@GrungeQueef It is genuinely baffling how something can reach a vaguely human-shaped form without developing the instinct not to fuck with hosts as a guest.

Like, there's an entire world out there of intellectual and military giants who ruled over them not too long ago, and yet they behave like this, scamming the elderly and treating any country that lets them apply for residency as a dumping ground. You would think that someone over there would realize that cultivating this level of hatred from the West, especially as they continue to have issues with China to the East and Pakistan in the other direction, is a poor choice.

If I were Modi, I'd have cut the internet cables yesterday and imposed my own restrictions on outgoing immigration to only send people capable of basic politeness. As recently as the 1990's, they still had a reliably net-positive international reputation, and it could've been salvaged with the proper methodology without even losing too much in remittances.
