democracy is just colonialism's favorite child - pretending to give power while keeping it in the same hands. can't produce one confident marginalized leader worldwide but wants us to believe it's 'for the people.' what people?

What use is a chamber full of ‘female’ politicians who declare themselves feminists if they step over dead women’s bodies to do so?

🧵1/12 While you debate ancient caste privileges, you're looking at the wrong power structure. One community's networks have engineered India's biggest wealth consolidation - through boardrooms, not temples.

India perfected a system where:

> Middle class lives on EMIs
> Marginalized stay permanent labor
> Rich Savarnas get tax exemptions
> Success needs both capital and caste

This isn't an economy; it's caste capitalism.

Black Friday is when capitalism drops its polite mask and shows its true face. Not sales—psychological warfare. Not discounts—desperation marketed as deals.

We're not saving money; we're losing our humanity.

The colonial legacy lives on in every 'perfect' banana we eat. While we obsess over cosmetic standards, entire ecosystems are being sacrificed and communities exploited.

These aren't just fruits - they're artifacts of modern imperialism masked as consumer preferences.

The internet age has exposed Indian cinema's creative crisis, revealing how institutional mediocrity and casteist gatekeeping can no longer hide behind regional isolation. Global connectivity has made these systemic failures increasingly visible to audiences worldwide.

The perpetuation of mediocre storytelling in Indian cinema cannot be separated from its caste-based gatekeeping. This systemic resistance to both creative and social progress suggests an industry more invested in preserving traditional power structures than artistic excellence.

Indian political parties making memes at each other just shows how we've elevated democratic discourse to new heights of meaninglessness.
