Ugh. Religious people are fucking trash and should go to heaven as soon as possible. Christmas isn’t even Yahweh-ist. They just inserted themselves into older traditions and stories. Fucking freaks.

And fascists using religious extremists as shock troops aren’t limited to the US. And not only Modi: Putin does it too, as did Franco back in the day.

Yeah I was gonna say “I wonder why the Torygraph is suddenly paying attention to events in India…”

The far right is claiming Christmas as the latest family values and traditions thing to fight over. It seems they conveniently leave out that the part of being friendly to foreigners and the wealthy being generous to the poor.

Sounds like India is going to hell just like the USA.

is going?

One of the first thing they did once the British left the region was start a religious war among themselves.

Pakistan, India, Bangladesh are all born out of religious extremism.

And surprise surprise, all of them are shit for minorities.

You’re probably right; I just wonder if they had a (slightly) nicer phase some time before 2016.

India started in Hell. They are going to Cocytus with the three headed Satan chewing on Modi’s face.

Oh no, a religious ethnofascist state is hostile to different religions… To the surprise of no one.

Post it on Twitter and make it a high tending topic. Then make sure someone on Fox News talks about this War-On-Christmas and demand Trump do something about it.
If he plays down the incident and do nothing, it’ll piss off a lot of people who voted for him. If he does something, it’ll piss off the Indian government.

MAGAs next group to demonize will be Indian immigrants, even legal ones. This will help rile them up. Trump is already attacking Nigeria for their alleged attacks on Christians.

This video on reddit got severely downvoted by the billion brigade, as is tradition for all online discussion that are critical of Indian Hindu extremism.

Well Indian right wing is so illogical, in this week they rallied support and fake internet activism about the gruesome mob lynching of a hindu man in Bangladesh. Calling out the religious violence and muslim extermists not supporting principles of religious freedom and secularism and rightfully so. But on the other hand, they are doing the same to the christian minorities in India. So hypocritical in their approach.

We should just ship all the religious crazies from every country off to go live in Antarctica. Don’t worry, their gods will protect them.
