Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

BJP wants to turn india into hindu theocracy.

There's absolutely a trend/coordinated effort among the global right wing to basically turn every country into Russia, strong dictator, highly nationalistic, one religion forced on everybody, and much much more. It's happening in America, Europe, Canada, and all of their media and influencers are working together to push the same "values" on everyone, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, racist, and anti-intellectual, anything "woke".

It's time for us to unite globally against the Right wing and their allies, that's the real world war we're going to have to go through in order to stop them from holding us back and to fix this world's problems.

Democrats 🤝I.N.D.I.A alliance

Democrats and Progressives are just America's portion, here's a big list of the other folks we should be allied with:

However use caution, far too many of these also act as or are funded as controlled opposition, similar to how the American Green Party is generally funded by the Republicans and Russia.

Edit: removed the colloquialism that seemed to be confusing people.

old list

is latest version available.

I don't think they meant that the list was outdated. "Big old" is an American English (mostly Southern IIRC) term, which means pretty big.

You got it, apologies for using a confusing colloquialism.
