How to identify a fake Liberal 101

Instead of welcoming or appreciating you speaking or thinking, a fake Liberal will always try to stop or intimidate you against thinking and speaking your mind.

All this while chiming three buzz words: Constitution, democracy and freedom.
How to identify a fake Liberal 102

A fake Liberal will always be obsessed with problems, never the solution.

And not real world problems. But imagined intellectual problems.
How to identify a fake Liberal 103

Entitlement.

A fake Liberal will always talk about their rights, never duties. Will always ask for something as deserved from authorities and even other people and concoct reasons for why they deserve it without having to do anything.
This is a live example.

Selective outrage.

A fake Liberal loves outraging but only against some chosen few. ImageImage

False equivalences.

The moment you confront a Liberal with a real problem and issue, their first response will be to draw false equivalences. But so and so also...

They will never address the issue at hand.

Branding.

Fake Liberals brand & label any opponent to demean & compromise them immediately & stop people from listening to them. Islamophobe, racist, communal etc are favs.

This puts others on the backfoot & stops them from speaking freely.

Warped sense of rights

Fake Liberals hold individual rights supreme & believe societal norms should not hinder in anyone's life & choices. They ignore the other person's beliefs and sentiments because 'my right is greater'.
1/
But when they need something - like free Healthcare & free college education - they want the society to take care of them. 2/2
How to identify a fake Liberal 108

Fake Liberals feel entitled to control democracy. They have come to believe that democracy is and works for them and never the other side.

And to achieve this they will be routinely OK with undermining democracy.
How to identify a fake Liberal 109

Freedom of speech is a farce for them. Basically, fake Liberals believe they have the freedom to offend others while they also decide who doesn't.
How to identify a fake Liberal 110

Fake Liberals believe in saying what seems to be the rightest, most noble things regardless of what the ground realities are.

Basically they perpetuate a false reality and a Utopia that doesn't exist while denying troubling realities.
How to identify a fake Liberal 111

Fake Liberals love dissent when they do it but not when anyone else does it.

They are truly incapable of accepting a difference of opinion. They love only convergent opinions.
How to identify a fake Liberal 112

Even though fake Liberals often talk about a diverse and inclusive world, they will be the first ones to cut you out if you don't talk and think like them.
How to identify a fake Liberal 113

A fake Liberal will often talk about a seamless, division-less, border-less world but will have a fence around their house.
How to identify a fake Liberal 114

A fake Liberal will publicly espouse views like 'everybody is equal'.

But a fake Liberal will always have a sense of elitism. That they are better than everybody else. They will often throw this in your face.
How to identify a fake Liberal 115

To be fake Liberal, it's a prerequisite that you are an 'animal lover'. But for a fake Liberal, this love is limited to their own pets, maybe some strays.
This love is thrown out of the window the moment it becomes about the meat on their plate

I must confess I sometimes feel ashamed that till a few years ago I hadn't even heard of the Kailasa temple, majestic and beautiful, cut out of a single cliff. Unique in its size. For some reason it's just called cave no 16 at Ellora complex and never used as a symbol of India
One hears of Ellora and Ajanta and yet Kailasa is lesser known. Met some other adults who hadn't heard of it. It's a must visit. A full temple complex with a large shivling on first floor.

It's good to see #Mahabalipuram heritage on display today during #ModiXiSummit
Here are some more pics
