You are, I am sorry to say, mistaken. The Raj era was huge. There is very old article (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1908/10/the-new...).

<blockquote>But the government is as complete a bureaucracy as that of Russia.</blockquote>

The British Raj kept creating more and more bureaucracy paid for taxes exacted by causing famines, increasing in frequency and intensity. This system was inherited by Nehru and Congress. They were socialists so they increased bureaucracy but they didn't increase corruption - independent India has not seen a famine caused by taxes even in the direst of times.

This is a popular misconception. Paperwork is basically created as part of job being done by the government employee. This employee is hired due to connections and the paperwork created to justify the job. The pointlessness makes people exert the tiniest amount of power they have, like reddit mods. The monetary corruption is more related to salary which is related to well being of economy.

For example, during British Raj almost any British who could, got a job to move these papers in India. India inherited that machinery and hasn't moved to economical right yet. The current government is trying but you can read how it is a bad government in western media since it came to power. The corruption in government allows foreign interference so of course.

Please accept my sincere respect. I have been trying to create a blog of sorts with no or clear degradation upon no javascript myself, but I am not much of a UI expert and have failed to make my UI good looking.

You are using flask. How is the performance? I moved away from flask to FastAPI but another one of my goal has been to create a program that can run on cheapest VMs availalble in the market, which means very low ram. I am currently trying to rewrite the server into Go and use something that can consume jinja2 templates in it.

I avoid speaking here since this is an American website and I don't expect them to be educated about non American things. But you are just making shit up and I would like to know your motives behind it.

The leaps and bounds of improvement in lives of lower caste people is one of the primary reason why casteism is not going away. Unlike racism, anyone can claim to be of any caste and there is literal riots happening to be classified as lower caste so that people can claim the benefit. As I said, I don't plan to start an argument here but you are lying and you should tell us why.

China came a knocking several times, most recently 2022[1]. You know what "The West" has done? Its media doesn't even report on it while it trades with dictatorships like China and Saudia Arabia and Pakistan's military while constantly shitting on the biggest democratic nation in the world and its elected leaders. "The West" can go fsck itself, seriously.

It will many many decades, may be Centuries, before Ukrainian understand that tolerating Nazism is not a good plan and undermining the culture that gave Buddhu and Gandhi is immoral. It may take more time to realize that this war is completely manufactured outside of Europe.

Because they have no love for the job. They are doing it for something else and so are only interested in working on things that have a visible and clear return.

These people are also good at politics. There is a reason bill gates is rich and rms isn't.

And the you will get banned. The only difference is that facebook has real people as requirement while reddit allows sock puppetry.

All this talk is very funny to me because it shows that most people here are too young. The algorithm exists because the establishment demanded it. I say establishment because I remember what the old geek culture was and the demand didn't come from it. It came from outside of technical libertarian circle. Once social media companies said it is possible the demand became even more shrill and it culminated in 2016 when Trump won. The algorithm was created specifically to do what Zuckerberg made it do in 2020.

Oh really. What a joke

I don't know which world you are living in. Poco and Redmi blow Samsung off of all the ground. Samsung charges for the brand and is super expensive when you can get similar or better phone from Xiaomi.

This is a problem every activist dealing with baised judiciary faces. And there are biases - they don't get reported because it puts a dent into our faith in this institution - but they exist. And if you see them you will forever lose faith in not only the judiciary but the other institution that does have an impact on it.

It is the media. Judiciary is obsessed with appearences. That is all they care about. A decision that looks unjust can have people revolting, and that is the failure of the institution. So they follow media like crazy celebrities.

And so you have plant articles in media that these judges read. It takes time and effort but that is how you bring change.

Dude. This is not public database. This is for profit multi-billion dollara corporations spending more money on marketing than security and selling a product which promises notability based on publicly editable no-oversight database.

You defending thia is really just telling more about you. Amazon sits on a domain called "international" movie database where they don't have anyone to verify the biggest block-busters of the biggest movie makers in the world. With your logic you should be out on the streets demanding criminal proceedings against this "fraud".

Nothing else for me to say. Vote me down all you want.

Right. We can achieve heaven if we just punish every sin. Not trusting almighty Google's algorithm is just too much sacrifice the good people are making.

Promoting publicly editable database as authoritative is high bar we must achieve at the cost of just banning juvenile behavior.

Ummm, this is SEO? Because it is a hack from google's algo? This is exactly my problem with the "hackers" here and the article's author - conflating the action with content. He finds an unscroupolous usage of that hack and generalizes without any effort that all of it is fraud.

It is not okay to glide over the 'young people' part and generally not being empathetic to those trying to beat the market. If it is fraud, which is a crime, are you suggesting these people should be sent to jail? Because if not then you shouldn't use the that word. Words have meaning.

Seo is a fair play and I don't see why we are so quick to blame young people. It is Google that should be blamed for making themselves more important than they deserve to be.

Maybe not in USA.

I was hired via a consultancy firm (Ness Technologies) that would have me work in PayPal chennai office back in 2012. A new CEO came and basically reduced work force drastically, the worst mass layoffs I have ever seen. The environment then changed to worse rapidly etc. etc.

I decided to quit the toxic environment. Contractually I was supposed to get 2 months of basic pay, but Ness and Paypal conspired together and concocted a story where I have falsely accused someone of sexual harassasment and since it is false, I can be fired without that 2 months of money. Then they asked my to nicely sign a letter where I forfeit that salary willingly or they will report "this gross misconduct" to future employers.

