Hindu vigilantes have long tried to stop the cow trade, often carried out by Muslims, but have become more extreme and flamboyant thanks to American social media platforms that reward them with large online followings.
Representatives from YouTube and Meta also told her they worried that removing hateful influencers would physically endanger the firms’ employees in India.
And yet these ultra-powerful mega-wealthy organizations did not raise the issue with the US gov or the Indian govt to ensure safety of their employees for adhering to corporate standards nor did they shut shop in India till the Modi govt guaranteed the safety of their staff. these SMs know modi needs them to spread his hate-filled agenda.
X/ twitter is partly owned by Islamic UAE, yet they let Hindu supremacists say the vilest Islamophobic comments, post vile acts of violence against Muslims. So much for Islamic ummah.
To this day, trying to get an Islamophobic a/c down on any of the SMs mentiond is an act of patience and oftentimes futility.
YouTube knows Modi would love to make hay out of them censoring Hindus. They’re like the evangelicals in that way. Always oppressed.

Unless you’re an insider, how could you possibly know this?
There isn’t a better example of clown world than this.
We gotta get rid of this whole religion thing, it’s making people do insane things.
This is fascism. It uses religion as a convenient part of their “culturally pure” state ideology. It’s a more basic sociological ingroup/outgroup reaction than anything to do with religion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindutva
The definition and the use of Hindutva and its relationship with Hinduism has been a part of several court cases in India. In 1966, the Chief Justice Gajendragadkar wrote for the Supreme Court of India in Yagnapurushdasji (AIR 1966 SC 1127), that “Hinduism is impossible to define”.[30][b] The court adopted Radhakrishnan’s submission that Hinduism is complex and “the theist and atheist, the sceptic and agnostic, may all be Hindus if they accept the Hindu system of culture and life”.
I just tried to get a definition for fascism but apparently that’s quite difficult to define also. It’s easy enough to get a feel for what the word ‘fascism’ is trying to describe though.
So next question is, are there some religions that are more sympathetic to, or more likely to bring about fascism?
Its been around for 10s of thousands of years.
Might be something more recent to blame.

No but the recent uptick is not due to any innovation of religion, it correlates better with advances in communications technology.

Gee, isn’t it great that Google is moving all their podcasts, music, tv, and movies to the flea market that is YouTube?
Let me guess, they’re going to tell me about the footage without showing me the footage.
Modern journalists suck.
I’m a vegan so I support abolishing cow farming, and Islam is also one of the most harmful religions.
Doing it because a different religion tells you to though, rather than because cows feel pain and we are abusing them, feels like it could become dangerous. We should do stuff because it’s right, not because someone else tells you to.
Lol why are people downvoting him?

The second clause doesn’t have any connection at all to the context of the article. The person who happen to be a Muslim is a victim in this article, not a perpetrator. It’s like saying, “hey this is a follower of a harmful religion. So he somehow deserve it.” And, it’s somehow ironic when the harmful act conducted by the perpetrator is by a person following a teaching of a certain religion, Hinduism in this case, but that religion is not even mentioned as harmful.
My take: There’s some kind of bias or phobia that can be interpreted from that statement.
By contrast, if the same statement is made based on a news article on ISIS terrorists, it would make sense and won’t get downvoted.
Yeah, it’s not like only muslims eat cows. Replace them with any other group and the vigilante would still after them for trading cows.
Vegan.
Or the thing about Islam being the most harmful religion.
