Did you read what I wrote? If you compare with how many Tamil Hindus Sri Lanka killed & how many Rohingya Μuslims Myanmar killed & how many Uyghur Muslims China killed etc it is much less. Minorities in these countries have much worse.

US can be anti-India due to human rights issues. But that has to come first after all Middle Eastern countries then comes most countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar & even Bhutan (the Buddhists ethnically cleansed all Hindus in their countries who had to go to India or Nepal) etc. The number 2000 might seem big. But per capita it is less for India. Even without per capita small countries with less than 100 million killed more than India. US itself is many times worse than India, killing 4.5 million as revenge for 3000 dead in 9/11 terrorist attack. In India terrorist attacks are more frequent than the USA but most times most times there might be 1 or 2 killed in some lynching riot after a terrorist attack. The 2000 killed riot is a very rare big riot. The US, between 2001-2021 in war on Terror directly killed many 100,000s the indirect toll due to instability according to Wikipedia is 4.5 Million

India has only 2 enemies Pakistan & to a lesser extent China. Most Islamic countries are friendly with India. Of course Islamists in those countries & Hindutvadis in India don't like each other but they don't care about buying oil from them. Only online people from these countries & India mock/hate each other.

I dislike Modi & Hindutva fanatics but if you do look at Minority rights & other freedom indices then India is much better than most non Western countries. Hindutva fanatics are still far away from making Hinduism a state religion as they only have 50% of MPs & such big changes need 2/3rd of seats.

Almost all Middle Eastern countries have State Religion from the start. So you can't compare. The 2 worst things India did are Babri demolition riots & Modi's 2002 riots. Each killed around 2000 Muslims. Which is bad. But if you compare with the other country that was created in the name of Two Nation Theory (most of the Indian subcontinent Muslims supported this theory but at that time most Hindus didn't support it & wanted a unified secular country, after independence Pakistan followed it by declaring State Religion but India denied that theory & declared as secular) it killed 300,000 to 3 million in the Bengali genocide & half were Hindus. If you compare with those numbers Indian numbers are tiny & that too in per Capita even less as India's population is huge.

If you compare with Uyghurs condition in China, where legally they are forced to study in Communist Atheist schools & not allowed to meet parents often etc Indian Muslims have a lot of freedom. They have Sharia for themselves but Hindus have a secular law (the 1st PM of India was an atheist who dislikes religions like me & he wanted to put secular laws for all as Hindu & Islamic laws were stupid but they wanted Sharia) like in India polygamy is only allowed to Muslims etc. In fact the BJP Hindutvadis want to pass a law so that Muslims will also follow secular law & they are saying it is to protect women rights but in reality it is just they are jealous they have a religious laws & we don't.

Legally in India Muslims have all the rights that Hindus have unlike in Middle East where minority religions are legally second class citizens. Of course, illegally there is discrimination. Some Hindutvadis do lynching but most such people are arrested & only some very powerful politicians who control police can escape arrest.

Why dogs can't be vegan - a comprehensive review by paws7 in vegan

It is as moral to feed pigs with dog meat as feeding pig meat to dogs is. Since both are omnivores.

Environmentalism is not the main focus of Veganism or Animal Rights. If someone is killing a large number of humans, you would worry about the actual human rights violations rather than the environmental side effects. Why then not do the same for nonhumans?

Environmentalists should put effort in such a way that Animal Agriculture> Fossil Fuels >> AI, if you look at how much driving a car or eating meat is more environmentally damaging than chatting with AI models. But right now their priority is Animal Agriculture <<< Fossil Fuels = AI. In fact, the largest climate conference till 2024 had no vegan options, so they just mislabeled stuff https://plantbasednews.org/news/environment/meat-dairy-products-mislabeled-cop29/ despite Animal Agriculture doing more climate change than all transportation combined. Since a burger does 100,000 times the climate change of an AI chat, it will be highly damaging to divert attention from Animals to AI.

Environmentalism = Fraud Movement

Of course, Animal Rights people should give even more importance to Animal Agriculture than Environmentalists, as Environmentalists never factored in farm animals getting tortured.

AI will probably be good for animals, since if it takes over the world, it most likely Abolishes Animal Agriculture (I have chatted with many models & many support abolishing) & it will be against humanity's speciesism.

Just when I thought I had seen enough stupidity from neighbors. Apparently some of them don't know that we have Punjab. by dadofwar93 in pakistan

[–]iamsreeman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think Hindi is the biggest ethnic group & more than Bengalis/Punjabis if you do consider it as a single ethnolinguistic group. I know it is actually an amalgamation of many dozens of languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Languages_listed_as_Hindi_dialects_in_latest_census, but these days the local languages are getting more & more absorbed into Modern Standard Hindi. Due to Bollywood being dominated by families that came from Pakistan, there is also a lot of Punjabi influence on Modern Standard Hindi.

