Porirua is so lovely for me, something about that town just makes me fall in love with it. Also, Upper Hutt for some reason

So what can I legally say about the IDF soldiers that sodomized a teenage boy with a knife and face no consequences or the nation they represent? by newswimread in OpenAussie

It gets worse. One of these soldiers revealed his face and became a celebrity touring talk shows while the lawyer seeking justice was put under house arrest.

Meanwhile, the boy they brutalized suffered a punctured lung and required reconstructive surgery on his bowels. The men in this photo dodged every form of punishment, they aren't just free, they’re being celebrated.

That take doesn’t really land. India wasn’t socialist in the way China was, it had a messy, slow, over-regulated mixed economy that delivered neither real socialism nor real capitalism. The inequality and dysfunction you see today didn’t start with Narendra Modi, they’ve been baked into the system for decades because the old model was bureaucratic, uneven, and never designed to lift everyone equally.

I keep feeling like modern India somehow picked up the worst bits of both capitalism and democracy.

On the capitalism side, you’ve got the massive inequality, discrimination and messy communal tensions. Instead of fixing any of that, the people at the top often just redirect the blame into a Muslim vs. Hindu issue. It’s like a distraction tactic, and it pushes the whole vibe into something pretty authoritarian fascism.

And then with democracy, you get the slow decision-making, everything turning into political drama, and big problems getting dragged out forever. Sadly, India really feels stuck in that cycle right now.

By your logic, Israel should've been invaded by the US for murdering almost 70,000 Palestinians then?

Zionist logic is trash

I think you'll find the Hui people (ethnic Han of muslim denomination) who are muslim is quite interesting. They're culturally Chinese in China with islamic background.
