    having a vivid vision of Hetalia-core ship art drawn by a Hindutva israelaboo portraying Israel as India’s tsundere lover being posted on the musk website and all of the replies under the post being people with Israeli flags in their bio unearthing slurs forgotten by history

    India really gives off the vibe of a country that doesn't know what the fuck it's doing. In the same year its officials will claim "leadership of the global South" and then alienate the entire global south by backing Israel against Palestine.

    How did a nation of colonized people who threw off the shackles of their oppressors end up becoming such huge simps for imperialism

    • zed_proclaimer [he/him]58•7 months ago

      Because that "throwing off the shackles" was moreso in actuality a mediated transition into neocolonial status with a western-friendly comprador class in charge. You see this in many "former colonies" that just so happen to be completely dominated by the "former colonizers". In Africa, up until very recently, France still controlled massive sections of the continent indirectly via economic and diplomatic coercion and france-friendly puppet dictators.

      Not every "independence" is created equal. Some nations truly gain independence and forge their own path, such as Cuba and China, but even they still have to deal with a lot of contradictions dealing with economic ties to their former colonizers.

          Ah yes. China, where the new Govt is even more imperialist and fucked up then any other govt.

          ....more imperialist than Imperial China? Hell, even the ROC held more territory than the PRC. Taiwan literally claims more land than the mainland currently occupies, such as the entirety of Mongolia.

            Taiwan's claimed airspace also extends deep into mainland China so I'm not sure why anyone takes their claims seriously

        • @isa41@lemm.ee10•7 months ago

          Any person who thinks China is imperialist either A) Doesn't know what imperialism is, B) Believes silly lies about China that are easily and readily proven false, or C) Are themselves the ones spreading those lies for ideological reasons.

      I'm told by an Indian comrade that much of the media class and the bourgeoisie are still educated in England and the US, giving the UK and US a great deal of influence over the comprador ruling class.

      There's 200 million Muslims in India, they tend to be pretty pro-Palestine from what I've heard?

      Most of the upper class still speak English

      • BoxedFenders [any, comrade/them]26•7 months ago

        Not just the upper class, most of their college educated population speaks English fluently. Although that is a minority of their total population, it is still over 80 million people.

      How did a nation of people who survived the holocaust turn around and do an ethnic cleansing?

      • D3FNC [any]6•7 months ago

        This gets even trickier when you dig into contemporary documents where the founding Zionists discuss their ongoing support of the third reich

      As with most things, it is the fault of the British

  • UlyssesT [he/him]44•7 months ago

    I am genuinely disturbed by how many Indian nationals I see online that are out loud full blown my-hero fanboys. Why? Just fucking why?

    I remember seeing a 4chan comment of some Indian essentially willing to prostrate himself at the feet of neo-nazis as long as they got rid of the Muslims

  • @TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id9•7 months ago

    IMO Indian stands with Israel and Russia is because when they were at war with Pak & China, they were the ones that have them weapons.

    India sent relief to Ukraine while buying cheap Oil from Russia. It will mimic similar strategy with this war too.

    That way, they can't be blamed by any side at the end of war.
