Peoples satisfaction isnt a metric of democracy, are a lot of people happy with chinas government? Maybe, minorities certainly arent tho But the reason its undemocratic is that there isnt really anything to challenge the CCP or its policies, and dissent is punished and censored, people have historically been happy under monarchs, but doesnt make them democratic..

Thanks for ur perspective, i think they r fair points, but you are giving up a lot of personal liberty and freedom of expression if you are OK with systems of something like PRC, but i suppose that can be classified as a choice However I think that the censorship that goes around such countries also makes it harder for us to know anything other than for example China might want to show us, we dont really have much idea of how internal dynamics work there and if u choose to believe personal testimonies its not pretty…
Lemmy politics i find a bit confusing and maybe i dont understand it very well but all forms of black and white communism /marxism-leninism always seemed to have lead to totalitarian states.. like correct me if wrong, its fair and completely normal to say that whatever the west amd especially countries like USA an UK are bullshit and need to dismantled atleast large parts of it.. but i dont understand why they jump instantly to models of china and Russia.. like i said maybe i dont understand it well enough..
The cloud seeding was just a government stunt, they were already told it wasnt going to work by IIT professors themselves but they went ahead and wasted 3.2cr of tax money cuz why not? It also would only last a few days anyway as the core causes of pollution remain unaddressed
The government itself straight up denies and even allowed things like firecrackers which made the AQI get even worse than it normally wud (not saying firecrackers are the main cause, but it definitely made it much worse), the gov denies its even an issue and is busy campaigning while the citizens they rule over are having insane problems with reports suggesting everyhousehold suffers from some sort of an issue directly attributed to air pollution
India post 2014 tbh is just a great example of how to cosplay as a democracy just enough that the world doesnt raise an eyebrow but at home minorities (and mind you its not just muslims, it includes christians and even lower caste hindus) continuously harrassed and the income gap becoming wider than under the british rule..
All good except the part “new delhi was trying”, nopes they are not, they r just spraying water on aqi sensors and beating up protestors, thats what happens when u elects fascist religious fanatics to run the capital of one of the most complex countries in the world..
You have ascended the mortal plane by then
Amendments welcome! I suppose those who argue in universities are even smaller brained… They should appreciate the impartial unbiased and thoroughly investigated academic rigor of youtube comments!
