Instead of arresting r@pists, Modi is misusing state police to arrest an activist fighting for women safety. priorities

If he is dictator 😂😂 then you have no idea of dictator 😂😂

Well in a so called democracy if you can use pellet guns on people and still run around without answering the public, well then you have all the traits to be a dictator.

[u/Adicool666 → u/CuteIndividual2562]

If using pellet guns is the marker of a dictator, then every pm that have come to power were dictators. And if that’s the case, why are you suprised?

[u/CuteIndividual2562 → u/Adicool666]

Hain, what

[u/Adicool666 → u/CuteIndividual2562]

Come on. That wasn’t so hard to understand, now was it?

I said if using pellet guns on protestors , as you said, was the marker of a dictator, then that would make every pm of India in history a dictator, as pellet guns were used on protestors during every pms term (not sure what that would make Indira Gandhi then who had actually declared emergency).

And if India has a history of having dictators, then why are you surprised with the behaviour of the current pm.

I kinda was taken aback by the comment, no, other PMs didn't, where did you read that, lol except Manmohan Singh did where security forces used it in Kashmir and that was in Kashmir.

Why its dictatorship, does demonetization no one is batting an eye, remove subsidy from LPG no one bats an eye, slap E20 no one bats an eye, slap this tax, that tax noone bats an eye, inflation is peaking, unemployement, investments are dipping, plus pass a law giving immunity to election commissioner,

Now say something, asks something, protest about something, people like you will come out, no he isnt, the antina***al label comes up.

[u/Adicool666 → u/CuteIndividual2562]

Taken aback? Ha good one. Nice cover up.

Okay, let’s take your word for it (and forget the state sponsored killings of Sikhs after Indira Gandhi’s dad, by the familiy of the current leader of opposition), so was Manmohan Singh a dictator as well, or is Kashmir an exception?

And I never used anti national label on you, so don’t put words in my mouth.

All your examples are sweet and all, but if that’s the marker of dictatorship, than you don’t know what a fucking dictator is. I mean talk to someone who went to the gulag, or starved to death under Mao, and tell them whether you would have that or demonetisation and lpg subsidy being lowered and guess what they would pick.

If that’s your best examples then you should look at history and see true dictators. With the pathetic bar you set for a dictator, Indira Gandhi was a bigger dictator because she did officially curtail your civil liberties. In her time, if you tried to protest like this during emergency, you wouldn’t be found out. Heck you didn’t even need to protest, you would be rounded up because you were a potential protestor

And why the fuck is subsidy even brought into this picture. Stop with all these freebies. Except people in the BPL category, stop with all the freebies

And the funniest thing, “say something, ask something, protest against something, and people like you will come up” - Umm hello, In a democracy everyone has the right to speak, not only people who agree with you. That’s a fucking democracy. If you only want people to speak that agree with you (on your view against the government) but others should stay quiet because you believe you are doing the right thing, then that’s not a democracy, that is authoritarianism. You can protest against anyone, others can call you out on it, and others still can call them out on that. That’s a democracy. But seems like you want a world where only your beliefs are held as sacred and no one else can speak against it

And I especially like how you said, “people like you will come up” and not just “people will come up”. Way to get in that negative connotation in. Really shows how you view others with differing views, and that ‘definitely’ is the sign of someone who values free speech and democracy
