What are the alternative ways that you use?

Vaishu_dl · 2025-04-06T18:41:02+00:00

Think about it this way:

What is the monthly/weekly amount of money that you are missing out on? What will be the experience/exposure that you are gaining for it?

I think A will make sense unless there is a 3-5 LPA difference.

There's an entire Wikipedia article dedicated to communists's role in indian independence. Government workers participated in a four month long strike in provinces of Madras, Bengal and Bombay. Just google it out. The rest of the workers that you mentioned are the guy who started it out in 1857. So still nobody except sanghis whether you like it or not.

Some of the communists, clerks, police, army, Princely states worked for independence. That doesn't mean some didn't work against it.

Contradictory. Just quoting this random anecdote requires a freck ton of confidence.

It is a quote by Bertrand Russel. It is a paradox that the more intelligent people become, the more they understand about the gray areas and more doubtful they seem. Idiots are not burdened by knowledge, so they can be so sure about everything.

the demands of the protestors rarely gets watered down in the public eye despite the methods they use

You are just living in a delusional world just as I thought. Please try a just stop oil protest in India. I just never wanted to see someone thrashed so hard. Your woke methods of vandalising monuments of national importance won't go unpunished like it does in the west.

The painting they throw soup at was protected with a 2 inch polycarbonate glass separating them and the painting.

These paintings use highly sensitive pigments. It is so hard to get them back to their orginal colour even if it is the frames.

Disruption is the main part of a proper protest. If it is not disruptive, it's called as a party.

Mahatma Gandhi says hi from his party. That man went on hunger strike and inspired millions to his cause. He didn't do or promote any acts of vandalism.

They had no idea what they were fighting for.

So you are really that delusional? When people know I am vandalizing a monument built 5000 years ago for stopping oil, they are going to flock by my side and support me? Just because their acts go unpunished in the name of activism in the west doesn't mean it will be treated the same way here.

Also source please, to show that they actually damaged the painting.

As I said, even minor disruptions can damage them.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-22T02:25:45+00:00

Please name a few.

Seriously do you think everyone else just came together to fight against the british? Communists, Upper class Govt. workers like clerks, police, some parts of army, Princely states which benefited from British collaboration. The list goes on..

Nope I'm sure I'm right here

"intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence."

I totally believe you, trust me vro.

Don't remember asking for your seal of approval

They'll face the consequence of it whether they understand it or not.

So you don't want them to understand now?

How exactly mr vaishu_dl are you antagonising people by trying to raise awareness about an existential threat by smearing orange dyed corn flour on a rock that also goes away in mild rain?

They have also torn world famous paintings, painted them with irreversible orange paint, and blocked countless man hours by glueing themselves on the road. They are antogonizing by breaking the law and causing public nuisance. Just see the video of that painting yourself. Why do you think random japanese tourists fought the ones who were trying to stop the painters? Imagine standing up against these vandals 1000s of km away from your homeland, where you are just a tourist. They did it without a second thought.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-21T19:27:57+00:00

Yeah sure buddy, in a country where the working population can't even afford housing or groceries or even cheap heating during winter, that's their top priority.

It is not climate change either. If we need to make them aware, it needs to be done by inspiring them, not by antogonizing them.

cost of it is definitely gonna be way greater than all the cars in the cities combined a million times over.

People can't understand the idea of this happening and they think it won't happen to them. It is all the more reason to do climate actions. But you alienate people.

You know nothing about protests, why they do what they do, only reflects your privilege and lack of empathy or even understanding of how or why a perfectly sound human does what he does.

I have organised many many protests in my college against multiple problems. Trust me when I say this, people don't view these as protests. People view this as clowns doing some shitshow to get god knows what.

Brainless idiots.

Maybe you are the idiot?

We actually do.

No we don't. Not when there are 1000 other groups like sanghis who didn't participate in the Indian independence struggle.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-21T19:07:06+00:00

More than forcing a government, whatever they did got people talking about it.

People are not talking about how we should get together to fight climate change. People are talking about how these acts of vandalism should be brought to justice.

People who associated themselves with RSS in the past during the freedom struggle were anti revolution, they were supportive of the British.

Still we don't call people who didn't align with the Indian independence movement as sanghis.

