Do Dhruv Rathee's far-reaching social media campaigns work?
Massive respect for the guy for doing all he can but can his social media campaigns, with their millions of views, outperform those of the BJP?
As of today, Maharashtra is f*cked. There hasn't been a clearer mandate given to the BJP despite their grossly ineffective leadership. Dhruv Rathee's 'Mission Swaraj' campaign which tried to sway the election direction in another way (and even Aditya Thackeray endorsement) didn't seem to work at all. That begs the question: do these videos and posts even reach the voters that need to see them?
There is no doubt that the BJP was dealt a blow in the Lok Sabha chunav but how much of that can be roughly attributed to Dhruv? And moving on from there, Dhruv and similar influencers seriously need to be made more popular amongst the vast majority. Rural Maharashtra decided the election, and if you asked any social media user from those areas if they knew who Dhruv Rathee was, they would reply no. They would be able to name a dozen instagram inflencers and gaming streamers but wouldn't know Dhruv Rathee. This has to change but how?

I'm a (savarna) communist, and the opportunist ambedkarites are hitlerites wanting to oppress us.
Hello people! I'm a meritorious savarna communist. The ambedkarites don't know how to dismantle power, some of them are hitlerites wanting to oppress us savarnas. I'm better because I truly know how to dismantle power in this country. It's by defeating the bourgeoisies and the proletariats taking over all of the means of production. But, these ambedkarites want to be in power and become the new oppressors. The current government, which is the savarna government is really oppressing me a lot, I have to deal with a lot of things like studying very hard under my AC/cooler on my table desk in my room and in coachings while preparing for exams, and scoring good marks in exams meritoriously. Then, I have to take a lot of effort to learn some skills from the high speed internet and elite institutions to get a job. Oh and then also make fun of ambedkarites and the lower caste people who he converted into buddhists, in my savarna communist circle, it's very important and very fun. It's important to make fun of them as we should discourage idealism. No that's not casteism, do you know I'm so anti caste I have read a lot of savarna authors on caste. Obviously I didn't seriously read babasaheb because he was an idealist opportunist.
What do you mean his idealism has brought more change than the praxis of savarna communists? Uhh, the communists were revisionists or not real communists. But you know we're the most anti revisionist and true marxists. We're are going to bring a change. He was an idealist so his followers are anti revolutionary. Wait, you're giving the example of dalit panthers against this, don't you know that some of its members participated in bourgeois elections, that's how these organizations end up. I'm gonna pretend I absolutely don't know that it happens with literally all the organizations no matter how good it is. They redefined dalits in their manifesto and called the working people and women as dalits along with SC/STs and the other religious minorities, and then said the dalits must own the means of productions become the rulers. That's such a weird definition, I have a problem getting called a dalit as a working person. I have a problem with these dalits taking over. But I'm okay if you call us proletariats and say that all proletariats must own the means of productions and establish the dictatorship of the proletariats, then I totally agree with you, that's the truest marxism.
Some of the ambedkarites want to oppress us savarnas. That's very wrong. The oppressors will be replaced, I'm gonna pretend I don't realize that the majority of the population will become the owners of means of production and it will become a people's democracy. Instead we should have the dictatorship of the proletariats, where the majority which is the working class owns the means of productions. What do you mean they meant it the same way and they were also marxist? No, They were only revisionists. Some ambedkarites who claim to be marxist said that they want to put the savarnas in the labor camps. It really pissed me off. What do you mean do I consider myself as a savarna to them? Yes I'm anti caste, but they're very opportunist really. They very much rely on identity politics. I really feel oppressed by imagining a dalit oppressing me. They're such hitlerites, they don't understand marxism at all, because it's not exactly according to our marxist strain that we want. I'm gonna tell them to read a book so that they can learn and feel belittled.
I mean yeah they face actual oppression and exploitation in real life and we don't face that, and it impacts their life since their birth till their death, but we're honestly very oppressed by being told that we will be oppressed. It's very oppressing to imagine that we will be oppressed in the labor camps by dalits. What do you mean you were kidding? You don't deserve to have an opinion. Please shut up. You're a hitlerite. You're a counter revolutionary. You're an opportunist. I respect

