This IS Indian culture. Since they have no respect for individual liberty and no civic-mindedness, they produce governments like this.
Trump is such a pro-liberty and not into tribal conflict at all right? Or at least, Trump is overall less problematic than Modi, right? Trump is literally the most anti-liberty and tribalistic piece of shit I saw in the modern era, and that cunt actually even won the election one time in the literal fucking USA (home of the immigrants)! People like you are guzzling buckets of his cum and you feel so good that you are in denial about J6 and literal fucking coup.
Your pathetic attempt at defending Trump at Michael Huemer's post was so sad that I thought you are just a retard.
Yeah, you don't understand their question because your brain has a large piece of dick stuck in and you can't think straight. Go to a doctor and get that dick out.
you know nothing about Modi and indian politics, kid.
i guess you see every journalist and every media lie, right?
So you can't sit in USA and know about these unless you spend years into it.
india is the most diverse nation on the earth with diverse parties
modi leans into tribal conflict. first every politician need to win
second
there are two top political umbrella
one that says india has been a continuous civilisation for 5000 years, and in that period thousands of worships and sects born into that civilization, understand the thing that unites us and make this holy indian subcontinent civilizationally aware, productive and prosperous.
another one, just panders to whatever major western far leftists ideology is around that time, during the British raj, it was anti-colonialism, then post independence it was communism now it is woke whatever
To a certain extend Indians have to be tricked into supporting markets. Americans need to be tricked also. Ezra Klein has long described the Republican party as a machine that converts social frustration into tax cuts. I think he's right.The BJP is shaping up to be the same. I think Indian culture is a lot like American culture politically. The long dominance of the INC was a temporary feature of Indian politics that resulted from the party's connection with the independence movement and the poverty of media access for Indians. In the future, India will look more like America and have similar economic prospects.
Modi wins because his voter base is poor-uneducated-backward-easily brainwashed-low IQ-dumb peole who don't have to pay taxes (you have to pay income tax only if your income crosses a certain limit). He overtaxes the middle class so that he can give subsidies and rations and benefits and free healthcare to that poor-dumb class. Nowadays they have even started giving women a pocket-money every month. All political parties (It has become a competition among them so as to who can give more to win votes). Sadly that poor-dumb class makes around 60-70% of Indian population. That class is the one you see in "Dirty street food" and "unhygienic food" videos. Both the vendors and the customers belong to that particular class. India is a highly segregated and classist society. Lower caste people of upper class are considered upper class and are not discriminated in my view.
The educated Indians actually hate Modi because of his polarising politics and the dictatorial propaganda he distributes (he has full control over the national media). His leaders give speeches against Muslims to polarise the society and Hindus vote for them (not all but mostly from that poor-dumb class).
Modi actually is a really dumb person. His educational certificates are all fake and he is the first Prime Minister since independence (1947) who is uneducated. But since he suffers from extreme levels of narcissism, him and his propaganda team have always displayed him as a great intellectual orator cum scholar. He is also very close friends with the major businessmen of the country. They secretly fund his party and in return he gives them cheap land and excuses their loans and makes favourable policies and gives them all the important (profitable) tenders for various projects. He has been exposed and the educated people have started seeing his true self very well now.

This is not Indian culture. Please read Artha Shaastra by Chaanakya. India has long been capitalist. Asia in general too.
Really? So why the Americans keep voting for their government? They have no respect for individual liberty and civic mindedness as well?
I don’t really understand how a government that spends only 15% of GDP can be so influential.
If you want to stifle growth you have to employ enough bureaucrats first.
Why do Indians keep voting for Modi if this is true?
Modi leans into tribal conflict and is hardly a pro-liberty figure. Maybe I don't understand your question.

Ezra Klein is a deliberate liar. See his interview with Sam Harris about Charles Murray.
You're making a huge guess that India will turn out to be like America. Nothing like that has happened yet.
Why in your view is Modi the most popular Indian PM of all time and has been this for more than 10 years?
Modi tries to unite all the many groups of India together and runs on unity and oneness. Or unity in diversity.
Modi is the more free market and pro business than almost anyone from the Indian left or even center left.

??? All of the free income schemes are by the leftist parties in India. The BJP is explicitly not doing that.
