Why Gaza Won’t Cost Biden the Presidency
  • Okay, I don't have a lot of confidence in this, but I assume the average American is actually pro-Israel? At least the swing "independent" voters?

    Like I know young people are pro-Palestine but those people probably wouldn't vote for Trump in any case and probably live in strongly blue states?

  • India moves to implement controversial citizenship bill that excludes Muslims
  • I don't know what you are even arguing. My point is India is democratic and secular despite being flawed. Do you not agree with that? If you don't agree with that, why are you worried about the word "secular" being removed? How does it matter anyway?

    Your incident counting means nothing - India has 1.4B people. Obviously you can find more cases LMAO.

    My point is India is democratic and secular - and that's an achievement in South Asia (that's why compared to Pakistan). And that has made it more developed. So democracy and secularism are good ideals to fight for.

    If India is not better off than Pakistan and Bangladesh, might as well let BJP make it non secular like them? Why bother fighting it?

  • Boeing whistleblower found dead in US
  • I am wondering this too. I can't imagine why they would be this sloppy. It's also possible that it is one executive who is trying to save himself and maybe throw someone else under the bus.

  • India moves to implement controversial citizenship bill that excludes Muslims
  • no refugees

    Not true - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_India

    fall to the Hindu majority who would nationilze around their identity and oppress everyone else which is exactly what happend

    It's not even close to that. For sure there needs to be big improvements in minority rights but it's not even close to what Pakistan (and Bangladesh) are. India is heavily flawed but still has a functional democracy and secular state while not a single PM in Pakistan has completed a full term. Lol like they are not even comparable. If anything, India is an achievement of secularism and a good example of why you should separate the church and state.

    just gives credit for Pakistan's purpose

    Now that is a circular argument because the nationalists say "look at Pakistan and Bangladesh, Muslims got that, why aren't we getting one?". So creation of Pakistan is what gives credit to their argument.

    For its purpose of avoiding being an oppressed minority, it succeded.

    Did they? Do Pakistani Muslims lead better life than Indian Muslims?

  • India moves to implement controversial citizenship bill that excludes Muslims
  • How exactly?

    They claim that they are doing this to help non-muslim refugees fleeing places like Pakistan. Their claim is that they can't accommodate all refugees so the first preference is for non-muslims being persecuted.

    If Pakistan didn't exist, this persecution wouldn't be there?

  • Ex-Activision CEO Bobby Kotick looks to buy TikTok amid shutdown fears - Dexerto
  • I don't understand why this comment is inevitably under every Tiktok thread. Everyone knows Big Tech spies for the govt especially the lawmakers, precisely why they don't want a hostile foreign govt doing it.

    China knows this too - that's why FB, Google etc are banned there. So what's your point?
