I am an Indian and I have noticed that Indians are way too proud of their country for some reason and at the same time lack any civic sense towards it, they are extremely loud and extremely proud. We feel like the world revolves around India and our culture is superior to that of others. Also, a considerable chunk of the population has been sold the “India is a world-leader” myth and they think India is somehow leading the world in innovation, science and technology, human development etc.,
Now, I know for a fact that this is not true, when I try to gauge the perception of Indians abroad on Twitter, I get pretty negative results, but Twitter has nothing good to say about any group of people, so… I kinda wanted to know what you people though of India, don’t base it upon the etnic Indians who might be your friends and are decent people, but base it upon the news you read, the stories you hear from those Indians, etc.
We are not interested in tying ourselves to backstabbing nations like USA or former coloniser UK. In the 1970s, these two countries sent nuclear submarines to nuke India. We were saved by Russia’s intel. Mother Russia is great. USA also has funded Pakistan for decades, that has housed terrorists that have attacked us on various occasions and killed far more citizens than that insignificant 9/11 thing.
Well, it’s not like you’re willing to cut ties with the West and align yourself with Russia either. Instead you’re trying to thread the middle ground by keeping your head down and keeping up trade with both. You’re not taking a stance, which is exactly why you’re not a political world leader.
Too bad diplomacy is pinching your little butt so hard. Here is something that will trigger you. I may be wrong though, you probably already support this.
It’s pretty telling that you think these pictures would be triggering to me. I’m not a nationalist, I have no problem saying that the nazi regime was horrifying. I have no issue saying that the current government unconditionally supporting Israel is a bad thing either. I’d never pretend the place I live in is the best place ever, or morally superior. Can you do the same?
And what place do I live in?
Anything goes with people that hate Russia. I am okay with believing they can believe in anything horrifying.
This thread is not the place for it.
This thread was also not the place to spread anti-communist propaganda about Russia. But you did not object to that, right? Also why are you afraid about people knowing USA and UK sent nukes for us in 1970s?
Anti-Communist? Russia has been a capitalist country since 1989, they’re not even claiming to be communist.
Damn I did not know the Communist Party of Russia, elected to govern, is capitalist. Next you will tell me western countries claim to be “civilised” and “democratic”, which I can also say is false.
You were just trying to spread propaganda rhetoric.
The communist party of Russia is a minority party in opposition, it’s not governing at all. That’s United Russia, which holds over 70% of the seats of parliament. United Russia is not communist. You’re very confidently incorrect here.
That makes both of us wrong then. Or is it just going to be me? Because you have an agenda.
How?
While you’re clearly a very neutral, balanced person, going through a thread on India insulting people and posting images of nazi Germany.
Yes, Germany is still a fascist state, considering their beloved support for Israel, and regular capturing of neonazis in society.
Your original word used to refer to Russia was “authoritarian”, which is anti-communist rhetoric. Russia is geopolitically communist, even if its economy is not. And every single government in the world is authoritarian. All this means that you wanted to be vitriolic against Russia, and that you are a vile, poisonous westerner.
United Russia is the ruling party since the fall of USSR and is absolutely conservative by any definition of the term. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation, their main political opponent, that is indeed communist, hasn’t been elected, ever.
No, you were saved by a Soviet intervention, led at that time by a Ukrainian man, by ships mostly made by Ukrainians.
It was Russia, not Ukraine. You may proceed to cry. And it was Russian intel.
Did I forget to tell you that you may proceed to cry?
In 1971? I’m pretty sure it was the Soviet Union buddy, and Leonid Brezhnev was from Kamianske, Ukraine. As was a majority of Soviet cold war equipment.
I know that doesn’t fit your political preferences and deep seated need to excuse genocide, but facts don’t care about your feelings.
