@prince_the_duck I agree on this.

@IndianSoulParty even now hinata is a yes girl, she cant push back naruto on anything, she isnt herself her dreams of being a good clan leader, all gone,

Sakura and Naruto meant for each other taken apart by toxic fans.

They all were kids. We can't be sure *anyone* loved anyone there and not just crushes/admiring. Sasuke and Sakura aren't good together as it's toxic. Naruto and Hinata is quite good but romance is badly written. Sakura also treated Naruto quite badly (I hate that violent trope as a whole tbh). Karin and Sasuke were decent.

@IndianSoulParty no they are not, hinata admired naruto, it wasnt love, she barely talked to him

When someone says sepoy minds it means an Indian who internalizes the self hatred worldview so deeply that they act as an enforcer of it against their own community. The “sepoy mind” is the psychology that drives that person. A person with a “sepoy mind” is seen as: · Believing that foreigners are inherently superior. · Seeking validation from foreigners by parroting their critiques/ even lies of his own culture, often in a harsher,more brutal and condensing tone · Acting as an informant or gatekeeper; the one who tells the boss “here’s what’s wrong with these backward people,” and earns a pat on the head for it. · Over Policing their own community’s, while excusing or rationalizing foreign violence, imperialism, or hypocrisy. As for origanally A sepoy was an Indian soldier employed by British East India Company. Sepoys were the armed muscle that allowed a tiny number of British officers to conquer and control the Indian subcontinent

Explain "Sepoy minds" to me. As a White American, I do not inherently understand the visceral meaning of "sepoy."

@YuvrajS2012P @Saatvata It's this

@Saatvata @IndianSoulParty trying to demonified Hinduism or forced conversions, but they actually were civilizing the local Goa population, or the inquisition was not religious, but only a political movement, they simply were trying to gain control over the region.

How are people this ignorant of Islam in this day and age? They destroy idols of Buddha, Hindu Gods, etc. because they regard idols as taghut and idolatry as shirk. It has nothing to do with Bengali racial animosity towards Chakmas (?)

🙇‍♂️

@Saatvata I did not know about them. Sorry. Thanks for the information

@IndianSoulParty It is primarily ethnic. Zerbadi/Bamar Muslims also exist yet they were not targetted or ethnically cleansed by the Tatmadaw.

@YuvrajS2012P @Saatvata Niccolao Manucci is another good example. His book Storia do Mogor but instead the Catrou published distorted version as Histoire générale de l’empire du Mogul

@Saatvata @IndianSoulParty Their might be some problabmatic practices, perhaps number of problabmatic practices in Pagan culture, but theological advancement, & development is a part of any tradition. And it's not that all practice of Abrahmics are so good, they too have/had weird positions, and practices.

Niccolao Manucci is another good example. His book Storia do Mogor but instead the Catrou published distorted version as Histoire générale de l’empire du Mogul

@Saatvata do you have any good book about slavic paganism? It's one of the few paganism I have not read anything about.

@YuvrajS2012P @Saatvata Exactly. It's actually quite sad. European pagans from what little we actually know was very vibrant

@Saatvata @IndianSoulParty Pagans were demonic,nasty, filthy, degraded, etc how one know that ? Through accounts of Abrahmics, we barely possess any account of pagan culture, what we know about them is only through these Christian accounts only.

@Saatvata Agreed about Lhotshampas but for rohingyas? The Rohingya genocide is not solely religious or ethnic, but ethno-religious in nature. It's a mix

Ethnic cleansing of Rohingyas and Lhotshampas were primarily ethnic, not religious. While the ethnic cleansing of Tamils was partially religious in nature, Tamils still exist in Sri Lanka. There is no law forbidding them from practicing their religion under penalty of death akin to the anti-pagan laws in Christian Rome.

I will say one thing. Big issue is binary logic of left. Which kinda is secular Christianity. Good vs Evil. Real world is complex. This good vs evil turned into oppressed vs oppressor. So when they decided one group is oppressor. Then all nuances is thrown out of the window.

@YuvrajS2012P @Saatvata It's a child's logic from those people. If other side said xyz. I must be opposite. That's why Indian left is so stupid

@Saatvata @IndianSoulParty Charles action was political*, not religious. And then the same will have issue when Aundrey say that the act of Aurangazeb was political, not religious.🫠

Well yes no denying that but it's not exclusive. Just look at every single buddhist country neighboring India. Sri Lanka :- done genocide Myanmar :- done genocide. Bhutan :- done genocide/ethnic cleansing Or even Japanese buddhists or shinto. Even hinduism. Common variable is humans. We humans are most beautiful creatures aren't we? We are capable of beautiful art, philosophy and at same time we are capable of great horrors

Extremisms is ultimately ideological in nature, whether it be religious (e.g. Christianity, Islam) or ethnic/racial (e.g. White Nationalism). Among religions, some (e.g. Christianity, Islam) are more inherently prone towards extremism due to eschatological reasons (belief in an imminent apocalypse).

Well yes. I would just say. I already have a response for it. x.com/i/status/20658…

As I said. You can't cure extremism 100%. That's impossible. Let's take example of France. 80% of public supports abortions. But 20% don't. 20% of France is 13m people almost. (Well including kids but still) so if they protest. It would be seen as huge despite the fact that 80% are supportive of abortions

@IndianSoulParty Why do attacks of abortion clinics by groups like Army of God happen in the most wealthy country in the world?

@Saatvata Obviously. That's why I am quite negative towards religion as a whole. Well tbh that's a completely different topic entirely. Cause despite my distate for religion because I have read ton of religion, especially indic, my life has been carved out by em

@IndianSoulParty Indian Hindus (and Jains, Buddhists, etc.) need to understand that they are pagans. Abrahamic religions, even the most clearly pagan ones like Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox, do not like paganism.

@rxtex1 @prince_the_duck Huh? Never said that. There has been lot of development especially regarding roads and tourism but doesn't mean there shouldnt be criticism of his xenophobia. Both arent mutually exclusive

@IndianSoulParty @prince_the_duck I see. So you've seen no development in your place? Drop in crime rates? Nothing?

The fu- you said about my pookie yogi?

Cause there are Christan extremist in usa? It's literally ran by pro colonial people and a rapists. Again. As I said in my tweet that extremist/hatred/bigotry will always exist. There will always be hateful people. Plus, USA civil rights is not even a century old. Civil rights movement was stll 1968. (For reference my dad was born in 1970) it's not even been several generation. It's impossible to cure ALL bigotry from ALL. It's same for all humans. Regardless of race or religion or gender. A decent example would be Weimar republic.William Shirer in his famous work The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich described the Weimar Constitution as "on paper, the most liberal and democratic document of its kind the twentieth century had ever seen,". Along with several radical artists (for it's time) But we all saw what happened there then. American Civil Rights Movement coincided with usa economic boom. This unprecedented era of prosperity created favorable conditions for the movement's success. You, I cannot stress enough can't have cure for extremism without economy and education and time. If usa economy completely crashes one day. We will see rise in extremism again.

@IndianSoulParty Why is construction of a Hanuman statue in the USA, the "land of the free and home of the brave," so controversial? There are numerous statues of Jesus in India.
