I get it. And I can do the same thing, a lot better than a lot of other ppl on SM.

But, I won't. You know why?
Despite all my impassioned & annoying rants on SM, I'm not really affected by what's happening in India rn. The cost of living might be high, & everything in general sucks. But personally, I can afford to weather these storms w/o the...

...(in the middle of a pandemic; a deplorable health system; almost no proper social safety nets to fallback on; & no one to really do anything about it).
Being aware of human suffering, if not experiencing it: is the strongest tether to our humanity.

There's no "perfect" candidate & there's no "perfect" political party. But, with what passes for "leadership" in this country & the state we are in; I'm open to practical solutions.

I might not completely agree with the candidate/the political party: but it's not about me. It's about the ppl who need change more than I do.
Pls don't get me wrong. I'm not promoting sycophancy.

I believe in constructive criticism (which I have & will engage in, when it's warranted).
The institutions, media, & every pillar of democracy; is compromised. India is being called a "partly free democracy"/"electoral autocracy".
There is no "fair" fight. That's why...

...I don't think there's anything wrong with being a little biased/giving a leg up to anti-f@scists.
Don't forget the farmers. They're protesting since so long & from the looks of it: this regime, isn't going to budge an inch, to help them out.

...that doesn't compromise on the core objectives of an anti-f@scist agenda, is needed. It would literally save lives.
Lampooning @RahulGandhi, by engaging in casuistry; has become something of an unofficial flex, to a claim of "intellectual honesty", on SM.

Again, this isn't about blind bhakti. It's about not letting the negativity overpower you enough to lose sight of what's important.
When I say/write stuff like this (which ppl might find sappy & irritating), I feel like a looney. I'm not some old/...

When f@scism is defeated, we'll have freedom to bring about nuanced change.
After everything is said & done, we might not be able to achieve all that we want: but we have to try.
Least you can do: not hurt the cause, if you can't help it.