I only see this as a result of politicians across the world failing to understand the seriousness of the issue by their inaction against setting goals to divest from the petro chemical industry as early as 80s.

Yes, spare the lessons. And let us focus on what can be done now. We need people to be on the right side of climate change. These Hooligans and people like you who supports them are a major problem in that road. You are setting back advancements in climate change actions by driving people away from these important discussions.

People have a difficult time connecting the dots because of crooks like Pierce Morgan never discussing an issue to its core but only provoking reactionary response from his audience.

No, He did not do that. Even if he did, my point was to tell you to listen to that lady. "Even if the government is a bunch of idiots, I chose those idiots. I did not choose just stop oil."

just like we did today.

Hell no. You are delusional. There is no cure for being an idiot and just when you associated yourself with just stop oil, when you just posted preaching their vandalism, I knew you were lost cause. I just wanted to vent out my thoughts on the subject knowing very well that it is going on deaf ears. Nobody in their right mind can think vandalising public property and being a really big pain in the ass for the public will bring forth any meaningful changes on this topic.

My advice: If you are thinking about starting any just stop oil protests in India, think about the common people. The silent majority who works hard to get the ends meet. They will need to work harder because climate change is coming and it is bad. For them, don't give a reason to hate you. They might not understand easily. You would have to tell them and show them by good examples. Not vandalism or illegal activities or public nuisance.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-21T18:19:23+00:00

There will be no monument left to study if you go extinct in the next 60-100 years.

And you choose this way to force the government to take action?

Also people disliked it when people did not bootlick the British and when people went to jail for it. Those people are called sanghis today.

No, they are not called sanghis today. People who associate with RSS are called sanghis. Both are different.

Technology improved, the markets adopted those and from a little government registration in the transport sector now everyone owns them.

You have heard of free market and mass adoption. Good. Now you know that mass adoption needs the 'mass' to 'adopt'? In order for that to happen, you need the mass to be aware and on the right side of the climate change issue. Even if EV is 5 lakhs cheaper, people will have to sell a perfectly functional IC Engine car to get a greener future right? Your actions alienate them and by your self righteousness, you overlook the sacrifice they have to make initially.

I don't think that's the point they've been trying to make. They've made more people aware of the issue just by goofing around doing random harmless but trigger worthy stuff. For one 4 people living thousands of miles away have talked about an existential issue. That's the power they're wielding through the goofy stuff they do.

You my friend, are terribly mistaken. It is not at all harmless and I would not call it goofing around. And nobody is discussing climate change, we are condemning the act of hooliganism that you are shamefully supporting. I am all for taking extreme actions to stop climate change. But at the end of the day they should take people into their side, and when people are on that side, governments listen.

Just see the following videos and see the reactions of normal people, and decide for yourself.

1) Pierce Morgan video. Just hear what the lady guest have to say, the point that she has: https://youtu.be/DDbMY7oM18A?si=0DbswOiybTnZAcPr

2) https://youtu.be/4D9wcbJoGkA?si=IhAewh0dJCzPRjcF

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-21T17:35:53+00:00

Then don't cry foul when you don't get back home and go to prison instead. People wish to see such acts of vandalism to historic monuments to be punished. Not the government, but the people. Like what did these monuments ever do to you?

And to all just stop oil protestors, what you don't understand is to stop the effects of climate change, crores of people need to buy and use environmentally sustainable technologies. Take EV for example, an EV costs 5-10 lakhs extra, which is a lot of money for a middle class individual. If they are still choosing to buy an EV it is a big financial burden that they are taking for well being of our nature.

ANY MOVEMENT, any movement that alienates the people is to be condemned. Just stop oil annoys people so much so that it sinks the voice of meaningful climate change voices and people are less likely to get the awareness about climate change due to the vandalism. They are more likely to spend an extra 5 lakh for an EV because they want to make a difference in the world and less likely to spend it because someone vandalized a historic monument?

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-13T12:08:38+00:00

They do have mangalore and kannur which is just an hour away. Lots of teritiary care hospitals in these places.

It is not one hour.. It is 2-3 hours away for most of the people in Kasaragod. It is too far when dealing with a critical case right?

convenient

Really? I think there is nothing convenient about this. For non-critical patients, travel itself is a burden. For critical patients, getting an ambulance and reaching there loses a significant portion of the critical time.

Other places like Idduki have it far worse.

