      ikr, embarrassing. corporate propaganda works i guess.

      i do wonder about the sampling bias. usually these surveys bias towards urban college educated top 25% upper caste people, they should ask lowest income quartile.

        The sampling bias makes sense actually… I bet it’s even more of a thing in India than most places.

    Problem is, in several of these countries half the people are unhappy with a lurch towards fascism, while the other half are unhappy their country is not fascist enough.

    Which is actually a good thing. When people are aware that their system is screwed, there’s a room for growth. As an Indian, all I can see is nothing but grim future for ourselves. Maybe we’ll experience the most extreme forms of late-stage capitalism, maybe our country might break, maybe there could be a genocide. I hope that the syndicalist movement grows more powerful - perhaps the South would be a proper pocket for leftist movement?

      For sure, people becoming aware that there is a problem with their governance is the first step towards actually doing something about it.
