You refer to a post in which the poster talked of questioning the state. Questioning of the state is not treason except in tyrannical states. Want India to be like China, do you?
You mean do we want India to be like China where the rule of law prevails, the nation competes with America in influence and economy, poverty is well under control, literacy and education is high, the political junta has the will to send the military to cement it's claims, terrorism and it's ideology is dead or dying, cultural enrichment and assertion is gaining speed with a confident and non-sycophantic leadership who doesn't bend to the west?
Golly, no, sir. Whatever gave you that idea?
We're very happy when our young men die unnecessarily as long as we can pretend play we're not surrounded by a rabid communist and an islamist state.
We love to dance around the problems and goddamnit if it isn't heartwarming to see an insurgency drag on for 4 decades with various foreign players and belligerents getting involved.
I'm a man of culture. I fully believe this glorious tradition of suicide bombings, rape and murder of my people must continue as it has.
What's a people without tradition, eh?
We're not like China, oh gosh, no.
We just want to be a democracy like the UK whose H-boys kill unarmed IRA men and women in Gibraltar or outright open fire on crowds when faced with secession in Ireland.
We love to be judged by the double standards of the west where a bombing is answered by invading two (arguably three) nations which had barely anything to do with the bombings but, on our side, we're expected to practice restraint in the name of democracy after a foreign sponsored genocide.
Isn't democracy just lovely, sir?
By the gods, I love democracy. Especially when heavy handedness can't be practiced on terrorists because your average voter has an IQ of room temperature in an igloo and can be manipulated into castrating and juggling his own balls for a political party who promises him cars with four doors and even more whores. I too, can't stop drawing comparisons with China with a myopic, non contextual view of it's growth after it's oh-so-tyrannical practice of unfettered
......*gasp*...... tyranny.
It's practically a democratic blasphemy to breath the same air as a tyrannical regime, much less do even mildly similar things, lest we be branded by the hot iron stamp of "Undemocratic".
This is why, while the CCP members breath through their nose, I breath through my ass.
I take democracy to the heart, good sir.
It smells weird, my burps sound like farts and farts sound like burps, but I manage.
I can sacrifice the anatomy the gods bestowed upon me on the altar of democracy. What's a few strangers who just happen to have mothers on the same side of the border?
I fully believe in keeping these tyrannical regimes in check too.
This is why I support NATO efforts in starving and killing Yemenis (who are also suffering the world's biggest humanitarian crisis) trying to stave off the tyrannical Saudi's influence.
Simpletons may say it's hypocrisy but we true sons of democracy know the truth, don't we?
This is all a ploy to get the Houthis to win the war against Saudi Arabia so one day we can highlight the benefits of Democracy in a Matt Damon starring thriller on the silver screen.
Such intellect! How could the commies ever compete!
They never stood a chance!
I ignore the literal hundreds of dictators and terrorists NATO supported just to get an edge over their competition because in the end, what matters is democracy!
Keeping your own people safe!
This is why I fully support democracy.
It keeps my people safe by sending them to the divine safety of Svarg.
TLDR- Western nations keep themselves safe by sponsoring a pro Western tyrant over an anti western tyrant to keep up the facade of democracy while lecturing nations with minimal foreign footprint for not doing the same and keeping within their own borders.
