No religion, or for that matter any strongly-held ideology, is immune from veering towards fascism.
In case you need to hear it from someone who was raised Hindu: Usha is not a hostage, she is an accomplice. She is culpable. Fuck her and the fascists she colludes with. May she go down with all of them. As Zohran ably demonstrates, our communities do not aspire to whiteness & don’t seek to appease.
Vance's latest rant has set off another misguided round of "free Usha" rhetoric. This isn't just inaccurate--she's wholly a part of this fascist project--it's dangerous. We can no longer afford to imagine fascism as smaller than it is. Hindu fascism is vast, too. No religion is immune.

American civil war was about slavey. But actually was about Europe refusing to buy from US, because the “competitive advantage” slavery gave.
This affected industrialising North way more than agrarian South.

So he’s suing BBC and now this. Remind me again why we rolled out the red carpet for him TWICE!? Did we really think it would make a difference? The only difference it’s made is show the whole world that, since Brexit, we are all alone, weak and desperate.
