you're on the side of injustice if you expect pressure groups and protesters to be perfect, while excusing the flaws of the government.

the amount of happiness i get every time i see "Dharmendra Pradhan resigns" on my fyp is just asdfghjkl

[slobblobglob]

about india, we are witnessing one of the largest youth protests in the past half decade. the police brutality has been horrifying. but as a reminder we also have other protests happening simultaneously across the nation. the ken batwa protest, the protest in uttarakhand against the cutting of trees, multiple protests against ai centres etc etc. they all need and deserve our support

to the indians, this is a fight that the dalits, the muslims, the queer people, the women, the poor, the kashmiris, the north easterners and others have been fighting for ages. it is time that the rest wake up and join as well. the resistance has always been here and it will go on

to the non-indians, please help amplify our voices as we work towards getting rid of our fascist government

i will try to make another post with links to news articles soon. thank you

[sxturn-to-mxrs]

to all the non-delhi residents/people who can't join the protest for xyz reason, who are feeling helpless and guilty and don't know what to do: spread the word.

no, seriously, spread the word. there is so much misinformation out there, partly due to the useless indian media channels who are calling protestors fighting for a chance to be heard "terrorists". they're saying that the protestors are committing brutality (like throwing stones) against the police when it is the opposite.

its a police using teargas and batons against teenagers, women and literal children. they're ripping the clothes of the women. people are badly injured. all because our corrupt coward "education" minister cannot take accountability for paper leak which caused over 20 deaths by suicide.

some are trying to derail the protests, calling the protestors "anti-national" and but you have to do your part in ensuring that this revolution isn't over until dharmendra pradhan resigns and the youth of india are heard and acknowledged. it will save the future of the students who are currently preparing/will prepare for similar exams.

spread the videos of the police brutality (save them if you can), write emails to the pmo, and share as much info as you can about the protest; how and why it is happening. speak up; online and also in real life, translate posts/videos, make your own. correct and educate people who are still against this movement. don't let this die out until our government finally listens to its citizens.

don't stop making noise.

[holyymoly]

DHARMENDRA, IT'S DONE BRO😭😭😭😭😭

So so proud of everyone who showed up, in whichever way they could, offline, online, monetarily and otherwise.

This is my country. This is my India.

JAI HIND 🇮🇳🙏

You know what I find kind of symbolic? The fact that students are now using the National Anthem as a shield against the Police Violence. Like.. during Independence this very anthem was used to protest against the colonizers and then it became a sort of a pride symbol for every citizen and now the very anthem drafted for PROTESTING colonisation is being used as a shield...

[vishakhas-stuff]

if the students are innocent, the education minister must resign.

if the students are antinational and terrorist adjacent, then home minister must resign.

either way kisi ko toh chaate padne wale h

few updates you guys need to know about what's happening as an aftermath of 20th july & still the continued protest-

• they've started detaining students liberally. if you're going to the protest or coming from it they're very likely to detain you (the police has spread it check points all across central delhi). you'll be denied entry by auto or even walk, they'll either try to scare you away or detain you. if you're coming from other state especially by railway you'll be asked what are you here for & be asked to prove it.

• the government has blocked 18 metro stations surrounding jantar mantar. for some reason they're also covering up janpath & other nearby metro stations. all entrances to jantar mantar have been closed off & a complete internet shutdown near jantar mantar.

• they are denying lawyers contact with their clients. they've also been denied entry in police station to speak to their clients, that inspector has apologized as of now & an internal investigation for his behaviour is said to have started.

• they're also making sure that the protesters have no access to food, water or electricity. last night electricity supply to janpath was cut off ++ the police are now stopping delivery men at check points & seizing food ordered by supporters from all across the country. they're also threatening restaurant owners against delivering food to the protest site.

• cafes & shops in connaught place have been given a legal notice to shut down by 6 (since many of them were providing free water & washroom services to protesters). even nearby hotels have denied room booking to doctors.

• many creators have been offered money to speak against the protest & start a hate campaign.

• we are under complete state surveillance. the police is using meta ai glasses to record the protesters, and is later running a facial recognition check on them.

anyways if you're still planning to go this weekend because no more office & let's be honest none of us will stop showing our support no matter how much they try to scare us, here are few things you should remember & the resource links in case you need any help.

(goverment voice) we need to protect the children from pornography so our plan is to remove their eyes so they would never see something so traumatic. if you are against removing children's eyes you are basically a pedophile

[enigma-the-mysterious]

Yes, of course, ask for all of the accountability from CJP, ask Sonam Wangchuk why he didn't choose the perfect platform and the perfect party to stage his protest, ask why a protest for NEET paper leaks dares to hold conversations about the privatisations and monopolisations under a handful of business families because of course every single issue exists in a vacuum, scrutinise every single person that arrives at the protest to show their solidarity, analyse the ulterior motives of Abhijeet Dipke, question why opposition leaders are showing up for the protest when the literal job of the opposition of any democracy is to hold a mirror to government's failures, extend your support to a protest against a government failure on the condition that only totally politically neutral people attend it with no ideological affiliations at all so that the movement remains "pure"

