Culturally, the average person here in India is absolutely clueless about what freedom is. The idea of small government is non-existent in the minds of people.

Based on hundreds of conversations with my red state friends, attitudes are very different. You may be right, but the comparison is missing many key details.
- kamaal 5y agoPeople who are obese enough to not take take stairs but elevators cant fight revolutions by definition. That is why they have elections, and one way or other democracy fixes most of these problems. Even if the fix is not perfect, or entirely acceptable to everyone. Revolutions are just totally a different thing altogether and you need way more than milk and egg prices going up, or your favorite politician not getting elected to happen.
- willcipriano 5y agoWorkers in India have it rough, the concept of releasing letters[0] is quite offensive to my western ear. You give me permission to leave? With H1B it's not much better in the US, lets say your job is taking advantage of you, working you 80 hour weeks, one day you decide that you want to go to your daughters big soccer game and they fire you for it. Find a new job in 30 days (?) or move out of the country. Children in the workhouses during industrial revolution had more mobility. Absolutely bonkers. Clearly designed to be explotative. My Indian peers have been as good as my western ones on average. I understand the motivations, but you guys really don't have to put up with this. If anyone should revolt it's them.
