The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining to create a “doom loop” for the world’s poorest people, as staple food prices soar.

Mainwhile, Russia is actively engaged in the destruction of Ukraine wheat export terminals, and India remains silent.

Where do you people come from
Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad instances are full of tankies. Way I see it it’s only a matter of time before they defederate due to having to deal with sane people since the site blew up or people defederate from them as they’re just bloody annoying.
I’m ready for that to happen. It’s getting old already.
They’re fun to troll at least.
While true, at which point does defederating make sense? Been wondering this myself. Reality is full of bad actors so we should be capable of countering these threats without purely relying on censorship. OTOH that takes time and energy best spend elsewhere.
I think it all depends on user levels. At present the activity isn’t that much that mods can’t deal with any arguments the difference in opinion creates. When you get to Reddit user levels that becomes a lot more difficult.

This reads like an ironic shitpost. No one can seriously believe that one person saying mean things can rationalize an invasion that’s killing thousands and hurtsling food security for millions.

I can point you towards many racist political figures throughout history who weren’t fascist. Racist is not the same as fascist. Sure, fascism usually requires creating an in group and an out group, but it’s also a lot more than that and needs to be larger than one person. Even if this person is a fascist, it still doesn’t even mean anything. He doesn’t have the political power to do anything fascist with.

You can’t actually be this detached from reality…
Yeah. All those damned Jewish Nazis in charge over there.
If you were any dumber, you’d be a doorstop.

Tbf “Asians are subhuman” is what the nazis used to justify killing millions of Russians, Ukrainians, and other USSR ethnicities. Millions of ukrainian red army soldiers are rolling in their graves.
I can’t find one source for this that doesn’t come back to elrisala.
Even if this story is true, one asshole doesn’t justify the genocide that Russia is committing in Ukraine.
Even if this story is true, it happened long after Russia started their “special military operation” and can’t be used to justify it.

Try harder.
India, Indonesia and the rest of non alignment countries do not need to enter this war set up by the West.
Enter the war, no. Make a simple moral comment on who the agresssors are and that they should stop, years.
I agree with you that India doesn’t need to take sides, but I’m pretty sure Russian/West cooperation had been increasingly positive since the cold war ended, right until Putin decided he wanted to be an imperialist again. The West didn’t make him invade a sovereign, non-threatening country.
Russia imperalist is akin to someone bombing Iraq, Vietnam and Afghanistan?
LOL
From what I read India and Russia are really old friends, that’s why India isn’t saying anything and they do lot of business.
More than old friends. India is heavily reliant on russian arms. Replacing them would be a slow, expensive process. Considering it is surrounded on two sides by aggressors with regular conflicts, jeopardizing relations with Russia is not an option.
