.

Vance is smart enough not to take the bait.

He knows that the best move is for the MAGA first family in a post Trump world to be his, not in a way that is focused on their race, but just low-key effortlessly American.

He’s making the correct move. If you’re American of Indian descent, that is the best timeline.

I think the problem is that Indians have a poor sense of what constitutes “strength” in American culture.

Complaining to authority is a sign of weakness. Emotional freak-outs (or resigned despair) are signs of weakness. Vicious attacks are a sign of weakness.

Strength is a kind of detached humor — to show you are genuinely untouched and that you have the wherewithal to point out the absurdity of the other side, collect the worst examples of what they’ve said and present those whenever they make an argument.

@GS05445168 i guess the first thing i’d ask is what motivates the “white dalit” commentary? genuinely curious.

[kśaeta @k5a3ta]

@shauseth didn’t see that coming!

@Cloudwatch199 @Ynotgreencards What does Iran have to gain by restricting Indian immigration to the US?

[kśaeta @k5a3ta]

@Cloudwatch199 @UnfiltdTruth respectfully man, this will only turn people against us

[kśaeta @k5a3ta]

@HGmedialimited @ChadSumitMishra It's kinda sad; almost as if he has no narrative except one defined by those who hate him

[kśaeta @k5a3ta]

the only way to do that would be to coordinate with others and disseminate pictures (not RTs) of the most extreme and distasteful anti-Indian sentiment.

get large accounts to show the horrible racism; build a reaction, convince people. the name of the game in insurgency is to get the other side to overextend and show their true face.

[kśaeta @k5a3ta]

@404pxtl @GS05445168 Nope; it doesn't. I think you were targeted. I'm just trying to increase the skill with which you respond.

Victory is defined by determining what games are played, not who plays the others' games more viciously.

[kśaeta @k5a3ta]

@404pxtl @GS05445168 Please. If you believe the measure of strength is histrionic wig-outs on the internet, you probably wonder why people treat you with a casual, polite contempt, but it's clear to the rest of us.

[kśaeta @k5a3ta]

A man should have and be practiced with weapons.

But you're not an individual fighting a bully; there's a system that's practiced at making individuals provide fodder to feed itself. That's what you're up against.

But frankly, you seem pretty smart, so if I can't convince you, maybe there is no easy solution.

@tszzl @Noahpinion I'm sure you could write a better one, but, as a draft: https://t.co/VKhamCA9Da

[roon @tszzl]

@Noahpinion they are lifting antisemitic arguments part and parcel and reskinning them it’s kind of interesting to watch. the whole schtick about dual loyalties and The International Indian

[kśaeta @k5a3ta]

The Overreaction

All Online discourse is about provoking an overreaction and then saying "Look, this is what they really think! Mask off!"

So when anyone of Indian descent: from India, an immigrant, a citizen responds, they find the worst cases and parade them as "all Indians."

The Tactic Part 2

As a result, they present this evidence while combining these with accounts that make racist attacks.

Americans of Indian descent then feel shocked. In the US it's 30% of people who want to end high skilled immigration. They are used to the 70% with whom we share trust and confidence.
