They live in the south. Today we were talking about the case numbers (yeah its meaningless, but thats what everyone is obsessed with) and I told them that Uttar Pradesh had completely cured Covid. They were surprised to hear it. They had the daily list of new cases for all states next to them. Went through the list, found it - 0 cases.
They were literally shocked. This is the real red pill moment. They were asking "How come we never heard about it? Shouldn't they be playing it on all the news?"
I had to go over the mainstream primer (I tell them once every 2 weeks, but it doesn't stick) but this time it had an impact. They started asking me how and I told them about Ivermectin. Well, they jumped on their phone and are busy trying to order it.
Hey OP- So nice to know we have some Red pilled Indians. I live in an area where there is a very large population of Indian families (lots of tech jobs, not Cali). Do you have insight into why so many Indians are still running around with masks. It seems like a very high percentage? Cultural? High trust of news? I’m at a loss. And they send their kids to school with masks still too. Nobody else wearing them in general. I’m truly curious.
Affluent Indians, including those living abroad, especially tech job - they are highly susceptible to the mainstream narrative, unfortunately. They have a tendency to want to blend in and dont like conflicts. If they need to be redpilled, it has to happen via their community - via someone who is elder and they all trust. If they see a few people changing stance they will all change as well.
Because any group of people which has a high concentration of college degrees will listen to the MSM narrative.
The other issue is that most immigrants from Asia only care about 'prosperity' while ignoring freedom. They don't seem to understand that we can't have prosperity without freedom, or at least feel like they're not going to be affected.
It was different in the 1980's when immigrants had to assimilate and they had no 'home country' to go back to. There was no freedom or opportunity in India or China.
But now, Asian immigrants like to keep a foot in the US and another foot back home (dual citizenship). It wasn't like in the 19th century where Irish, Italian and Chinese workers had to leave behind everything and take so many risks to be free. In other words, freedom isn't the attraction anymore except for a select few countries like Cuba/Eastern Europe/Hong Kong.
The mass house arrest only affected working class people. As far as an upper class immigrant is concerned, they only care about entering the college brainwashing system & six figure salaries.
This explains why the working class immigrants from the exact same countries were more likely to vote Trump in 2020.
Colleges teach compliance, not free thought.
Yep, Today's immigrant is purely focused on economics vs. funny little ideas like freedom.
Universities and actually all our schools are oriented toward building good little worker bees that listen when authority tells you what to do.
I'm about sick of authority. Any authority.
Getting rid of the social safety nets would definitely help in attracting the right kind of immigrant.
Another problem is that there are very few media networks/newspapers/TV channels in foreign languages that are conservative. There's no right wing alternative to Univision or Zee TV. The only exception is really the Epoch Times, which might explain why Chinese voters voted 40% for Trump.
Peer pressure, are you living in NJ? I had been living there since last year and just moved to Texas. I hate Hindus for being such sheeple, especially the efuycated ones. And I'm myself a Hindu...
Nope. Texas as well.
Seattle-ish?
