Richard Spencer on India and Pakistan. Not sure if I agree. Pakistan is Muslim, while India´s BJP government is widely seen as "brown MAGA". Note also that one of them supports Israel, while the other doesn´t. So why should there be a total collapse of idealism (?) on social media in the event of a Indian-Pakistani war? It may not be as important to the keybord warriors and real activists as Israel-Palestine or Ukraine, but it´s way above, say, Sudan...
>>>If India and Pakistan pop off, we are about to witness a total collapse of idealism in the mainstream media and on socials. >>>Ukraine is a plucky, small country fighting against a brutal empire. The clash evokes memories of the Cold War and even the Second World War. Sympathy for Ukraine largely derives from the fact that the country is White, but the Palestinians and Israelis are also nations into which millions of people invest intense emotion. >>>No one really cares who wins and who loses in India vs. Pakistan, outside of people residing in those countries—and maybe not even them! Both nations are equally annoying, and most will view the war as a bloody conflict between rival IT departments.
