The original (fairly small) cockroach protests were about the Supreme Court Chief Justice calling unemployed people 'cockroaches'. He apologised, but it led to the formation of a satirical group called 'Cockroach Janata Party' (Janata = People, and a reference to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party).

The first big protest the CJP was involved in was about the National Testing Agency (which conducts many university entrance tests) f***ing up repeatedly and leaking question papers. Following those protests the union Education Minister resigned.

The current protests are against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar removing millions of voters from the electoral rolls. At first he was doing it 'legally', by arguing that these records had insufficient documentation / spelling mistakes / mismatches (more likely to happen for poorer / rural people, who are also less likely to vote for the BJP) but then it was revealed that he was doing this behind the backs of the two other election commissioners (so against the legally binding majority opinion) and that he had requested a popular civil servant to contest for the BJP (that guy refused).

That was over exam fraud. The education minister resigned which was the goal so that protest ended. This protest was started by both the federal opposition party and the roach protestors on Sept 24.

So jot that down

Ah, I understand now. Although some things are not directly related to sanctions, but rather to the imposition of the right wing in Brazil; in Spain due to the housing crisis; Germany with the new law that forces young people to do military service... What I won't deny is that the US wants to make Latin America its spoils. In Europe, I suppose it's the problems of budget cuts themselves because they want to create their own single army for the EU. We live in dark times, but the tweet is a good meme 💅🏽.

Wait, my brain just rewired, and they're actually right, at least about the cuts to create the army because it all started with that idiot Trump, threatening Denmark with taking away Greenland, and the Iran war, and the genocide in Gaza... The meme does have some truth to it, huh. Milei, imposed by the US and Israhell, is cutting the subsidies that should be given to universities... In short, they are not wrong 🤯.

Thanks for replying.

Israel is doing America’s bidding, not the other way around. They are entirely dependent on US aid for their security and economy, how could they not be a puppet?

Idk what to tell you, but the US has been a rogue terrorist state for decades now as well