If even half of this energy had been spent in holding the government accountable, you know, the ones with the actual power to do anything, we would not be needing this protest in the first place

[dafliwali]

my favourite one liners from the cjp protest (part 1)

aapko protest me agenda dikh raha hai par cabinet me baitha genda nahi dikh raha

nobody funds me, i hate this corrupt government for free

asking your elected leaders for accountability. is that the bare minimum or princess treatment?

for a generation that suffers so much backpain, we sure do have a spine.

looks like the chai wala did not like the genz spilling the tea

abey jaldi resignation de kal panvel nikalna hai

[azalea-blooming]

you should care about kids because they’re people, btw. not because they’re “future adults” but because they are people right now and they deserve to be treated like people.

quotes that have been living rent free in your head recently!

"...in the end you can only be as knowledgeable as the resources available to you."

also this need no clarification but the the iconic iconic line by my queen Daenerys Targaryen :

"all men must die, but we are not men."

[dickgraysonmyrobin]

the lack of reaction about readcomiconline's death is the true indicator of how many people just do not read comics but participate in the comics fandom

who let this guy in here

[21anon12]

You know what? I'm gonna take this as an opportunity to ramble about piracy.

"Piracy is bad, yada yada."

Alright. We can agree on that.

But—and I'm sorry if this comes across as offensive—that position often comes from a place of privilege.

And not just economic privilege.

I live in a country where American comics are not always easy to find, and in many cases they're never translated or published at all.

Just to be clear, I'm not talking about some mythical "third-world country". I'm talking about a perfectly ordinary European country where the comics I like simply aren't considered profitable enough to distribute.

I remember digging through obscure websites back in 2006 just to get a glimpse of The New Teen Titans. It was a nightmare, but somehow I managed to read the whole thing anyway.

It took me seven years to get a legally published copy of Blackest Night: Titans. SEVEN. Thank God for piracy, because it gave me immediate access. Otherwise I would have been the only idiot trying to discuss Black Lanterns in 2016.

Why? Because Titans comics are considered niche here. Shops don't stock them. Publishers often don't translate them. And when they do, sometimes the translation is... let's politely call it "creative". (I'm still trying to recover from the translated version of Last Will and Testaments...) You wait years, pay more, and occasionally get a worse product. Wonderful.

The only reason Blackest Night: Titans was eventually published here, as far as I can tell, is that Blackest Night was such a massive crossover event that leaving out an entire tie-in would have created a noticeable hole in the collection.

And don't even get me started on the Wolfman/Pérez era. That only became legally accessible here in the 2010s.

So yes, this might come as a shock to some people, but piracy is not always about being cheap.

Sometimes it's about access—because access is not distributed equally.

If a comic is unavailable in your language, unavailable in your country, unavailable digitally, unavailable physically, and unavailable second-hand at anything resembling a reasonable price, then "just buy it" stops being a solution and starts being nothing more than a slogan.

And for many international readers, piracy is the reason they became comic fans in the first place.

Peace out and read comics.

If you can, buy them, too.

[imsorrybruce]

I will even go so far as to say that no, piracy is not, in fact, a bad thing. Lets consider who uses it:

1) people who are not financially capable of buying a piece of media. They wouldn't be paying anyway (though often times, when these people get financially stable enough to afford it they will buy the pieces of media that they pirated before and liked)

2) people who do not have access to the media due to living in a region where that media is not distributed. Think people in Europe who do not have any comics shops nearby, people in countries like Russia with heavy censorship of queer media. These people wouldn't be paying anyway

3) people who are after media that is no longer destributed, think games by companies that since stopped existing, tv shows that were deemed unpopular and canceled, obscure cartoons. These people wouldn't be paying anyway

4) people who are always trying to get something without paying/paying as little as possible. Chances are, they wouldn't be paying anyway

5) people who want to check out the media before deciding if they want to spend the money on it or not. They most likely will not pay for the media if they can't find a free sample

So what do we see? Most people who do this would not be paying anyway. Companies are not losing consumers to piracy, because most of the pirates weren't people who would be able to buy their product to begin with, or wouldn't be interested in buying it.

Moreover, piracy helps save media. There are countless shows and games and movies that would be lost media if not for piracy. For example, one of my favorite games since childhood: Paraworld. It came out in 2006. The dev company stopped existing in 2014. It's not on Steam, or other such platforms. You can only buy it second-hand, on disks, and there aren't lots of offers. The only reason I still have access to it, is piracy.

So yeah, piracy is not bad. It helps us preserve media and avoid censorship. Everyone say thank you to piracy

Remember when i said after they passed the Transgender Amendment Bill, they would come for your rights next?

It was a peaceful protest. Students (mind you, TEENAGERS) were purposefully locked inside jantar mantar. They did not panic. The police launched tear gas, beat them with lathis, and AK-47s at students with books and flowers in their hands. For people who have been living under a rock, or who live outside India, do you know what this protest was against?

Over an exam leak. Over a national exam leak which caused 2.2 million students to retake the test. At least 12 students commited suicide. And instead of taking responsibility?

They will come for you.
