    Meanwhile local corporations and farms actually polluting the water every day.

      Not just that, but corporations are also importing (work visas) cheaper foreign labor (e.g. Indians) and destroying the middle-class in America. I don’t blame the people who seize the opportunity, I blame evil corporations

        “Russia” comes from the known fact that they very extensively use trolls and bots in an attempt to influence public opinion in the west i’d imagine.

      Someone does good things in India.

      • So proud to be an Indian
      • India super power 2020
      • India is a genius country
      • India is home to the most diverse population
      • <some local patriotic chants>

      Some people do bad things in India

      • Don’t blame the whole country
      • India is too big, problems are big too
      • you just know which people do this
      • Kill these <insert religion/caste>
      • Don’t tie us together with these savages.

      They switch the rhetoric which always paints themselves as a better Indian. Then the whole nation starts brigading the internet discussions to defend themselves like it’s their job.

      India is proud the British made them a big player in the international market after leaving, but also isn’t afraid to go low to bring out their moral superiority when it suits them against their own.

      India is incredibly classist, or more specifically castist? What’s the “ist” for the caste system?

      edit: It’s spelled “Casteist”.

        This specific case isn’t casteist. It is general bigotry against Biharis.

          Just looked this stuff up. Apparently the Biharis use to be viewed as a caste but isn’t anymore. Whatever. If it walks like a duck and quakes like a duck, it’s probably a duck. Racism, Classism, Casteism, religious bigotry, sexism… all looks the same when you take a step back.

                  People who need an other to feel superior to for their own shortcomings and to maintain the rigid world view they were raised in. At the core, they’re the same. Why do you think sexism highly correlates to racism? Classism and casteism follow the same reasoning.

                  Now tell me what the difference is between the bigotry against the Biharis and Casteism?

                One is class war and another is sub class war based on geography.

    I wonder what the Indigenous people would like to say to her. She’s either a really good troll, or a really fucking stupid person.

    I’m choosing to go with the latter explanation.

        Perhaps she’s in the Uncanny Valley of being just clever enough to know how trollish her name and conduct is, while being too dumb to truly understand her origins.

        Regardless, we should treat it as any Uncanny Valley, with a sense of atavism and dread, and shun it into oblivion, in all manners.

          You’re using Uncanny Valley wrong. However, Uncanny Valley still applies since one, or both, are certainly bots and people can’t quite recognize it.

            Hence why I used the term as a loose metaphor, it was meant to invoke that sense of dread for a hollow being. Language is fluid and definitions are analogue.

    I thought she was being quite subtle about it and he wasn’t reading into it.

    Like the phrase “Nobody wants demographic change” hints at the genocide of natives, no? “I get it”, you don’t want your people to suffer like mine did. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but she didn’t need to be that agreeable either way.
