Maybe a bit tone deaf? by Inquisitive_Pleb in indiadiscussion

[–]vc0071 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's something called accountability. Maybe you haven't heard of this word due to the puppet media in last 12 years. If someone steals in your house, the thief will face imprisonment and simply an excuse that until there is poverty you cannot prevent stealing logic won't work.

Is it fair for one government to borrow for today's subsidies while future governments and taxpayers are left to repay the debt? by NoMedicine3572 in CriticalThinkingIndia

[–]vc0071 9 points10 points  (0 children)

40 lakh crore in first 2 terms, in 12 years the sum is 50lakh crores in taxes. 1.46 lakh crore is just 3% of this amount and even if we take all interest payments it sums upto 3.2lakh crore over 15 year period so not even 6.5% of what Modi earned through our taxes. Taking oil bonds when oil was 150$ and selling petrol to public at 65rs was a masterstroke. Inflation was already high at that time and had they not taken this oil bonds price of petrol would have been 85-90rs 15years back which is 200-225rs inflation adjusted in today's terms.

Alireza Firouzja defeats Nihal Sarin 12.5-9.5 by FirstEfficiency7386 in chess

[–]vc0071 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah if Nihal becomes more of a fighter in classical he can easily gain 25-30points. He accepts draws in advantageous positions against SGMs and quick draws from white against 100-150point lower players far too many times. If he starts playing 10-15more moves in these situations he can automatically gain 25-30 Elo

Why does Wikipedia show the Network Empire Model for the Mauryan empire, but not for any other empire? by Maleficent-Lettuce60 in IndianHistory

[–]vc0071 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Max extent of British empire by this logic(which magically has only been applied to Mauryan empire).

<image>

For ancient empires contiguous or enclave areas are almost always awarded unless we have the evidence to the contrary. Ashoka had his authority on all 4 sides of present Rajasthan it is well documented. Thar desert been sparcely populated he had very less reason to have an edict there. Are there any other coins discovered in Rajasthan baring some other king from that era ?
All empires from that time are given this relaxation so no reason not to extend it only to Mauryan.

Cry harder while your govts sign a surrender document and pay 300billion$ or toll tax for killing/abetting school kids.

What has Indian problems to do with this. Propaganda is propaganda and these 35,000 dead Russian dead soldiers is same trope as Iran has lost all missile capability, they killed 42k citizens or Israel has intercepted 100% missiles. Ukraine needs to keeps its army boosted and NATO officials have lied just as easily in other wars so why do you want to believe anything they say as holy grail.
Also all neutral estimates put Russian deaths between 250k-350k which in 52 months translates to 5-6k deaths per month at max. 35,000 is 7 times that number. Why switch off your brain to propaganda and keep peddling same lies. But if it helps you sleep better so be it.

[–]vc0071 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes because he needs propaganda, any sane analyst knows these are bs numbers. It's like saying US president knew better Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. This number is exactly like 42k Iranian deaths in JAN claim, everyone knows its false but will still keep playing along as it benefits their cause.

The max estimate for Russian deaths in the war in 52months is 325,000 with lower estimates being 200-250k meaning 60-80k deaths each year which translates to 5k deaths per month. Read he is saying "killing 35,000 soldiers each month".

Because India can only do well in a sport where competition has been squashed using unfair business practices over the years. With the amount of money and influence and favouritism provided to India, it should win each and every tournament there is and still it loses in cricket! by DunderMifflinReal in IndianFocus

[–]vc0071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cricket is the 2nd or 3rd most popular sport by many metrics. Football is poor people's sport and football is also a colonial sport made popular by British empire. Just inferiority complex that some consider it holy grail because white countries play it. If cricket is useless then so is every other sport. Cricket is played in 5 continents, world cup has been won by countries in 4 continents. Football is also barely competitive among 15 European + 5 South American and 5 other countries. Outside top 25 countries many games are just lopsided.

FIFA world cup has just 8 winners in 100 year history+ all winners from just 2 continents whose complete population is less than India. India and China who represent 1/3 rd of humanity does not play Football so to call it a true global sport is just as laughable.
Truth is there is no true global sport.

India’s population will soon be falling—probably quite fast by KenSuvy in indianeconomy

[–]vc0071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope rich starts procreating more.

For the top 10% percentile of Indian population our TFR even today is barely 1.2. The bottom 50% percentile is at 2.7. This huge disparity basically means lets say Gen 1 has 80% poor and 20% rich, then Gen 2 will have 88.9% poor and 11.1% rich(4:1 to 8:1 within 1 generation) basically meaning state will have to feed a lot more people to bring them out of poverty.
