Something definitely seems to have snapped. In many of us. This is post the anti-CAA movement. And it got more vocal after the state-sponsored violence in JNU (keep your alternative fake theories to yourself. An ABVP Delhi Gen.Sec is on TV accepting that they brought iron 1/5
2/5 rods and acid (imagine, acid!!!) to the campus for 'self-defense'). Now I see even those who were on the sidelines, on the fence, those who thought themselves as centrists, those who were previously mild-mannered on social media, those who didn't speak politics online, those
3/5 who feared talking politics online because of their jobs, 'status in society' or other such reasons... they are now seen taking a vocal position against the BJP. It's the first time since 2014 that I notice this new trend. Earlier, there was always fear that anything
4/5 negative about BJP or the 'dangerous duo' or Government policies will invite a swarm of trolls. Now, despite that (the trolls continue to try, of course), many have started getting vocal. And this time it is not mild-mannered disagreements I see. This time I sense anger.
5/5 This anger was drowned in decency, civility and diplomacy earlier. But... something has snapped.