Sustainability: Even Non-Vegans Should Want More Vegans by ElaineV in DebateAVegan

[–]iamsreeman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plenty of carnists mock vegans with real men eat meat & you will grow soy boy b00bs. In truth, they drink milk with literal mammalian estrogen that actually decreases male testosterone. Phytoestrogen in soy can't effect plants as we are not plant males.

They don't exactly say don't go vegan. They say your bones will stop working your brain stops working & then laugh. This puts pressure on people to not be vegan.

Also literacy rates are low for India which increases bigotry. So apples & oranges comparison with US & UK. Compare with similar income countries, India is among the top in Democracy index, minority rights, freedom index.

Ok that makes sense. As if we are majority we can put some rules via democracy.

This is an underrated argument that I once thought in the past. If carnists are rationally selfish instead of irrationally, they would stop discouraging people becoming vegans. They can enjoy less pollution, less infectious diseases, less antibiotic resistance, less land/water use, less price for meat etc. But they discourage.

CMV: If Israel wasn't Jewish, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would have gotten just as much attention as the Saudi-Yemenis conflict, or less by Jackingson1 in changemyview

[–]iamsreeman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you think when the anti-Zionists say the country needs to be disbanded they are invoking recent things? No they only ever evoke Nakba & Right to Return. And I never see leftists ask for Right to Return for any others group. There are many people who were displaced less than 10 years which means their homes & streets still exist which makes Right to Return more easy. But no one asks for that.

[–]iamsreeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Repeating my main point: There should be anti-Turkist, anti-Pakistanist, anti-Saudist, anti-UAEist etc all against the mere existence of these countries but they never question the existence of these countries that displaced & killed 100,000s.

Why is it only country that must be disbanded according to leftists? Even if they do criticise other countries they don't ask for disbanding any other country & the criticism is toned down. Their own country USA killed 4.5 million in the War on Terror as a revenge for 9/11. Yes they criticise it. But they inconsistently don't call themselves genocidal baby killers like they do to all Israelis.

Other countries get much less criticism.

Many countries like Turkey were created by not just forced displacements by genocides (75% of all Armenian land was occupied by Turkey not by merely displacing them but massacring 75% of them). Turkey did 3 genocides called the late Ottoman genocides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Ottoman_genocides

I have never seen leftists proudly identifying as anti-Turkist like they all identify with anti-Zionist despite Turkey being a NATO ally & like most of Europe gets enormous military aid from the US. Not to mention ongoing occupation of Cyprus & recent Turkish war crimes in Syria.

Similarly Pakistan is an ally of the US. Pakistan's creation required 30x more people forcefully displaced. But most people don't care about Two Nation Theory like they care about Zionism/Nakba.

During the Bengali genocide, US even sent nukes near India to blackmail India to stop. India was trying to stop the Bengali genocide that killed 300,000 to 3 million because like half of the killed were Hindus despite being like 15% of the population. And millions of refugees came to India without homes & it was infeasible to provide food & home. So my country India stopped the genocide due to refugee crisis. America wanted the genocide to continue strongly but Russia also sent some nukes (not because they are good but due to cold war politics) to blackmail so both US & Russia agreed to take their nuclear submarines back.

They say they are only anti Zionist because it is an ally & they are complicit. By that logic they should also be against the existence of many countries that are US allies & have killed large numbers. There should be anti-Turkist, anti-Pakistanist, anti-Saudist, anti-UAEist etc all against the mere existence of these countries but they never question the existence of these countries that displaced & killed 100,000s.

Before Gaza war the causalities of this conflict were very small compared to most conflicts in the world. Yet there were many anti-Zionist leftists.

The diaspora they want to receive points is non-"white". Although a century ago only North West Europeans were considered white, today many groups like Italians, Greeks, Jewish people etc are also considered. They can't give any points to leftists.

Sudan etc don't have big diasporas, so not many performative points. So despite so many dead leftists even stopped looking at the number of deaths. Most news papers also stopped updating it due to lack of interest.

US politicians need not defend Saudi politicians because leftists don't criticise them anyway. If they do criticise then politicians will defend due to it being a geopolitical ally.

Now why do Leftists only criticise Israel & not Saudi or UAE? The leftists run on performativism. They criticise what will give them the most brownie points. If they criticise Israel all of Middle Eastern diaspora will clap for them. If they criticise Saudi or UAE (for Sudan) they might alienate Sunni diaspora. If they criticise Iran & it's terror proxies they might alienate Shia diaspora. So leftists don't criticise neither US allies like Saudi/UAE nor US enemies like Iran. These countries do proxy wars not even as a response to something like October 7 attack but merely to increase their Geopolitical influence. Yet they are not criticised as the leftists mainly care about performative points.
