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.
This autonomy comes from the people. The strength of India is that each state used to be very homogenous in its culture. So what the people of each state want, they get. However, over the past decades the big cities are being pumped with diversity - people flowing from one state to another - diluting this cultural cohesion.
But rural India is still pretty solid.
"diversity" means trying to import kebab or Africans for some reason. Even Mahatma Ghandi was an Indian Hindu Nationalist whose greatest achievement was kicking Kaffirs out of the Royal Mail Office.
Screw these diversity officers. "India" is extremely diverse. There's no need to import people who insist that the Mughals did nothing wrong.
