The Medium is the Message.
A practical realisation that Social Media has nothing to do with 'socialising', i.e. sharing knowledges and making friends.
SM is mostly about expressing outrage, propaganda, amplifying animosities & mistrusts. More vicious at sharpening divisions. https://twitter.com/AnisShafiullah/status/1221000892306075648

Orwellian Civilisation:
An egocentric view of the world - a world divided into two super-polarised camps. Radically intolerant to every Other narrative. Views equally true to all forms of fascism.
The only beneficiary is the Big Brother, a wannabe God.

Indian Orientalism:
Reference to Biryani is used as a veiled stereotype to project Muslims as foreign meat-eaters.
In other words म्लेच्छ मांसाहारी, who are different from चण्डाल मांसाहारी - the exotic other, different from the despicable outcast. https://mobile.twitter.com/fayedsouza/status/1226392221093523456

To the Brahminist, the fact that majority of the educated and privileged Hindus and Jains voted for BJP is not depressing. Don't even raise the question! https://mobile.twitter.com/RealHistoryPic/status/1226466292095258624
For the Psephocracy that India has become, the latest evidence of Hindu Herd Morality is that half of Delhiites voted for BJP in #DelhiElection2020.
Tell Dhruv Katju and the Indian Historians that I have seen the Partition of India in 2020, which the Brahmins are covering up.

Dard minnat-kash-e-davā na huā,

Kaam gar ruk gayā ravā na huā.
Rahzanī hai ki dil-sitānī hai,
Le ke dil dil-sitāñ ravaana huā.

Satyam Bruyat:
Brahmins, no matter how genuine, will never tolerate Muslims asserting themselves peacefully. For them, secularism is only a mantle to hide their heJANEUmony.

Pogroms and fascism are always supported by the affluent, who always blame the victims.
Pogroms are never spontaneous and fascism is never reactive. https://mobile.twitter.com/vivekagnihotri/status/1232514777043230721

Brahminical Hegemony:
This video by @newslaundry is the greatest parody of itself.
They are yet to do a video interview with Anand Teltumbde, Kancha Ilaiah or even the famous Arundhati Roy.
Because these intellectuals have written many superb books. https://mobile.twitter.com/newslaundry/status/1234738493818978305

Newslaundry did an interview with @asadowaisi only after CAA was passed in Dec. 2019; but they did it with @ARanganathan72 in 2015 and with @MakrandParanspe in 2017.
Conclusion:
@newslaundry is just as Brahminical as Republic TV or Times Now.
And we know about Ravish Kumar too.

The worst enemy that India has are these liberal propagandists who run around drooling at the mouth professing to be liberal, and it is only our following of these liberals that has perpetuated all our problems. https://mobile.twitter.com/sagarikaghose/status/1243843926303232000
Very honest reporting, which the Bania did not pin; so it was ignored by all.

Turn the public against the dissidents: me, the little girl and the policeman - that's India; that's all 'us'. Who could be against us? Must be anti-nationals! #NecessaryIllusions. https://mobile.twitter.com/ARanganathan72/status/1246731324506787841
"Just having them watch the Superbowl and the sitcoms (Ramayana) may not be enough. You have to whip them up into fear of enemies. Some major monster is constructed that we have to defend ourselves against."
