Shocking to learn an ethnically homogenous petrostate with a $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund and restrictive immigration policies is able to provide its citizens with a generous social safety net

[Arshdeep Singh Saini @the_lama_singh]

Truth is, Sikhs lack courage to face truth, this is why they get agitated, let alone even list to truth; An act below cowardice.

If Sikh really want to know what happened in Punjab, they must first be willing to know and accept what happened in Harimandir Sahib under Bhindranwala.

[Lucius - The Prophet Of Decay @BaneThe76451]

Imagine thinking that women going to a club, getting drunk and going back home with a hyper sexual and jacked tall guy to get her holes smashed all happens because some completely abstract entity such as "the patriarchy" exists. And that if somehow we removed this phantom entity women would suddenly not feel attracted to that dude.

This is the level of self delusion going on in feminists' minds.

[Mohan Sinha 🇮🇳 @Mohansinha]

What is it with us Indians? We constantly complain that others are ahead of us.
But when someone tries to do something innovative, all we do is find fault. Be it a new computer operating system, a tunnel, or a new road under the sea, a bridge, an aircraft, a car, or a new airport, we go digging for flaws. Then we gleefully blame someone we don’t like - an industrialist, a politician, a political party or even the government - in the hope that it destroys the product and brings down those responsible.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Just like crabs in a basket, constantly pulling each other down.
That’s why we’ll never be the best at anything. Because all we do is find fault.

@wokeflix @ramnikann Aap isko "human rights activist" maante ho?

OK. So Helen’s beauty sparks a war.

Athena is a strategic goddess guiding Odysseus.

Penelope embodies clever loyalty.

Circe turns men into pigs, which frankly is still the most realistic female character arc in literature.

Calypso traps the hero on an island for seven years.

Cassandra can literally see the future but nobody listens, making her the first woman in recorded history to experience a meeting.

The Sirens weaponize music.

Nausicaa saves Odysseus when he washes up naked and useless.

Andromache gives one of the most devastating anti-war speeches in the Iliad.

Hecuba is basically the emotional wreckage of empire in human form.

Aphrodite starts half the problems in Western civilization by being hot and petty.

Hera is running divine opposition research.

Thetis gets Zeus involved because Achilles is having a workplace dispute.

But apart from Helen, Athena, Penelope, Circe, Calypso, Cassandra, the Sirens, Nausicaa, Andromache, Hecuba, Aphrodite, Hera, and Thetis...

WHAT HAS HOMER EVER DONE TO GIVE FEMALE CHARACTERS ATTENTION?

[Sunanda Vashisht @sunandavashisht]

I have been holding back because I truly understand the pain of Punjab and ordinary Punjabis but there is so much propaganda everywhere. Khalra was a hardcore separatist. He was a soft front for Khalistani terrorists giving them a cover of Human Rights in western capitals. 25,000 disappeared number has never been proven in any court. This is not to say there were no police atrocities. But always think - what came first - Gun or encounters? KPS Gill saved Punjab for India. He is a hero. Individual stories of brain washed foot soldiers of terrorists and their families will always be gut wrenching. They can become subjects of poems and novels but governance will look at the bigger picture. Zee and RSVP pictures have erred big time.

Just watched Satluj

- It's a great one time watch movie
- but it shows assassination of a CM with a happy BGM
- Justifies Khalistani extremism in almost every scene
- It also whitewashes every bad deed which will be done by khalistanis in future
- America based actor, Diljit has tried his best to poison the minds of Indian youth while sitting in Canada
- KPS Gill was appointed by PM then removed by another PM and later brought back by a different PM to save Punjab
- He removed 700 Khalistani terrorists by tying their legs on jeeps
- Satluj has shown him in a bad light and portrayed a government officer who was trying his best to protect his country as villian

Diljit Dosanjh tries every year to show India as a violent country while sitting in canada. He should be blacklisted and his entry into this country should be restricted 🙏

[Phield Martiall Jambavan @SirJambavan]

This - I repeat ad nauseum - is the most critical failure of Indian Humanities departments. They have largely been colonial slaves; faithfully parroting the colonizers narrative and gaskighting the natives.

Start with the practice of manual scavenging. Do a factual study.

@tehseenp @kushal_mehra Now give the cost estimate for implementing that at the 1,00,000 pumps across India.

Keep in mind the mpney for that will be borne by the taxpayer that you're supposedly agitating on behalf of.

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

Telltale sign of narcissism (real, not the internet made up stuff) is when someone is kinder to workers and strangers than to their own families. Major red flag. Feel bad for this guy. He's stuck for a while until kids grow up.

@infinitchy With ideological purity, movement is only open to non-Ambedkarite Hindus. But did all of them join? No.

With integration, the population of potential joinees is widened.

