Farming Hate and Division

Of course, social media is a place for division and hate. Rarely do you see anything else, sadly. One numpty MP decided unemployment was Rishi Sunak's fault - as if he hadn't spent enough.

She obviously knew she won't paying the national debt back in any fair sense. The same MP decided violence in India is all one sided against farmers.

Presumably one morning the Hindu hating PM of India got up and thought, right, which religion are most farmers - Hindu - let me make any farmer laws then.

No, he hates India - He's Anti-Hindu, Anti-Nationalist PM, so he thought, let me starve India.

Sorry for the sarcasm. But one Twitter person summed it up perfectly when I asked 'why are the 99% other farmers from India not protesting? After all 25-30% of Indian GDP is agrarian and I do recall seeing some farms in Tamil Nadu, and in Andhra, and Kerela.

The person replied, 'the farmers feel they will be worse off'. Perfect. Feel. So we are to run economic policy on feelings not on economics. Which made me realise, some people would rather be poor and feel happy than wealthier and feel they may not be happy with more money.

Of course, the problem is in a few Indian states, subsidies led to middlemen robbing farmers of their fair trade prices. It led to inefficient farming practices. In the 1700s, some British MPs want to romanticise that for political gain, children in Britain write letters (the height of radicalization for ideology and tantamount to child abuse). In contrast, India wants to move to the 21st century.

If you can cripple that part of India's economy, you can hold her back. Feed the farmers with misinformation, destroy the nation. Hold back the country.

Of course, India's problem is it's hard to fight emotional feeling drummed up by rabble-rousers who admit it is feelings of fear, with dry arguments about economics and law - trust me I have degrees in Law and in Economics and zero emotions left.

You always have to carry the people - with their hearts not just their minds.
