Gentle pointer to self-confessed liberals who rightly rail against nationalism etc.
Be aware of the strong regio-chauvinism you often display on twitter. I find that quite prevalent wrt TN,Kerala,WB,Guj. Not just lightly-worn pride, but prejudice and regio/linguistic chauvinism.
From a psychological personality traits perspective, it points to a relatively higher N, and lower O, C and A.
The A here would be deceptive in the sense of high superficial agreeableness which reduces drastically during disagreement [that leads to high N]. #OCEAN #Psychometric
A lot of these handles also take a stance against prejudice/discrimination.
Of race,nationality,religion,color,gender. Yet many of the same handles display prejudice : most often regio-chauvinism as well as gender-chauvinism.
I call it the hypocrisy & tyranny of the "liberals"
If one steps back and looks at this objectively,one begins to understands this to be an important element that fuels fascists and bigots. They see this largely LW hypocrisy, and promptly raise the bar. Then u scream whataboutery & victimhood. They rejoice & push the dagger deeper
It is classic.
The status quo, an existing condition. Uneasy balance.
Then the challenge to the status quo [with many elements of what made the existing condition unbearable built into the revolution]. The superciliousness.
And then the reaction, violent and unaccommodating.

If there was twitter during the times of Hitler,Mussolini, Franco,Stalin, Mao & that entire evil lot, there would be moral imbeciles who would be using the Free Speech argmt against de-platforming.
Ontological and epistemological decay leads to confusion in feeble minds.
A thing is what the thing is, and not what it is not.
Trump is pure EVIL, a dysfunctional criminal - forget using the free speech argmnt against him being de-platformed, I opine that he should be thrown in a correctional institution.
Free Speech is not even an issue here.
I see Libertarian handles coming in support of the Free Speech argmnt wrt objection to Trump being booted out of twitter. Just goes to show how those who follow an ideology,ANY IDEOLOGY blindly,risk neuronal decay [plaques & tau tangles mainly] & dysfunctional pathways in the PFC
How on earth did a malignant narcissist of unsound mind and the emotional/cognitive/behavioral regulation skills of a rock in a gutter ever become President of US?
America,u have some serious thinking to do about eligibility norms for political office.
When you give a pass to someone with a severe Personality Disorder, especially Cluster B, by calling it harmless/unique quirks/traits, do so at your own peril. Pathologically dysfunctional personalities damage families and societies, [yet can be calibrated by professionals].
The general non-acceptance of severe personality dysfunctionality as a mental health condition is one of the biggest example of scientific pussyfooting. The resistance to this mainly came from the left [yes the same "don't judge, no right or wrong, no good no bad" crowd].
All the more reason to buy the book. Truth often invites scorn from those whose truth is being revealed. Old tactic. So while they busy themselves with distorting the ratings, hit them where it hurts most - buy the book and see what it says 😈😇

He has the link on his twitter bio! 😈 @milindshah2006 refer tweet exchange a while ago - got one for you.
btw, #LinkedIn which turned into a platform for pompous self-glorification already, has also been infested by this rabid lot past year or so.
Best part is that this true blue sanghi, with songs of civilizational greatness on his lips is employed in an outfit that caters to the needs of those seeking to immigrate out of Bharat [cunedaa!]😈 linkedin.com/company/a-v-im…

"For many of my generation, our long-cherished hope for a better, greater India is all but gone. We wanted to trade some of our democratic chaos for a little bit more growth. We ended up with less of both."
"....Modi has managed to shift the Overton window, supplanting material prosperity — which no party has delivered since the ’90s — with chest-thumping nationalism and an atavistic yearning for a pre-Islamic past."
