I moved to the US from India when I had the chance because the working culture is atrocious in India. Colonization probably influenced how this culture came about.
But India always had strong hierarchies (like the caste system) so maybe it would've sucked anyways if it became a capitalist country without colonization
The :my-hero: worship is staggering in India, at least from what I see from related social networking.
The revolutionary and fascist potential in India right now is terrifying but also kind of uplifting in a weird way. If a country of over a billion people goes communist that would be a major weeks where decades happen moment.
Remember in 2020 when a quarter billion people went on strike in India?
Nope, Marxist Leninist. There is a pretty good Maoist faction in the north, but they are underground and not very powerful.
I imagine Indians on Twitter are significantly wealthier than average, and the self selection of having the flag in your name probably skews more right wing as well.
related: "if you hate the US so much, why don't you leave?" for which one good reply I've heard is "because I don't want to be subject to its foreign policy"
“Why would you rather live in the country dropping bombs than the one having bombs dropped on it?”
"If you hate me, why are you coming to my house now that I've stolen your television?"
if you hate the master so much, why do you pick his cotton
🇮🇳-emojis taking a break from harassing Muslims and asking Gal Gadot for feet pics long enough to ask the important questions.
As a resident doctor in egypt I make around 200 dollars per month, in USA I make 10 times as much (still peanuts but at least I have a brighter future)
Wanting to become a beneficiary of imperial plunder instead of its victim is understandable, but sounds sorta fishy if you put it this way.
i don't think you necessarily become a beneficiary of imperial plunder by immigrating to the imperial core. You simply go from being a victim of their foreign policy to being a victim of their domestic policy.
It's not necessarily, but I guess it's possible to be both the beneficiary and the victim.
It's a interesting question. Compare how differently immigrats from Latin American countries to US and immigrats from Latin American countries to Israel are seen in leftist spaces.
Going on Twitter to confront all of the illegal immigrants in my mentions.
This guy could watch a man being chased by a swarm of bees jump into a river and think "He must really love swimming!" Absolute moron.
