The Elephant in the Hotel Room
26/04/2021 07:37 pmOn Friday I was pottering around the Trillion Trees nursery and buying some weeds to plant for the long weekend.
I did notice a tiny Tweet saying that there was a press conference from the State Premier. I figured it would have something to do with the Coronavirus but did not think any more of it.
I had my plans for the afternoon. Catching the bus to the train station, dropping into the shops next door and then catching a train to the city stopping on the way to visit a cafe.
( Plotting and planning )
Of course we are getting off lightly here compared to most of the world. Especially the disaster currently going on in India.
Hearing about what is going on there is like deja vu to USA last October when trump was running around the country holding his maskless mass rallies and boasting about the size of his crowds.
Nahrendra Modi not only did all that and more but in spite of seeing what has happened all over the world after large events went and allowed a once in 12 years Hindu religious festival to go ahead.
Trump ignored what happened in New York and then the whole USA became Covid Central. Modi then ignored what happened in the USA, like trump he claimed they had it all under control and now the whole country is coming to a standstill and the healthcare system is collapsing. Modi has his own personal private safety net but most other people don’t.
It turns out that he also has his own personal cult of trumPETS who sing his praises and go hounding those on social media who dare to say that their beloved Emperor has no clothes.
David Rowe’s cartoon has gone viral and the Modi mobsters are making the trumPETS look like a bunch of total slackers
It’s one thing living in a dictatorship where you have no choice about what incompetent malevolent despot is ruining the joint, but people keep voting for these rabble rousers who care more for the fleece than for the flock.
It's sadomasochism on steroids
