Only majority community (Upper caste - hindi speaking - hindus have freedom of speech). Infact they are so free that they can call for genocide on live television, and get away with it. If you're minority (especially a journalist), you'd be Jailed without trial for years (UAPA and NSA). Think of it as a modern day Gulag.

lol what? There have been plenty of Hindutva terror incidents, one as recent as the day before yesterday, when 3 men killed a couple of undertrials in front of live camera and then went on to scream the terror warcry of "Jai Sree Ram".

> If this is “fascism” as you say, majority of the Indians are happy living under it.

Do you have a sense of irony? Majority is always happy under fascism. It is the minority who matters in that case.

property is a man made idea. No reason to treat is as something sacred. And we already don't care about property when government bails out these crooks.

No, sometimes important posts slip past by. And I made this comment when this post was not on the front page.

because substack is bringing out "Notes" – something that serves the same purpose as Twitter.

PS: @Dang, this post should be much higher on the front page.

Indian media is hardly reputed.

India stands at 150/180 on Press freedom index, behind even many dictatorship.

Make that very clear. Indian media is not to be trusted.

not sundar pichai, but someone like Larry fink is certainly an oligarch. He's also had access to the inner core of the establishment.

That men who want sex, but cannot have it for a period of month should be counted as incels regardless of whether they think they are incels or not.

People seek divorce if their spouse isn't having sex with them for a month. I am applying that same heuristic to inceldom.

23% in 2018. It was about ~35% or so in 2022 IIRC.

And then you have to also factor in that men tend to lie a bit on these surveys.

Also factor in that it's only asking if they got laid in the past 1 year. Do it 6 months, and the figure shoots way up. IMHO, the time gap should be no more than a month or so. That would define real incels. 1 year is way too much.
