When 26 ultra rich hold as much money as 3.8 billion poorest in the world,

When the few enjoy too much at the expense of the many struggling for basics,

That is exploitation.

Billionaires don't do everything from procuring raw material to finishing the product to managing
operations single handedly. Even a single statement they make is checked by entire marketing & PR teams.

Unlike salaried class they can pick up massive loans on assets as collateral. They get subsidies on power, resources which small businesses don't.

Every massive corporation
is built on the collapse of thousands of small-scale ventures.

They foster corruption in governments in developed as well as third world countries, to make them sell out resources of the people.

Nothing wrong with the rich enjoying excess, but it is when it comes at the cost
of exploiting the many.

The services they sell are privileges that the exploited can't even imagine.

Even their charity gets them tax cuts. They are able to take stock options instead of salaries to exploit tax law loopholes.

The myth of squeaky clean western capitalism is
built on centuries of slavery & rampant exploitation that has been ignored.

The only people worse are the middle class that defend & glorify billionaires, & aspire to become like them as they already justify exploitation in their minds.

So yes by all means #TaxTheRich

Even Modi's autocratic tactics aren't original, he simply takes notes from Erdogan.

For starters, making Twitter & other platforms appoint local officers was implemented in India right after Turkey to control social media.

Another example is how pro-Erdogan corporates in Turkey
took over most media organisations since he first came to power. Ambani & now Adani, among others are doing the same for Modi now.

Courts in Turkey also became bystanders especially after the coup attempt, used as an excuse to silence any criticism if Erdogan, Indian judiciary
may just be worse than Turkey's in that regard.

The BJP won't recognise blunders like demonetisation or haywire GST implementation, which damaged the economy, just as Erdogan won't identify interest rate cuts hitting the Lira, which he based on religion.

Modi supporters have

Yes governments are supposed to end poverty, so people should hold them accountable.

Well, sounds right, but which people?

The ones stuck in a consumerist loop getting overworked just to pay bills, taxes & for universal rights like education & healthcare?

Those who are either
spending hours rushing to work, or trapped in endless work hours under the illusion of flexible work hours as they work from home?

Those who are burning out & aren't able to fill that void in the absence of a personal life & fulfillment by buying things they don't need only to
end up working extra hours to pay for all that, & ending up even more dissatisfied?

Those who are rationing everything from hanging out with friends, family time & recreation, hence failing to find fulfilment in them because they are stuck in a race where they work for a better

India isn't Rwanda, what's going on here is a lot more vile, calculated & executed over decades.

The Sangh aren't Nazis, they come from the much more insidious ideology of Brahminism that has cunningly plagued Indian society for millennia.

The oversimplified comparisons are
simply an attempt to downplay the real extent of evil that the Sangh has grown into.

Which is why upper caste liberals are hailing a bigoted Twitter Khalifa for pointing that out.

So that they can hide the revolting nature of Brahminism which has engineered genocides based on
caste, & those directed against Adivasis, for centuries before moving against minorities.

For them the comparison of BJP to Rwanda's genocidal regime, is a way to hide the extent to which casteist violence is normalised in Indian society.

Watch out for that Khalifa & his cheer

Just because NATO didn't start a new conflict for a while, the world seems to have forgotten their depravity & how low neoliberalism can fall.

They're diverting funds of starving Afghan people, not Taliban, to 9/11 victims after throwing them to religious extremists.

The global
community will stay silent on Taliban's atrocities & apathy towards suffering people, but will never recognise their government, be it China, Russia or US.

Because a legitimate regime will be accountable for mining contracts & other resources, that means government books will
have to show a fair value for lithium which everyone wants since EVs, phones, data centres, solar power all need tiny & massive batteries.

But the thing about greed is that it unites big players in a sphere that implodes when each wants a bigger piece. Hence the probability of

Consolidation of one homogenous religious identity creates ground for consolidation of other religious identity,

where diverse or shared cultural, linguistic, political & professional identities will be erased.

The Sangh doesn't care for Hindu beliefs, it wants its Brahminical
fascist version to be accepted as one Hindu identity across India.

Further segregation, identifying people by religious dress codes, is their dream.

Because the less people know about those on the other side of the wall, the more easily they are scared of that other.

Within
these walls upper caste, privileged few will be left to call the shots, impose diktats as they please on respective communities.

That is probably why Savarkar was also an advocate of a two nation theory, so that the upper caste elite could hold on to their hegemony.

On a global

Exhibit 1: Muslims who condemn terror are deceiving us.

Exhibit 2: Muslims condemn terror as they fear being blamed for those acts or to prove nationalism.

Both ignore that Muslims like anyone else care for human life & feels pain when innocent people suffer

1: Muslims use
names common across communities to deceive or for love jihad.

2: Muslims keep such names (which are nicknames) for fear of persecution.

Both suggest Muslims are always hiding who they are & have no agency to use names that have been used for generations.

1: Muslim men should
be beaten up or lynched if they interact with Hindu women.

2: Muslim men shouldn't interact with Hindu women because that could get them in trouble.

Both ultimately support a rift & isolation of a community because of threats of violence from fanatics.

1: Will troll privileged