Not every Ambedkarite is a blind follower of his every word, unlike say Mohammedans.

[Sort Thyself @sort_thyself]

@infinitchy As a general rule, movements grow larger by integration, rather than exclusion.

The obvious tradeoff to this is dilution of purpose.

On the other hand, strong guardrails maintains purity of purpose but scope for growth is limited.

I am not discussing about a specific issue.

[Les Mileistes Français 🦁🇫🇷 @Mileistesfr]

Christopher Nolan se vante de ne pas avoir de téléphone et de ne jamais utiliser internet.

En ne s'informant que via les journaux et la télé, il a fini par être totalement déconnecté avec l'ambiance générale qui tend depuis plusieurs années vers un dégoût généralisé du wokisme.

Jaguar avait vécu un désastre similaire en 2024 avec un rebrand woke qui a coulé la boite, soit la même année que la préparation du tournage de l'odyssée par Nolan.

Il n'y a au final pas de pire "bulle cognitive" que de ne pas être sur les réseaux.

[Dehati Armageddon Neutraliser @ImperiumHindu]

Saner among us millenials literally laugh when we see such takes.

To be fair, there's a lot of room for improvement and sometimes you do get blackpilled by seeing some gems of vishwaguru but even then I still think this kind of opinion is objectively untenable.

You guys need to understand where India is coming from so you can curtail your unrealistic expectations.

We have seen India where

> 40% of population practiced open defecation

> crushing extreme poverty was ubiquitous except some prominent urban clusters

> GOI was getting bitch slapped by pakis again and again and couldn't do shit. Our people were getting killed in interior cities on almost a monthly basis

> We were wasting huge opportunities like setting up a semiconductor fabrication plant with help of likes of intel sheerly due to govt apathy.

> Where naxalites literally ran parallel government in ~10% of area of Indian republic in the red corridor. They would keep killing crpf jawans and tribals with animalistic brutality. Whenever paramilitary had some of their important guys surrounded, they would get orders from highest echelons of Indian state to let them go and 'have a dialogue'. Quite unsurprising since many ex naxals were part of extra constitutional apex body called NAC which actually ran the country.

All of this was as late as early 2010s

But today's India is different- it is now practically open defecation free; It has UPI which even a vegetable vendor uses and which was literally unthinkable even in early 2010s; it now responds to pakistani sponsored terrorism decisively (trust me, for many of us, bombing of LeT and Hizbul Mujahideen HQ was literally a personal payback and in fact quite unbelievable ); it now has 2 Semiconductor fabrication and around a dozen ATMP/OSAT facilities which are close to being operational; it today builds infrastructure like roads/ports/airports/metros/railways with incredible rapidity.

This is quite extraordinary compared to the kind of India we had been seeing.

This is literally the greatest at which we have ever seen India to be. That's why we are generally hopeful even when we get blackpilled sometimes.

We are going to take our rightful place in the assembly of nations which was denied to us since the day Marathas lost Delhi to British.

To quote Swami Vivekananda, " The longest night seems to be passing away, the sorest trouble seems to be coming to an end at last, the seeming corpse appears to be awaking. She is awakening, this motherland of ours, from her deep long sleep. None can resist her anymore; never is she going to sleep anymore; no outward powers can hold her back anymore; for the infinite giant is rising to her feat"

Our time has come.

Gamification works because it is built on understanding INCENTIVES.

Most civil laws don't function well, because they don't address incentives at all, they just penalize undesirable behavior.

Taiwan solved tax evasion in 1951 with a trick so cheap it should embarrass every tax authority on the planet.

The problem was an all-cash economy full of small shops. A merchant pockets the cash, skips the receipt, and the sale never existed. Auditors can't catch what was never recorded, and hiring enough of them to watch every noodle stand costs more than the missing tax.

So finance chief Ren Xianqun flipped the incentive. Print a lottery number on every receipt. Draw winners every two months on live TV. Top prize today: NT$10 million, about $310K.

Suddenly the customer and the shopkeeper want opposite things. The merchant wants the sale off the books. The customer wants the ticket. And there are millions more customers than merchants. Every transaction now carries a built-in witness demanding the paper trail.

Year one, reported tax revenue jumped 75%, from NT$29 million to NT$51 million. Seventy-five years later, roughly 70% of Taiwanese still play. Convenience stores redeem the smallest NT$200 prizes at the register, so even a coffee receipt feels like a scratch card.

The elegant part is what the audit force costs. The prize pool runs about NT$7 billion a year, roughly $20 million. In exchange, the government gets 23 million unpaid auditors working every checkout line in the country, forever. No inspector general on earth delivers that coverage at that price.

Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Slovakia all copied it. The most effective compliance tool ever built looks like a game, and that's exactly why it works.
