I sure do regret going on the internet today.
Fucked up headline out of India? Checks article Yep, UP. Dunno if that’s confirmation bias, or if the place really is that bad, though.
Idk if it’s still the case but there used to be a guy that would post here all the time about terrible stories coming out of there which lead to at least a little confirmation bias among people. Especially since it was during the great Reddit exit.
Yeah, he got banned for being racist. Which is weird, because I’m pretty sure he was Indian himself. Maybe just plain “bigoted” would be more accurate, because he also posted a lot of anti-Islamic stuff.
He also got banned from !world@lemmy.world for the reason “Probably the most violations I have ever seen”, which made me chuckle. It’s not wrong, though.
That’s incredible. I always did get a bad vibe from him even when he wasn’t being outright terrible
There are 240 million people there (almost double the next most populous state) and it is one of the poorest states in the country. So it’s not confirmation bias; just a whole lot of really fucking poor people who do not have great access to basic education.
Well that’s fucked.