aesthetics. Only the few are allowed to be free for Nietzsche, as most people he believe cannot ever become true artist.
However, Nietzsche’s aesthetics are not without danger. After World War II, Nietzsche’s philosophy was rehabilitated by existentialist, individualist, and leftist interpretations, notably through figures like Walter Kaufmann and Michel Foucault. These readings are perhaps the most familiar in the Anglo-American world today. Yet Nietzsche was also a racial eugenicist and a general racist, believing that those unable to overcome their weaknesses should perish. The aestheticization of the world, so central to Nietzsche’s thought, also forms the core of fascist ideology. It is no surprise, then, that many fascists drew inspiration from Nietzsche. In my opinion, their interpretation of Nietzsche is no more "wrong" or "right" than those of Kaufmann or Foucault.

How do you make sense of BJP winning the Haryana and Maharashtra elections?
Pretty much everyone across the political spectrum is shocked by the results at these two states, especially after the Lok Sabha results.
There seemed to be a genuine air of resentment against the BJP. I understand that people vote differently at the state and centre, but it's still hard to make sense of. I haven't read any good analysis on this yet. The rigged election or communal campaigning narrative seems too simplistic. It didn't work for them at the LS elections.
How do you make sense of what happened?

babasaheb but I don't like you.
>! Heyy, it's your favorite opportunist, Epic. This post is satire. Also, I was banned from guftagoo because I showed some savarna commie comments there and made fun of them. It's really funny to see you people get pissed by some of my comments and feel oppressed just because of it like the labor camp one. Some of y'all literally called me a hitlerite, really funny. And then you will tell me to not have an opinion and keep shut because of it like I don't face greater and real oppression irl because of my caste. My caste has impacted my life from birth, and well it's only fair to make you phonies feel a little fraction of it. Seems like it ain't that fun feeling oppressed huh? Well, not everyone who is born a savarna is like that, there are a very few savarna born people by my side and I'm glad they understand and support me unlike the savarna communists (savarna communists doesn't necessarily mean savarna born). My dear savarna communists, I really like it when you feel oppressed. some of you savarna revolutionaries call it schizoposting, that's a cool name. Someone told me no one reads my post and I should stop my crap, well I can look at the stats and let me assure that it's not true. To give you an estimate, nearly 135+ people hit the upvote button and 25-28 people hit the downvote button on an average on these posts, I'm glad for your support haha. Am I gonna post more? Who knows. Some of you already want my account to be deleted, unsurprisingly glad to know, that my posts are working. Alright, that's all. !<

