Let me guess. India will do great on that index!
putin style economy metrics
if the economy is doing like shit by global metrics, just come up with a different system where it’s not so bad
…with blackjack and hookers!
Infact, forget the democracy!
Forget the superpower!
Nothing says “free democracy” like refusing to listen to the opinions of others and changing the metrics until they match what you want them to say.
Specify those reasons right here and back up those claims.
They did:
In other words, creating your own ranking fuels your propaganda machine, wastes the time of people arguing in good faith, and gives a fig leaf for people who are already supporters.
I really had trouble understanding what that dude was trying to say
I was wondering why it got downvoted. Maybe I should have been more precise with my comment. But I didn’t think it could have been misinterpreted THAT much.
Well, I deleted it. It clearly ruffled too many feathers. But the commenter is right. I was making fun of Modi.
We've investigated ourselves and found proof that we're awesome!
Dude’s stylish
I literally looked up Nehru jackets the other day for the first time – Thanks Modi
It totally wouldn’t be biased!
We’ll make our own Democracy… with blackjack… and hookers.
You can’t fire me, 'cause I quit!
This sounds like it could turn into a “Democracy with Indian Characteristics” scenario. Or to put it another way: a slippery slope to becoming some form of dictatorship. First you start by denying indexes about freedom and democracy from other countries, then you eventually start claiming that your country is the most free country in the world and that everyone should look to you as a beacon of democracy and how things should be done while you turn into a hermit country (or at least attempt it).
All countries should do their own democracy index.
They ain’t got data for farmer suicides but ready for democracy index.
