It’s been a good 24 hrs (the market crashed and my relatives lost money but that’s what they get for betting on a fascist. I’ve been happily dancing and drinking from thousands of miles away.)

Me too! Some worrying things in the results but that’s for later. The overwhelming feeling is just relief at the moment. Democracy in India is not dead, which I’m so so glad to have been wrong about.

And it was the classes/castes/religions who were oppressed the most who kicked BJP out of its majority in its supposed strongholds.

Absolutely agree with you. Seeing the rightward lurch in India using the same racist rhetoric as Trump was really concerning. Fuck all nation states that use religion as an excuse to oppress people. Looking at you India, Israel, Saudi Arabia, USA… Theocratic states are stupid

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