a comment i wrote on nietzsche, fascism, marx and hegel. Thought this sub might enjoy it as i saw a post mentioning nietzsche and fascism few days ago
I think the fundamental difference between Arthur Schopenhauer and Hegel (subsequently Nietzsche and Marx) lies in the contrast between aesthetics and reason, as well as their approach to the problem of freedom.
Hegel adopted the categorical development of reason from Kant and his Critique of Pure Reason. For Kant, categories structure reality, but for Hegel, they are reality itself. Hegel believed this categorical development is embodied within reality, making philosophy's task not about discovering a world devoid of meaning, but the opposite: understanding a world saturated with meaning. Reality, for Hegel, is grounded in a fundamental reason—a billiard ball, for instance, does not explode randomly when hit by another. This reason works immanently within itself, becoming progressively more determined and free, a process showed in human history. For Hegel, freedom is not arbitrary nor valued merely because he feels like it; it is an inherent part of reality itself. This freedom can only be achived for Hegel in the state, not any type of state, but one which guarantees the right to freedom for everyone, as freedom exists in the community (spirit) for Hegel, and not just in mere individual.
Marx adopts Hegel’s idea that humans are fundamentally free and can be nothing but free. For Marx, too, all of history is humanity striving to realize itself and its potentialities. However, he adds his theories about technological progress, the relationship between the means of production and class, and the material conditions of society. While Hegel thought true freedom could be achieved within the state, Marx vehemently disagreed, believing that both the state and class structures must be abolished for humanity to attain true freedom. He argued that this would happen inevitably, driven by the contradictions within the current relations of production. By the way in Das Kapital, Marx’s analysis of capitalism shows Hegelian influence: he begins with a basic category (the commodity) and builds a conceptual edifice to reveal the contradictions inherent in capitalism.
Arthur Schopenhauer, on the other hand, focused on the aesthetic aspects of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason, where space and time are representations of something more fundamental. Schopenhauer identified this underlying reality as the Will—something fundamentally irrational. For him, the best representation of the Will is not categorical; in fact, he largely dismisses Kant’s categories. Instead, the Will is best apprehended through intuition in space and time. Schopenhauer believed that great individuals were not armchair philosophers but artists, as artists best represent the Will in its Platonic forms in space and time, as they have inuition for space and time. Among them, musicians stand out because they express the Will in its purest form—through time. For Schopenhauer, art provides humanity’s only solace, momentarily liberating us from the blind striving of the Will and allowing us to appreciate pure beauty. In those moments, art makes us free.
Nietzsche takes this concept of the Will but radically reinterprets it. The Will to Power becomes Nietzsche’s central concept, his "Achilles’ heel," as he describes it in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The Will is not merely a blind, starving drive for existence—it is a striving for power. The world does not seek mere survival; it seeks power, even at the cost of self-destruction. This frenzy, this madness—like Captain Ahab’s pursuit of Moby Dick—is, for Nietzsche, what makes life most vital and alive. For Nietzsche, too, it is the artist who best embodies this Will. The artist reveals the eternal becoming, the perpetual recurrence of that becoming, and encourages us to affirm the Will, becoming, and life itself. Existence is not affirmed in cold, logical reflection within a room but rather in the warm sun, among flowers and rivers. It is affirmed in Greek tragedy, in art, in

Our government. Their government.
Our government. Their government.
I feel equally sorry for all the right winger BJP fans who felt that once 'their' government was in power, both a litre of petrol and the US Dollar would become ₹35, China will vacate our land, Vivek Agnihotri will win an Oscar, Indian Ayurveda practitioners will be awarded the Nobel in medicine, the Indian passport will be the most powerful piece of paper in the world, and the American President will end his speeches with JSR from the very next day as I do for those leftist liberals who fervently believe that once 'their' government is in power, hate will stop, the media will be free, the police will protect you and side with the law, the farmers will stop killing themselves, children will be fed and educated, Naxals will enter a float in the Republic Day parade where they'll dress up in costumes and present their 'traditional dance form' for the visiting dignitary, Kasmiri terrorists will sing Sare Jahaan Se Achha in the UN, your Gujarati Jain neighbour will invite you for Iftaar, and the chief justice will be fair, fearless, and impartial not just in oration but in actual action & deeds.
The eternal truth is that throughout history, at least in India, only the rulers have changed. Never the rules. Why do you think your own times or generation should be the exception?
So, what's the solution? It is this: true democracy. In a true democracy, the citizens never stop asking questions. They never stop holding those in power accountable. They never stop demanding a better society. They don't let up on pushing their government to fulfill the promises they made. They never worship at the altar of their leader. They don't give their leaders a free pass. They don't behave like cultists. They don't give excuses on behalf of their leaders. They don't become sycophants and apologists for the government and its leaders. They don't rest. Regardless of who or which government or party is in power. Because in a true democracy, the citizens know that every politician, every elected leader, every bureaucrat, every government official is in fact in power, and the citizens are the opposition. The political landscape isn't divided into your party v/s my party, but all parties v/s Indians. The day we recognise that, India will win. When the politicians say, 'Ek hain to safe hain!' they mean them v/s us. We citizens must also internalise the slogan. But in our case, we must look at all Indian citizens as one, against the ruling class. Truly, Ek hain to safe hain.
The price of democracy, of freedom itself, is eternal vigilance. Don't forget that.