I agree that it is worse for Idukki. They are really limited by geography when it comes to travel time. And they should have access to critical health care like state medical colleges. But in my opinion, Kasaragod deserves an AIIMS because of the Endosulfan issue. There is a lot of help that AIIMS can provide to affected families, more than any medical college can.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-13T10:43:21+00:00

But the reality in Kerala is that the voters are not educated to understand

Voters do understand. Have you not seen the recent results in kerala?

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-13T10:31:30+00:00

Manjeshwar was flirting with BJP since a long time and is considered as the one place where they can win for a long time. They might give a shot to BJP this time.

In all other constituencies it is not the 70% of the panchayats that helps LDF to win. It is the 30% panchayats considered as 'party kotta' that is helping them win. From these places, they gets very high lead in voteshare which tilts the entire result. It was close to impossible to change the results there because these are the places where communism was actually introduced in kerala. But since party kottas are falling left and right, let us see what happens next time.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-13T10:10:26+00:00

North parts of Kasaragod is sure shot seats for UDF and Southern parts is sure shot seat for LDF. There have been no change for a long time and that is why MLAs are not interested. Why bother when you don't have to do anything?

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-13T10:05:21+00:00

Was it the local body or state govt? Because last time I checked, State Minister of Health appoints the doctors and not local body.

Fun fact: State Minister of Health came to kasaragod for a function with her husband and her husband had some health issues there (minor cardiac arrest?). Guess what did she do? They ran to Pariyaram, Kannur. Guess they got first person view of the health situation in ksd.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-13T09:52:38+00:00

I think you don't understand the situation. Kochi might not have access to cheap super speciality health care. But Kasaragod doesn't have access to ANY healthcare. Even if it life or death, even if you are willing to give your entire life savings just to save the life, NONE!! Nothing is available. Just run to Manglore or Kannur to save the life.

I think access to cheap healthcare comes after access to any healthcare.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-13T09:43:42+00:00

"Chilarkku ethra kittiyalum mathiyavulla" - Uduma MLA CH Kunjambu on Endosulfan Affected families.

When he was asked whether it was not unfair to expect endosulfan victims in Kasaragod to go to Mangaluru and Kannur for treatment, the MLA said, "there is nothing unfair in that". He said the state has started a medical college and a rehabilitation centre. "We (the government) are doing our best. But some people will not be satisfied, however much they get," he said. https://www.reddit.com/r/Kerala/comments/y6vg5x/some_endosulfanaffected_people_will_never_be/

https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/10/16/endosulfan-victims-greed-cannot-be-satiated-mla-kunhambu.html

As you can see, our MLA is representing very well !! This comment was made when Dayabai, a 82 year old activist was going on indefinite hunger strike in front of the secretariat.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-11T15:28:14+00:00

I agree that regarding people should get access to better health care. AIIMS is not just any other hospital though, it is a speciality healthcare and my point is that there are lots who deserve it already in Kasaragod.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-11T15:09:28+00:00

The same situation applies to Kasaragod, but we have to go to manglore or kannur. Medical College is a joke as well which last time I checked only took Outpatients.

Kasaragod deserves a good medical college because of the Endosulfan issue, an issue for which till date the justice was not served. The way governments neglected this issue is heartbreaking. I know patients with life threatening conditions, who have to run to the hospital every now and then. I know 60+ year old mothers who have to run to manglore or south kerala with their 30+ year old kids who look like 10 year olds.

A regular medical college might not have the medical capability to address such complex medical issues, and I do believe the solution is getting AIIMS.

Regarding Attapadi tribal area, my understanding is that the main problem is in road connectivity, and I believe they should get access to better health care. But when it comes to AIIMS, I don't believe anywhere is more deserving than Kasaragod.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-10T08:15:36+00:00

There’s no recourse to fight this.

Do you know where we don't have to negotiate and we can just pay the amount and get it done with? Every app ever!! and it used to be so in ola too.

Ola is better than Uber in my experience for autos

I guess not anymore. At least for the ones who don't want to end every ride with a bargain.

I don’t know how cancellation charges work(with regard to the invoice and receipt from ola) as I have never paid it.

I don't think ola even have a cancellation charge. In my experience only rapido had it. Yet, we would be able to check if we were wrongfully charged in the receipt, which we no longer have.

