Bhakt meltdowns galore 🤣🤣🤣
Best is all the "hmpf, so all you need to do to repeal laws you don't like is go out on the streets and protest non-violently" as if it's a bad thing. When it's democracy 101. But sanghis don't understand democracy or the idea of a republic where protests are a fundamental right.
"maybe we should also go protest on the streets for repealing laws we don't like" said another butthurt sanghi.
Umm, y'all have like a two thirds majority in the Parliament. And y'all are in the streets everyday already. You use violence. #FarmersProtest didn't.

When you glamorize Singapore and Shanghai for their nice roads and public order, you're selling this idea that driving on the roads is a fundamental right and protesting on the roads is a privilege. But it's the exact opposite! Protests above traffic concerns. Constitution & all.
When someone says "protests and all are fine but why are they creating traffic snarls?" I always respond with "it's a republic. Driving and all is fine but why are they disturbing protestors?"
Repeat after me.
Public non-violent protests are a fundamental right, not a privilege.
Driver's license is a privilege, not a fundamental right.

Driver's license is a privilege, not a fundamental right.
Also, if protests don't cause at least some public inconvenience, then it's not really a protest but a performance or just a get-together.
Last time BLM protestors shut down the Manhattan bridge, a friend was predictably whining about "why are they causing inconvenience to regular people" and I was like, umm, that's how protesting works. Making more people feel inconvenience and forcing them to take the right step.
"Nobody likes being stuck in traffic jams. Do you?"
No, I do not like getting stuck in traffic jams. But these protestors don't like black people being killed by cops.
I think their dislike takes priority over mine.

Some hilarious contortions in bhakt spaces. The repeal is wrong for the country but you have to credit Mudiji for taking this decision in the interests of the country and it is sad that now people will make 56 inch deflated jokes but he is so brave. 🤣🤣🤣

Latest comedy on bhakt space. UP always votes for an "alpha" and by repealing the laws, Modi will no longer be considered an "alpha" so it will actually hurt BJP in UP. 🤣🤣🤣
So much these sanghis project. People vote based on alphaness apparently.

Lol, bhakts use the term "street veto" for democracy as if it's a bad thing.
What #Farmlawsrepealed has also done is the rare instance of bhakts and progressives completely agreeing on one thing - that this will lead to even more street protests against some other laws passed by this government. Except the bhakts say it like a bad thing. 🤭🤭
Hottest take came at the end. By repealing the laws, Modi has chosen realism over idealism. Wow, this is the extent of their "idealism"? Contract farming? Such mercenary mindsets!
BTW these people will definitely pay a lot of lip service to MLK on Facebook or LinkedIn but have they ever read about what he actually did? When he did these marches, it's not like segregationists were serving him mint juleps & applauding.

MLK took inspiration from Gandhi in how he organized and protested and communicated based entirely on nonviolence. And played a pivotal role in the CRA and VRA, something unimaginable in the US until just a few years before. "Street veto" led to the Civil Rights Act!
MLK was assassinated before he turned 40. A man younger than me changed a country. By protesting on the streets.
That's the kind of activism we have seen in the #FarmersProtest over the past year. From a place of principle, not hate. Why fascists can't compute it.

Dr. King has rightly reached such hallowed status in our collective minds that we forget that he was basically just a dude in 30s out on the streets, speaking up for what's right. Back then, he was considered a "troublemaker". Not the halo he has now even in conservative circles.
BTW even though MLK was inspired by Gandhi's methods, his philosophy was way more profound and inclusive than Gandhi's.