My review in Glassdoor lasted a year.

What you are describing is Newton's law of cooling and won't have an effect here.

Which book would you suggest please?

As I said, MRAs are more active in other countries. I have no idea about USA but as far as I know MRA is very small and very unorganized.

PS: I am shadow banned. Won't post again.

Wow.

Where exactly I have mentioned that theory of Eugenics is American? I think you have misread my whole comment due to lack of control. 'USA' has been mentioned by people who think MGTOW is an American think, and I have denied it. Eulogy is obviously a misspelling of Eugenics. Forgive me, I am not a native English speaker.

The social experiments I am referring to originated because people worried about increasing population that became hard to control to people in power. The fear of Malthusian crisis originated from England and spread through every western educated person, which for non-western countries like Japan literally meant aristocratic nobles. This coupled with industrialization and militarization of Japanese society required use of female work force and so policies were put in place to take them out of the house and freedom to divorce/remarriage was given as carrot. Here is an article from 1930 discussing this same issue:

"The old idea that the marriage of young people should be made by the gods with the assistance of their parents seems to be well-nigh completely discarded... While the young men's ideal of what their wives should be still seems to be a pretty woman with a classical face, backed with rich parents, the young women's fancies are more rational and more practical... 'as illustrated in most modern Japanese novels, which are generally brought about by the worthless character of parent-chosen husbands.' The young women seem to think that all the men who count at all are self made men."

(NOTE: Nowadays women want men who think marriages are made in heaven while they enjoy full freedom to break it as they please with monetary incentives. :D)

As "Mother's Educational Level Influences Birth Rate"[2], and since males are two times more likely to cause their own deaths after a divorce than females are[3], drop in population and increase in male suicide ratio can be very well be predicted, if anyone ever cared. Unfortunately men are generally more prone to suffer from hypertension and depression than women so that contributes even more in male death. [5]

To be very very on-topic, "blue lights" might save more men in USA than Japan as per following study:

"The gender ratio of suicide rates was higher in the United States (3.9) and Australia (3.3), where gender differences in suicide methods were more prominent, than in Korea (1.8) and Japan (2.7)."[4] Here gender ratio refers to people who are effected by gender differences in suicide methods.

Further more, the lowest gender ratio in suicide in Japan was back in 1990[6], "when men accounted for “just” 61.6% of suicides." After that divorce rate skyrocketed.[7][8]

This might look like a conspiracy theory to people who have never read a single thing about it, but to corraborate one of these links notices that while most divorces before WWII were initiated by men, it is now women who lead the numbers. And to people who use double quotes around men's rights and think it is some sort of American cult of misogynists - two things: 1. I don't pity you, but I will when one day you will need it. In my experience Feminist men get f*cked the most. 2. Here is a men's right organization in Japan working under the banner of conservatism to survive in a place which is under tremendous pressure from UN to reform alimony laws so more money is put in the hands of women. "Japan's 'Chauvinistic Husbands' save marriages"[9]

I suppose I haven't actually talked about the experiments. In my defence, all the research leads to cause of female suicide and the book I was going to quote is lost in my emails (I had it scanned). I will update here when I find it. What I wanted to refer to was the systematic implementation of eugenics from "Oriental Studies department" of so many universities in Europe (Sweden practiced it as late as 1984 AFAIR, with 80% of victims of forced sterilization being female.), importation of western laws following one after the other fad, systematic discouragement of study on male condition etc.

PS: I found a very good tool for while researching on this topic: http://databank.worldbank.org/data/reports.aspx?source=283 There is some surprising (lack of) data there.

All the ascetics have historically shunned sex, except Osho who... went in a whole different direction.

If you are reading about MGTOW then most probably you are reading a very slanted view of them by people who don't like to here that men are suffering. MGTOWs don't hate women nor they consider feminists as enemies. It is very much a political movement and hence gets shitted upon by political feminism. Not a surprise there. But to listen to ignorant people talking as an expert because they read something written by equally ignorant people with malicious intent is mostly funny, until you realist the very high number of male suicides. As I said earlier, if gender were reversed we wouldn't be having this conversation.

You live in fantasy world if you think men's rights activists are an American thing. They are biggest in 3rd world countries, you just don't hear about them.

> it's being oppressed by feminism and women are evil succubuses and must be avoided to punish them.

Ughhh... no that is not what MRAs talk about. And can we just look at some data about when suicide rates rocketed? And as a feminist I was under the impression that women were the ones going through more stressful working conditions?

That is the problem here. If the gender ratio was reversed no one would have to suffer through "sarcasm in quotes".

Facebook is asking its users in India if 'you support free internet to poor people?' and then giving them a text-box and a submit button to write an email to TRAI in support for Free Basic.

You are modded down but internet in India is faster AND cheaper than USA.

Because you are married and too old to do adventure outside. And work place is less troublesome than being married :p

Even if it counted it won't be the smallest one with the time it will take to get bail in most countries.

Africans who are not from America generally realize that their society has a lot of problems, which really isn't there in America or the 'developed' countries. So they try to learn what they can to improve.

African Americans have internalized their class status so much, copying 'white people' has become equivalent to not being black.

Green Lantern theory says president should have sway over Congress. That is not the issue here.
