The Nameless One 🔻

The last time outsiders took over Calcutta, it turned out badly for India.

yall are more worried about an actor winning tamil nadu than the literal horror story about to unfold in bengal now like be fr pls

It’s only going to get worse. I know saying “Organize!” can be read as empty hand-waving, but the truth is forging & strengthening connections with others is the only way we’ll survive the next decade intact and not insane. We’re all struggling—there’s potential solidarity there!

The reason millennials are so nostalgic is that they got a brief taste of a world that wasn’t entirely controlled by the stupidest people who’ve ever lived.

your first mistake is calling tamil nadu, a progressive state and the second is hoping that education and a high literacy rate will overpower the people's jingoism. that man is winning bec he got a cult following.

"this is a wake up call....." bhai this is the 30th snooze alarm atp

Crazy how Indians were whining about Islamic extremists taking over Bangladesh, but Jamaat-e-Islami lost the election. Meanwhile, Indians themselves elected a Hindutva extremist party like BJP. Says a lot about which country is actually radicalized.

While people are rightly crediting Gyanesh Kumar for his role in BJP victory in West Bengal, one also need to acknowledge the role of SC. Millions of legitimate Voters were disenfranchised and SC didn’t even blink and did their part.

my only contribution to election discourse is that 12 years later, secular-liberals still believe that lament-declaring that India is done for is either an intellectual contribution or a political strategy

RIP Joseph Stalin you would've loved to see Joseph defeat Stalin in Tamil Nadu elections

Witnessing the fall of Mamata, Pinarayi, and Stalin, easily three of the strongest anti-BJP voices in India, should make all of us very, very concerned. The impending doom of saffron fascism looms over all of us. Scary times ahead.

Stalin was the best chief minister in India by far, the kind of good governance he delievered in TN was second to none. Done well on all economic and social indicators. DMK losing to an inexperienced ‘actor’ tells you something about ‘hero-worship’ culture of India.

Stalin survived Hitler but couldn’t survive Vijay 😭🥀

yall far too sheltered and comfortable to be playing russian roulette with the lives of those with no margin for error. dark times ahead.

they're making him the chief minister man i can't believe my eyes
