Ewww. No. Just. No.

Yeah. Took me a day.

You can't talk about climate change without addressing climate justice first.

I'm talking about India as a whole. We are a country, aren't we? As long as we are one country, metrics are computed per country. If Bihar and Telengana were to secede and become 2 countries, then your argument would be valid (for which you have provided no quantitative sources btw).

Anyway, here are my sources;

1) https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/india-s-2025-national-health-survey-update-higher-access-persistent-financial-risk

2) https://laex.in/prelims-fact-sheet/comprehensive-modular-survey-education-cms-e-2025/

My point remains: Indians don't have access to public healthcare or education en masse. Claiming "oh I have access" doesn't change the fact that not everyone has access. Which is the point I'm making. :)

That is a certainly interesting take. One that I won't disagree with.

I'm guessing I got downvotes coz people got butthurt that marriage doesn't have a purpose?

If you can afford to be a judgemental cunt, you can afford a therapist too, it seems.

I'm a misandrist because? Do tell, I'm kinda stupid. Please mansplain to me a bit. :)

Since that triggered you so much, I changed it. But my question remains ;)

You got downvoted because it's a very bitter pill to swallow. That you (in this case India) are the oppressor to.

I said the same to my parents. And they just refused to understand. Not like AFSPA did anything for this to happen.

You're right.

These are your words:

What do you think US should've done ? Taken it on its chin and let go ?

So you agree then that, it's "okay" for a country to retaliate when they have been wronged, right?

So, half the erstwhile british Empire, south America, parts of Africa all have a right to get back their dues because they have been oppressed by the Global North? The Houthi rebels now have a rightful claim to attacking because the US has been fucking them up since they were kids? And that Iran, Venezuela and Cuba absolutely have the right to attack the US because they were attacked first?

Your argument cannot be "they commited genocide, so I will to". Both the US and Israel are genocidal maniacs, so not wanting to be like them seems logical. Unless of course, you want to be a genocidal maniac.

Is this sub just that? A bunch of lying spineless fucks?

This! 100% this!

Dude joining.

Well. It's internalized. As you so eloquently put it. And I'm really sorry about that. But only you can get yourself to stop thinking this way.

Swallow ?

grow the fuck up.

That cannot be your response to colonization. You're an insensitive twat.

Then you talk about it outside of sex. Really not that hard to have that conversation.

"Hey, you can go down on me if you'd like or if that's something you're into".

Again, really not that hard to have this conversation.

I have no fault of what my ancestors did,

I'm not saying you do.

But pretending that colonization has no long-lasting effects is just ignorance.

You're just looking at the blame game. I'm saying "I don't care about who's blaming whom, long-term consequences exist". Period.

Your grandfather came into my house and took everything inside it and forced me to learn your culture.

And now, the same is happening to you. Doesn't mean it's "okay". It just means "it's happening".

I learnt about your grandfather in history and my takeaway was "it's okay". Just as it should be yours now.

I never once said "it gives me the right to do the same". That's your inference.

Most colonizers hate this argument because it becomes "you're not allowed to bring up my ancestors' past and point out the same issue has now returned home because 'i didn't do it' ".

I don't understand why you got downvoted. What China is doing is exactly what india is doing, which is: "fuck you international law, leave me alone".
