there is a also a very strong anti india sentiment on twitter / x just search for #india or look at the comments of posts made by people like vivek ramaswamy , nikki haley, and any other politician and you ll see it. I wonder if this is some kinda state sponsored campaign for objectives that are not clear to me

I suppose it's possible but I think the more basic answer is that there's been a huge influx of Indians into the west recently i.e. find an example historically where people don't end up fighting in such situations.

      By being sarcastic, I'm as bad as a lying propagandist? That seems pretty extreme.

A lot of hateful content is boosted by Russian bots, there were also instances of bot accounts that went silent with Iran internet blackout. Another example are conspiracy theory content, and some far right channels - like the case of Tenet Media being funded by Russia. This is the reality we're dealing with, a constant undermining flow of lies and hate to destabilize western democracies. The result is in sight, and will only get worse because one of the consequences is that these account gradually give permission to be racist, xenophobic, etc. And LLMs are making this worse. Of course that there's a sentiment that comes with migrants for example, but it's the disinformation that turns up a notch and blows it out of proportion. At some point comments on social media will have to be disabled.

I think it might be related to support disrupting the US work visa process somehow. Like the strange "actually Indians" meme on Reddit etc.

    Dunno it felt out of place and forced. Just a feeling I have no data.

I bet there are many well-moneyed interests that would benefit from discord and conflicts in the Western society writ large. A worldwide social network is subject to the worldwide political pressures, like any other media would be.

In a time of rising anti-immigration and anti-foreigner sentiment across the world, you are shocked by anti-india comments? > I wonder if this is some kinda state sponsored campaign for objectives that are not clear to me Or musk got rid of the censors on twitter ( many of whom were of indian origin ) and now people are free to express themselves?
