1/n Wokism encourages a dangerous trend of anarchy that leads to breakdown of law and order.
I had written an earlier thread about Xian convents banning girl students from wearing bindi and flowers in hair. People may not like it and it is unfair but no one went on agitations
2/n In my college in the 80s saree was compulsory and we didn't like it. No one went on agitations and involve political parties. Yes, legally other clothing was permitted in India but no one went on an agitation over uniform.
Uniforms/dress codes are a rule that we may not like
3/n But that is no reason to bring cities and nation to a standstill and involve political parties and spawn hashtags.
If you don't like uniform, talk to the college authorities. Or go to a religious institution to study. This study period is temporary anyway so get on with it.
4/n Within reason, respect for authority is important for society to function properly.
Military needs extreme respect for authority coz life and death depends on it. Family, school/college, companies and nations - we need to generally respect authority.
5/n Else will lead to breakdown in law and order which protect us all.
This theatrics about burqa not being consistent with college uniform and political parties jumping into the fray is totally unnecessary.
6/n Calls in the US to "defund police" have put many cities at risk.
Anarchy cannot be good. Protest but protest for things that matter. Else its just too many bobbleheads that are empty heads. No work gets done.
7/n I'm no fan of Chinese govt or any dictatorship but China will soon surpass US in fields like AI. Because respect for authority makes ppl focused on things that matter.
Small matters that used to be resolved locally are now sensationalized and spawn hashtags.
8/n What next? Family quarrels becoming viral videos? Becoming international news?
Think before amplifying or encouraging anarchists. They are not worth the time and will bring down societies and nations.
9/n This whole burqa stuff is likely amplified by Muslim political organizations with the backing of Congress to make the nation look bad.
This is pure political divisiveness.
10/n End result - people will suffer, colleges and nation suffer. Stop pandering to anarchists and extremists.

1/n #Hinduphobia in Telugu film industry has gone to the extent of producing well-made blockbusters with A list actors mouthing Hinduphobic lines.
I am talking about the moving 'Shyam Singha Roy' starring Nani and Sai Pallavi, both excellent actors.
2/n The film is well made with a grippingly told story. Yet, the Hinduphobia and the Brahmin hatred comes through, and the director's mind-colonized mentality is very visible in the way he has portrayed the 'reformist' hero (Christian word, refer to @jsaideepak's book)
3/n Main story is set in the 1960s. There is a scene where dalits are denied access to a well as they are deemed unclean.
While untouchability as a practice existed in India the villains are Brahmin men with janeau, and the 'reformist' hero says "This is not your Rig Veda time'
1/n With a likely new administration in January, I sure hope that the US does not start anymore wars in the Middle East, Venezuela or elsewhere.
Past wars were waged under some 'moral' pretext or other on oil-rich Middle East countries. Ended in disaster everywhere.
2/ GWB took out Saddam and it created the ISIS monster. Obama armed ISIS to take on Assad whose regime the US wanted to change. They cooked up some story about Assad gassing his people.
Tulsi who found and reported the truth of people's support for Assad was smeared.
3/ WikiLeaks vindicated Tulsi's stand.
Wars in the middle east create refugees from these theocratic states. The refugees who are used to theocratic laws pour into secular nations. They don't want to assimilate, and want their theocratic "God-ordained laws".
2/ It is a whole different mindset. Where Yazidi rapes and killings are not protested, where minorities are killed and abused and treated inhumanely, and no protests for that.
Where 'intellectuals' speak in support of beheading a teacher. And worldwide protests for a cartoon.
3/ This mindset is incompatible with free societies, where religious and gender freedoms are practiced, and freedom is enshrined.
Free societies should NOT allow adherents of this intolerant ideology to infiltrate. Education does not reform this mindset. Nor does wealth.
1/ I have a theory why leftists and Islamists are together. Leftists' "solidarity" with working classes can draw large crowds. Islamists have petrodollars. So Islamists routinely cry that they are 'oppressed'. Leftists pledge solidarity, Islamists money runs their campaigns
2/ Islamists end goal is to make the world a caliphate. To do that they need to enter as many open societies as possibly, using diversity, multiculturalism and shutting down any debate with the fake word 'Islamophobia'. Then they form enclaves, elect reps, and get into politics
3/ Leftists want campaign money, know that Islamists hate pagan faiths like Hinduism, so leftists indulge in Hinduphobia and call Hinduism 'oppression' while ignoring thetreatment of women and minorities by Islamic states. Islamists use leftists to gain political power gradually.
