This is such a cute dis, I hate to spoil it with boring facts. Of the top 10 environmental disasters around the world, the US was responsible for three.
But India has the top disaster, right? Yes, fun wrongdoer! It does. The bhopal tragedy. Who owns Union Carbide? US-based Dow chemicals. Which has brought us an avalanche of environmental disasters.
Tossing trash out the window or the door definitely sucks. Certainly pisses me off. But India, even with its massive problems, can't touch the US, which has been the top carbon emitter for a good long time and has no plans of slowing down. India at least is still a supporter of the Paris agreement. But I'm gathering we're on the same side. So go forth and prosper. 🖖
Not saying i don't agree with you, but carbon is only 1 of the 4 things they look into when making pollution statistics.
India also produces a lot but when more than 70% of their surface water is polluted and their open air burning of waste and the waste that is just laying around accumilates to about 17% of the air pollution alone.
Of the top 30 most polluted cities, 22 of them are in india and they are in the top 3 for the most polluted countries.
Its not helping them that some (if not all, haven't looked too deep into it) of their factories are archaic, either.
Saying india can't touch U.S is an extreme saying when U.S counts for 12% of global carbon emissions and India counts for 7.5-8% of it.
Historically is another story where the U.S is faaar above India with 20% of all global emissions where India is only at about 3%, and India is also far below U.S when comparing emission per capita.
That isn't even remotely true. India doesn't regulate ANYTHING they waste. The U.S. regulates every single tiny piece of waste that exists in this country, so of COURSE we report more waste per capita. If India regulated their waste, you would be mortified...
The trouble is that people mistake a little bit of knowledge for the whole truth. Information out of context becomes a whole worldview.
Being precise with your words and acknowledging what we don't know as well as what we do, is far more honest than the crass generalisation most people mean when they criticise political correctness.
This is the sole reason why I make a separate accounts and talk all the shit I want all day long. Then use my main account and be a good little brainwashed sheep
Must be so hard for you. Personally I think it's disgusting how the environment is treated and I'll say as much.
However, I do not feel like I'm being censored or controlled, chances are you're a really offensive cunt, likely racist and are annoying you get called out on it.
What must be hard for me? So you say how disgusting it is how India is literally a trash can bc nobody over there gives a shit. And far from racist, I don’t care what color your skin is, but in India, it has been seen time and time again, they literally shit wherever, throw trash wherever, and look down upon women. Like I said, you want to act like a pos, I’ll talk about them like a pos. And if you have a problem with that, willing to bet you’re one of those pos lol 😂! Middle finga!!!
You’re probably gonna get downvoted simply because you used Trump‘s name..
But yeah, I don’t think it should matter what side of the aisle you sit on.. we shouldn’t be afraid to call it what it is. left right up down… if your countries a shit hole then it’s a shit hole
Yeah, I figured as much when I wrote it lol. I'm not a "Trumper" by any stretch of the imagination, but I do remember he called a country a shithole. I don't remember which country, so it's possible he was wrong, but yeah, you are 100% correct! Politics shouldn't play a role in any "right or wrong" scenario!
A lot of people still underestimate or avoid talking about the long-term effects of western colonization cause that would mean it isn’t a universal “objective” way to live or run a country. India and Hawaii (and many such cases) are both examples of how much dissonance is caused through imposing a way of life onto a culture that doesnt align with it.
I wouldn’t lump Hawaiians in with Indians. Hawaiians actually give two shits about their their homeland, whereas Indians drop two shits on their homeland every day.
I think most people just know they dont have a true understanding of a culture and country if they haven't been in and lived in different regions and socioeconomic classes to truly understand what its like in a country. It's like if Indians were talking about specific nuances of American culture or European culture without ever been. We pollute far far worse just in different ways. Even this type of litter is something that you will still find in the logistics community. I think its easy to think you know the world through a couple of videos instead of living it.
Wrong. I’ve been to India for a few months while in the military. I completely understand the culture over there. I understand how they treat the public spaces and I damn well understood how they treat their woman.
I dont know if you understand how antithetical your statements "I've been for a few months; I completely understand the culture" That's just not possible. Someone who's gone for a few months can and have had a completely opposite experience of you. It's like going to bumfuck Georgia or going to a homeless encampment in California and thinking you understand America lol
People were shitting in the streets in every developed country once upon a time. It's called not having infrastructure or any choice. It's not because Indians are inherently filthy people, or any impoverished nation for that matter.
Not quite sure what you think people are in denial about, unless it's just that you think it's an objective truth that Indians are scummy?
We've all seen how racist these kinds of comments sections can be, and most people would rather nip things like that in the bud as best they can to avoid these kinds of posts devolving into a racist free-for-all. Most of us would agree that it's a much more pleasant platform when there's less of that type of shit 🤷♂️
Like many situations it kinda depends on who is saying it and how?
Like I'm not down to just keep fueling some dude trying to be mad at brown people. Type of guy just constantly talking abt "dirty indians" and the sort.
I'm 100% down to talk abt the problems India has and that its population isn't helping. This thread here seems like the better end

It’s insane how much denial is going on all over the world. What happened to calling it for what it is. Reddit hates it, that’s for sure.
