A signature experience of fascist creep in liberal societies is the shrinking space of intimacy and honesty for marginalized people. It’s also why the local is the right scale of resistance and why fascists MUST work on grandiloquent scales and why relentless mockery of such pretension is important.

Today, I read a bit about the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal, and it was a workable deal. All the P5+1 countries had the power to revoke the deal whenever they felt Iran was not complying with it (which it was complying). The lunatic Trump scrapped the deal just to please a few voters.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Exactly how I feel about BJP supporters. The evidence has been there for decades now that what it stands for is Hindu upper caste supremacy. And for good measure, for all the Jagdish Bhagwatis out there, the economy is a shitshow and our international standing is shredded. Bigotry is killing India.

I think, even with a ceasefire, the war will only stop where Israel needs direct interference from the USA. Otherwise, the air bombing in Lebanon and the genocide of the Palestinians will continue as they were before the Iran war.

The US/Israeli war was criminal and catastrophic, and it's great if it fails, but an Iranian regime that refuses to respect its own people is no heroic enterprise. Nor are the abusive Gulf regimes. I wish for better regimes for all the people, everywhere, because, hey, I live under a shitty one.

Neoliberalism Needs Neofascists "The neofascist assault on democracy is a last-ditch effort on the part of neoliberal capitalism to rescue itself from crisis. Public opinion has to be mobilized decisively against neoliberalism. Only then will this breeding ground for neofascism at last be undone."

Spin master at work. The issue is not them losing Lok Sabha seats but losing the bargaining power to the Hindi belt, which witnesses a huge spike in the number of seats.

With the way things are in India, I truly believe that a day would come when every BJP-RSS supporter would claim they were never a supporter of them. Importantly, they would be the loudest to claim that.

Just watched the 12-minute clip of The Economist, and it's a pleasure to say that liberals are fucked by Tucker Carlson. Anything above Tucker would've been beneath the dignity of humankind.

Israel has pushed ground forces into multiple areas of southern Lebanon They've displaced huge numbers of civilians... Yet it barely registers. Russia did the same in Ukraine and the world responded with sanctions, outrage and coordinated pressure The double standards are UNFORGIVABLE.

The regime which did not act this way for 12+ years, is starting to act now. Meaning: it senses changing tides. The regime is scared and that fear, plus the actions it takes to repress criticism and counterpoints will be the key to its downfall.

If this doesn't stop soon, this war and Trump's presidency will be America's grave, all because of the fanaticism of Israel. By the end of all this, the US will be left an economic disaster for good but with a severe price for everyone, especially Iran.

For the extremists of the BJP-RSS, deleting voters and slashing state funds wasn't enough; now, they're inciting communal riots to win WB. And all of this is happening through the in-house EC of the RSS. They took control over the police and asked their goons to go on a rampage across the state.

Israeli forces have expanded ground operations in southern Lebanon after indicating an intent to forcibly displace residents, destroy civilian homes and conduct strikes that could target civilians.

There's a guy called Professor Jiang on YouTube. Recently, he gained sudden attention because of his predictions coming true. So, with a sense of intrigue, I watched his interview with Tucker Carlson, and the guy is anti-immigrant, especially Indian immigrants. He's also a pro-white "civilisation".

Every opportunity to leech off people in this country is well utilised.

Israeli settlers set fire to homes and vehicles in al‑Funduqumiya, in the occupied West Bank, as settler violence further increases since the start of the US‑Israeli war on Iran. Rights groups say roadblocks and restrictions leave Palestinian communities vulnerable.

A violent, communal mob confronts an old man. One man stands up against the mob. And the Court berates that man. And asks him to "trust" the very same police force that let the mob roam freely, terrorizing people with impunity in the first place. Thank you BJP for turning Indian into this.

Thank god. There's still some platform where people are not talking about that god forsaken movie.

Considering the fact that this platform is dominated by Dems, it's hilarious and not shocking to watch very few posts from white people opposing or talking about the Iran war. Rather, it's diasporic population and outsider Republicans who are talking and opposing it. Says a lot about many things.

Except for working on people's issues, these saffron extremists will do every useless thing. Especially the ones they believe will curtail Muslims' privileges.

What really happened during the India-China border crisis, including at Galwan? Then army chief Gen MM Naravane's memoir provides extensive details, of political decision making, restrictions on the military and the disengagement process. That's why it perhaps remains unpublished till date.

I hope the conditions in the US are such that this cannot, in fact, go on for 3 more years. But in India, it's gone on for more than 10. Not this level of constant escalation, but the mainstreaming of public lynchings/murders (by both civilian and police brownshirts).
