    I have no time to read the article, but I assume this is about violent oppression of minorities:

    I don’t agree with Modi but if he is getting elected he is getting elected.

    A certain infamous German shitstain in history was elected, too…

      Which German?

        You know which one. Austrians were considered (and most identified) as Germans before WW2. Insisting they weren’t of German ethnicity is a historical revisionism.

          I didn’t mentioned the ethnicity, but he wasn’t German.

            What was his ethnicity then?

              Irrelevant, I was clearly mentioning nationality.

                You wrote “Which German?”, how is that “clearly mentioning nationality”?

                German means both ethnicity and nationality.

                  In any normal conversation it refers to nationality.

                    The context is Hitler, so why can’t you infer that German is spoken of as an ethnicity?

          Godwin, by the way.

      The article talks about the potential for India to slide into fascism.

      It is definitely something to be concerned about but the things Modi is doing (stoking attacks on Muslims) is marginally better than what the CCP are doing (forced reeducation camps).

      The west is happy to turn a blind eye to China, Modi would have to do a lot worse for any reaction from the west.

        right, except sometimes it’s easier to impose conditions on certain countries than others. for example the US was able to get the previous Indian administration to sign a treaty ceding partial control of their arsenal to them, on threat of sanctions (if I recall correctly). as much as the US might want to do something like that with China, it wouldn’t be anywhere near as easy to pull off.

        this is just an example, I’m not attaching moral value to what occurred/occurs

        I’m no china apologist, but if you know anything about how Indians riot, thousands of people can be murdered in a very short period of time. I haven’t heard anything about death squads for Uyghurs. Just saying, if I had to choose between being violently murdered by a Hindu mob and being detained by commies, I’d take the latter.
