So none of the things that happened before October 7 justify Oct 7,

But everything that is happening after October 7 is justified because of Oct 7?

What kind of logic is this??

I am tired of listening to this again and again now. It's sheer hypocrisy!

@tokyo_0 Exactly. There is a saying in Hindi "parmarth duniya ka sabse bada swarth hai".

Meaning, doing religious charities or alms is the highest form of selfishness.

Thousands of people marched on London streets for nature, but none of the mainstream media covered it in the UK.

No wonder why some fractions of protesters choose to spray cornflower-based colours on famous paintings and monuments. It helps them to get noticed.

@tokyo_0 Yes. Some people keep saying that they are doing something to help people without and it's selfless. But it's never true.

Just because someone is good at hiding doesn't mean their intentions are selfless. Sometimes, the best disguises conceal the deepest selfish motives.

Companies are actively seeking "advanced coders" to train their AI models so that those AI models can replace them shortly!

It's like teaching a robot how to play chess, only to have it beat you and then take your place at the chess club -- an ultimate irony 😀

If you are doing this, you're scripting your own dystopian future in which your creation is also your fiercest competitor. Maybe leave out a few tricks -- you never know when you'll need to outsmart the very thing you brought to life!

@tokyo_0 I liked Jeremy a lot. But the way he has been treated by the current leadership of Labour is very bad.

I voted for Sadiq Khan in the Mayoral election -- but I don't think I will vote for them in any other elections going forward.

@tokyo_0 It's very depressing. Watching the pre-election debates makes it very clear that he is just another puppet without any idea to solve real problems. He is just repeating what conservatives say.

On July 4th, I will vote for the Green Party!

This will be the first time I won't be voting for Labour, and the reason is; I don't see any difference between them and Conservatives anymore.

Ambition without purpose is a very dangerous thing.

What can one person do? This elderly uncle is a concerned Indian citizen and today on the day of voting in Bangalore, he is going around on the streets with this message for our nation. This is the power of one common man ✊🇮🇳

@tokyo_0 @haskman A very common notion in India is; it doesn't matter whom we vote for, our life is unaffected.

Rise of Modi in 2013-14 changed it a bit and vote percentage grew but again it's down this year. It shows on the ground that at least 5-10 percent of people have lost hope and don't want to vote and skipping it.

@tokyo_0 @haskman You can research about the 'Universal civil code' in the Uttarakhand state. It has all the same exceptions like the past except Muslims. And even they are not opposing it there -- we haven't seen any public opposition.

It's all the hypocrisy of the BJP to gain hardcore Hindu votes.

@tokyo_0 @haskman Same applies to political choices. People need to finance their candidates themselves and then only expect them to be accountable to them and not corporate (which is the case now).

I do that as well -- put money where my mouth is 😀

@tokyo_0 @haskman The Hindu and the Indian Express are good in print media.

About Wire or anyone, there could be 1-2 wrong reports in a while but their business model isn't around misinformation and propaganda.

I am a paid subscriber to almost all of these, the Hindu and Express as well.

@tokyo_0 @haskman Don't consume TV media, rely on YouTube. There are channels like NewsLaundry, The News Minute, The Wire (English) The Lallantop, News 24 (Hindi) etc on a national level.

On the state level, I consume from individuals

@tokyo_0 @haskman Let me ask you this:

A party (BJP), which hasn't fielded even a single Muslim candidate for 500+ MP seats last time or this time is talking about law correction only applied to Muslims (20+ per cent) -- what do you feel about this proposal? Is it going to be fair?

Now Congress says, we won't let them do it as they are a communal party representing hardcore Hindus -- why are we discussing this and not about the BJP threatening the minority with this promise?

@tokyo_0 @haskman Muslim personal laws have been in place since 1952, and BJP has made that election issue and promised to bring UCC to their core voter. Which they can't, and even if they do, it won't be UCC but another act of alienation for Muslims.

Some Congress leaders must have promised to keep those laws intact while speaking somewhere.

BJP is trying hard to keep the election polarised but it's not working anymore. Don't help them... it's not even ranked in the top 20 issues around this ongoing election.
