While it is easy to use phrases like “use critical thinking”, this is not easy for elders or cousins in families to be told, as this is not lucid to understand in a snap. It is essential for criticism to be easily communicable to ordinary people that watch Google Feed or MSN News daily, and I feel that such criticism is not even easy to access or read, considering ordinary people have been cornered from MSM, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and rest of Big Tech and Western media apparatus.
If you love your BBC and CNN feeds, avoid this post, this is not for you.
I think this would be useful for you to reflect on.
Also Wikipedia has a great article on Gish galloping if you’re in a country where you can access that.
I doubt you can be saved. West needs to fall and doom beyond recovery and be unable to exploit rest of non-Anglo world, so that morons like you are forced to act in line.
I think it is better for me to not engage with a dishonest manipulative white saviour. And I can read anything I want from India, and could use VPNs in China, Russia, and all the places western circus clowns call bad.
Fair enough, I agree a lot of the western countries do messed up shit and should definitely be held to account. I just don’t have such a rosy eyed view of the dictatorships of the world either (glad you were able to circumvent the censorship laws while you were there btw although not sure why you would want to do that? Do you disagree with the states views?). I’d also suggest trying to stay away from the saviour retoric though, it’s never healthy no matter who is using it and in this case it just comes across as a bit of a bad joke if I’m honest, particularly as I don’t even live in a western country.
Anyway, India is a really beautiful place, wish you and your folks all the best.
Damn bro, you handled that like a boss.
I hate your kind of Western people even more, with this sugarcoating tactic meant to defuse the very animosity that is born of your “holier than thou” attitude of “we know whats best for you”. Stop being so fucking arrogant, Anglo-Saxons. We hate it. And its best to stop acting like you folks know what is best for rest of the world.
Your comments reek of this “we know whats best, stfu” attitude. Get a reality check, because you people live in lalaland off of centuries of our exploitation. Western countries are not democracies and China/Russia are not dictatorships. This black and white nonsense created by West needs to stop.
Go wish yourselves the best instead, because Western countries will need a lot of luck in trying to work themselves up after the non-West hegemony is fully functional, and burned bridges rebuilt with the impossibility of further exploitation.
Well, I guess we can’t all be as humble and level headed as you.
If there was a shred of altruism and morality, a yearning for communism and a hatred for oppression and holier than thou arrogance, there would lie a chance for humility and working towards the greater good rather than individualist imperialism with an impulse to capitalise and leech everything possible.