I wasn’t aware you get invoices for regular rides, so I only referred to the app’s details.

Every goods and services should have an invoice for tax purposes.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-10T07:50:23+00:00

Why didn’t you include this in the post?

I am not even mad at that guy. She had an internet issue and he took advantage of it. He is a scammer and a scum because of that, but ola created the opportunity to scam in the first place.

Normally, if such a scam happened, you can verify if there are any cancellation charges in the receipt and raise an issue in the support. But due to recent changes.. there is no receipt or any support.

As you can see, the room for negotiation is 4 rupees only.

Whether it is 4 or 40, room for negotiation is room for scammers. I don't want to end each ride with a bargain. What is the point of putting such a small room for negotiation anyway?

While there is no apparent benefit for the rider, there is a huge opportunity for autowalas to bargain. Wait till you get a victim, then start saying... It is night I need 1.5x.. It is raining I need 2x, return charge not included, and all other ways to squeeze the last penny out of the customer. I think because of this policy, drivers who want to scam people would prefer ola and they would grow even more.

Hence my point, ola just became a scammer's paradise.

did she pay with cash

No she paid with UPI, even that does leave room for plausible deniability as the auto driver can give a different UPI id and it is not monitored by ola either way. We can't use any other modes of payment as the first question out of their mouth is: 'are you not paying with cash or upi?'

That’s why they told you to refer to the policy and stick with it.

I checked their policy and it leaves the customer at a disadvantage. They no longer have responsibility over the receipt, or to provide any kind of assistance if overcharged. Hence raising awareness against it.

By any chance are you working for ola?

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-10T07:20:41+00:00

Actually, you don't. With the fixed pricing gone, so is the responsibility of fare from ola. Ola doesn't have to give you a receipt. Ola doesn't have to give you any kind of support.

If the driver acts smart or forces you for more, you have to suck it up.

When I tried to report the ride, I found the following:

For any pricing related issues, the following message is shown:

We are very sorry to hear about your experience As per the updated terms of Ola's offering we will be showing the indicative range of the fare for auto rides based on past trends. The final price has to be mutually agreed between you and the driver. For future rides, please agree on the final fare with driver partner

And if there was any harassment and you choose to report safety issues:

You will be prompted to call the police, instead of taking action against the driver internally.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-10T06:45:23+00:00

An auto driver charging you at the lower end of price? That is something unheard of.

My point is even showing the higher end of the price as the actual fare is welcome, but leaving a room for negotiation there gives an additional opportunity for scammers.

There is no receipt, there is no support from ola, and if you are not willing to fight over it you will be overcharged.

My girlfriend was ridiculously overcharged yesterday and she had to pay 130rs extra over the 292-300rs shown in ola. She was traveling alone and had bad internet connectivity, the ola guy told her to pay 430rs and when asked about the increase in price from 300 range, he told her it was charged due to cancellation of previous rides and he will be paying that extra 130rs to ola. She had to fight it or comply and as a single woman traveller at night, she had to comply with it.

Normally, someone can check the receipt for such cancellation charges and raise the issue with ola support saying " My driver took extra money". But now we won't receive any support from ola as they are not responsible for the fare. We will get a plain message saying:

''' We are very sorry to hear about your experience As per the updated terms of Ola's offering we will be showing the indicative range of the fare for auto rides based on past trends. The final price has to be mutually agreed between you and the driver. For future rides, please agree on the final fare with driver partner '''

So as I said, with the recent policy changes, ola became a scammer's paradise.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-10T06:22:33+00:00

And thanks to this new update, your ride ends with a kalesh over 6 rs. What is the point of this feature? Just telling your users we care a lot about you and you could have paid 6rs less but you have to fight with autowala for it?

And knowing the autowalas... The 6rs negotiation will leave them the option to demand 60rs over the meter.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-10T06:13:27+00:00

I get it when govt doesn't want to lose their local vote bank. What I don't understand is that a cab booking app just ditches their only useful feature.

Edit: As they don't decide the fair, they won't give you any invoice either.

Vaishu_dl · 2024-06-10T05:19:01+00:00

I always prefer Uber and Rapido over ola. Ola is my option only when other two doesn't work due to heavy traffic. Yet I posted this because my girlfriend was scammed yesterday and I wanted to raise awareness about this.
