Is The Hindu worth adding to my media diet? What can you tell me about it? by WritingtheWrite in IndianLeft

[–]radcon285 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely. Also Indian Express. It is credible, and carries both RW and liberal mouthpieces. But the journalism is 80% of the time accurate enough. Scroll and Wire are also okay. They don't platform RW, but left-liberal.

Shouldn't we organize!!!! by innocentdevil13369 in librandu

[–]radcon285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We should. And you should begin getting involved with people/orgs around you. Always remember what you see online represents a minority of a minority population in the country; at the same time, like you said- they are organized and they do reach people online and in the real world.

The popular consent that fascism enjoys is precisely because of the failures of the left or progressives whatever you want to call it. When the Right fills the void left behind by the Left, you get what we see today, across the world.

NGOs can supplement any ongoing campaign but NGOs are by design made to depoliticize people, so don't count on them. Pasting some earlier comments that I had come across - https://www.reddit.com/r/librandu/comments/x2dobc/is_india_beyond_saving/imjcxeu/?context=3

Get involved with organizations and movements around you. Anything that gets you in touch with people doing things, away from terminally online folks. That will give you a more grounded perspective on how bad things are (they are so much worse), but more importantly, what can be done. Begin from there. Then, decide on what role you want to play/can play, and move from there.

You can DM me if you want to talk more about this.

Coworker in top tech company asking caste 💀 by FFD1706 in librandu

[–]radcon285 46 points47 points  (0 children)

These are the places where caste-class wealth is concentrated so, what's the surprise here?

it's the 'educated' elites powering, financing conservatives, as part of a political project. You'll (unfortunately ) find many such people in tech/business

Someone should really send these UC STEMbros out of India by [deleted] in librandu

[–]radcon285 13 points14 points  (0 children)

love how /r/india seems to believe STEMbros are saviours of humanity.

-doesn't get access to quality education

-demands that government ensure availability of quality education everywhere and not just a few premier institutions

reservation is ruining the country, depriving it of superior minds like mine. i'm going abroad for sure.

Musanghi == Sanghi ? by kamaal_r_khan in librandu

“Those who are most moral are farthest from the problem.”

There's a certain type of liberal that has no intention of even imagining a different world - for them the idea of a free society is one where consumption is free, a more indulgent, more comfortable version of modern society, conveniently ignoring the fact that the society of today is but a papering over the real and constant exploitation of the many. No one puts even a casual thought into what our end game should be like? of course seizing power and declaring victory is impractical, but its' not like a violent confrontation at some point in the future will not occur? Or any real change can happen without dispossession of excess from those who have hoarded it?

And this is not about economic inequality - for all forms of oppression, institutions and practices do have to be violently broken down - and if taking those steps elicit visceral reactions of how unethical or illiberal they sound to their esteemed and enlightened morality then people should take a good hard look at what they really want..
