3 years back our Emperor started his crazy experiments with economy by demonetising 86% of the currency notes!

Rest is history!

It was also an experiment to see how much we are conditioned to mutely surrender when our civil liberties and rights are taken away!

We seen then how India's main stream media and journalists colluded with the regime and sold propaganda to us on a daily basis.

TV shows and columns are saturated with praise songs and fantasies!

We heard how our economy is transformed from black to white, informal to digital!
Those fantasies include chip notes, digital economy, record income tax payees and collection, black money bags floating in rivers and left at waste bins, shell companies were dusted to ground, windfall gains to Government, etc.

We forget all pain and reveled in delusion 🤣

As long as ECI is not ready for a transparent audit, irrespective of the results, EVM controversy will continue!
36 Stratagems is a collection of warfare wisdom that was derived over many centuries of inter-state conflict within China.

The 11th stratagem is "Sacrifice a Plum Tree to Save a Peach Tree"

Alternatively "Give up a Pawn to Save a Chariot"
In war, losses are inevitable. In some sense, losses are chosen and smaller losses are preferable to larger ones. This can be done with a strategic intent, where letting enemy win a small battle may make them careless, for example where they chase a fleeing force into an ambush.

The charge-sheet, which was filed by CBI before a special court and will take up the case on Monday, alleges the Chidambarams received Rs 9.96 lakh as bribes in 2008!

9.96 lakhs 🤣🤣🤣 what a farcical charge by the CBI!

First class jokers 🤣

ndtv.com/india-news/inx…
This is like that Vinod Rai joke.

Even a bribe accepting clerk will laugh at this charge but this is used to fool and satisfy the self righteousness of the greedy middle class!

Putting a former Finance Minister in jail for more than 45 days for this flimsy accusation!
More depressing fact that our courts became an accomplice in this vindictive game by the regime.

Using the loose ends of the law to deny bail and keep one in jail for the perverted pleasure of the duo!

Process itself is used as the severe punishment, our rights can go to hell!

Et tu sais quoi #Twitter, je me suis motivé et aujourd'hui on parle bouquin.
Voici quelques conseils de lecture pour cet été quand tu te feras chier car tu n'as pas les thunes pour aller à la plage.
⬇️⬇️⬇️
"L'Anarchisme" de Daniel Guérin.

C'est un peu la base pour celles et ceux qui seraient intéressé.e.s par l'anarchisme. Il explique simplement les principes élémentaire et fait appel à l'histoire du mouvement libertaire. C'est une bonne porte d'entrée.
"L'Ordre Moins Le Pouvoir" de Normand Baillargeon.

Ça ressemble un peu à "Que sais-je" dans le sens où c'est court et offre une explication générale. Il expose différents courants de l'anarchisme, des primitivistes aux ancap'.

Unlike other social media, #Twitter has the habit of shaming new entrants/ supporters of causes by saying - "This has been discussed here for years." So what? The insider groups formed here as just as bad as those found IRL. Perhaps worse, for they aren't immediately visible.
Whenever I see cases of online shaming in the name of causes, I worry for the recipient's mental health. Insider groups of all kinds indulge in online shaming. I haven't seen a single group that doesn't do this, so would love to know of Twitter handles that don't indulge in this.
The democratic set-up of #Twitter is among its best aspects, so a late (perhaps younger) entrant is as entitled to learn here as the older, established tweeters.

1/ Amid Twitter maybe getting rid of the "like" to promote "better dialog" and certainly giving safe haven to nazis and other extremists, a rant:
2/ You probably noticed how, people came forward to say that they'd reported the bomber for violent threats, and Twitter (as always) did nothing and (as always) now apologizes but (as always) won't say how they'll better handle. They won't, and I'll tell you one big reason why.
3/ to address complaints about threats and "improve the dialog" Twitter introduced the "quality filter." You see fewer threats and hate speech. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S LESS OF IT.

Here tonight supporting the push to stop Philadelphia's collaboration with ICE.

Glad to see so many enthusiastic and devoted humans.
What I am watching is the process of white leftists volunteering to put their bodies and privilege on the line WHILE allowing POC and immigrant groups to lead.

This is how the activism should work.
I am watching a movement grow, refine itself, trip, fall and get back up stronger and with renewed resolve.

I am watching a movement devote itself to making space for the marginalized and striving to not center dominant voices

What is happening here is powerful and growing.

And it is indeed a mere coincidence that I spent the last days looking at alternative social networks that are federated and decentralised, and all based on open source software. The following tweets describe a few of my impressions.
#Mastodon is a very friendly community that is remotely based on the old StatusNet open-source software. Does anyone remember Identica? You choose a server to create an account on, and can follow people from all connected (federated) instances.
You have fine-grained, but very concise control over where each post goes. Each post has a limit of 500 characters, and you can add a content warning, which will be the only thing initially displayed if you do. You can then choose to read the rest or not.
