BTW brace for a lot of Dhume crowd to thinkpieces about how they are also not modi fans and they support protests and Brutus is an honorable man but those farm bills were actually a lovely libertarian thing that has sadly fallen victim to Greta and Rihanna's wokeness.
That public talks about farming policy with such inexplicable confidence as if they have a phawda on one shoulder and a yoked bull in the other hand as they head to the farm. Bro, you're like some random techie or MBA. Sit down. Let the adults talk.
This was one of those low points of @WSJ's editorial standards. Dhume churned out a column monetizing involuntary mansplaining. All Rihanna asked was why aren't we talking about internet shutdowns during farmers protests. But the compulsive corporatist went all Ayn Rand on her 😂 
Dhume started this trend of middle aged Desi men passionately talking agriculture policy in the general direction of Rihanna. Which would have made you think Rihanna is like deeply involved in the farmers protest and about to show up in Delhi.
She just tweeted 6 words. 🙄🙄

It remains, in my mind, the most ridiculous collective tantrum in the history of social media. These are the objective facts.
Rihanna tweeted "why aren't we talking about this?" with a story about internet shutdowns in Delhi. Not exactly an ideological post. An empathetic one.

What resulted was the ruling elites and media and influencers of a nation of 1.4 billion going absolutely batcrap loco in calling out our RiRi. They even roped in Tendulkar, remember? Every uncle you knew was like "Rihanna, don't lecture us about farm policy".
She wasn't 🤣🤣

Dhume got a random WSJ piece out of it. Pretending like RiRi was sitting there debating farm policy and suchlike with him. 😂😂😂
He had to of course also attack Greta & Meena in the process. No woman left unmansplained, right?

And the worst part is that it was the same old stale rehashed "American Enterprise Institute" type spiel where brown libertarians are paid to act like their shilling for corporations who indirectly pay them is some sort of a "first principles" stand against the wokes.
As always, Hartosh says it best. It was so bizarre when some previously economically sane people started stanning the farm laws as some "reform" when it was so transparently crony capitalism.
