The way middle/upper class Indians shout at employees is something else
🚨 URGENT | BENGALURU AIRPORT T1 At Taste of India, Bengaluru Airport T1 (Gate 16–17), our family ordered VEG BIRYANI, clearly mentioned on the bill, but we were served NON-VEGETARIAN FOOD. We are a strictly vegetarian family, and even children unknowingly consumed it. This has caused severe distress and hurt our religious sentiments. 🎥 Videos of our conversation with the restaurant manager & chef are attached. They also confirmed the food was having chicken. Bill and other evidence are also attached. We request FSSAI, Bengaluru Airport and concerned authorities to urgently investigate, check CCTV/order records and take strict action. @fssaiindia @BLRAirport @AirSewaIndia @jagograhakjago @PMOIndia @CMofKarnataka @DKShivakumar @JoshiPralhad @PrashantKej @AakashBansal94

The strongest argument I’ve ever heard in defence of patriarchy is the hot chapati. Someone has to keep making them while everyone else eats, and that someone is rarely the man demanding another.
But what happens when you draw a line between rice-eating and roti-eating India? The Census, economists and several decades of research start telling a rather curious story.
Introducing Rotinomics: where a humble flatbread finds itself accused of being an accessory to patriarchy.

"It sounds like a qawwali" yeah well classical music, like palaces, temples, garments, everything in the movie and in Indian culture, is a fusion that evolved over time. You are deluded if you think there's a line between "alien" and "authentic". And we used to be okay with that.

fun french song to discover today (linked below):
check out the lyrics in french and english!
Even those on the left are quick to scold "hooligans" but the hooligans in uniform are never chastised for maiming, lynching and beating unarmed protestors

European liberals endorsed the U.S. bombing UNESCO world heritage sites in Iran, and now they are like "the political violence of targeting the Hermés boutique must end! 😭" You are a bunch of racist assholes and hypocrites
Do not go into right wing discourse about the French protests, it's a cesspool of the vilest racism. In the end the only way to get rid of that is to win
It's just shocking how common the use of the terms "barbarians", "invaders", "Islamists" etc has become when talking about whole groups of people. Well, not shocking but sad how little we learn from history, even when it is a core part of our education. Ideology trumps all.

The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar! - Karl Marx, The Civil War in France
The history of space travel in the USSR puts the lie to the idea that communism, even in a formerly peasant nation, cannot come up with amazing technological leaps
The flying car looks like shit, releases enormous amounts of pollution. But the funniest thing is people claiming communism, which sent the first satellite into space, couldn't have done this.
