      When I say I’m a centrist that means for some stuff I’m liberal and for other I’m conservative

      Centrist isn’t someone who is not into politics. They classify themselves as “non politicals”

      You got the difference?

          I’m from india so I can tell my perspective only for my country

          I want

          1. the affirmative actions to be removed,
          2. laws to be made gender neutral,
          3. freebies to be removed (which is given to the uneducated low earning people because they are the votebank),
          4. to increase the funds in higher education govt institutions,
          5. DEI should be removed from job hirings,
          6. and there should be a test for civic sense for the ones who are applying for passport in india

            I have bad news for you brown guy, you are a middle ground between conservatives and fascists. Almost all of your takes are aggressive and repressive. People don’t work like that, we are all different and we should account for all diversity. You think “uneducated low earning people” should not get free shit but because they can be bribed. So you understand that desperate people would do anything, so why not help them? Why are they desperate? You remove the freebies but you keep the poverty.

            You can step into fascism when you realise that “removing DEI” it’s a lot of bureaucracy and wasted time. Bullets are much cheaper.

              I know it’s a mixed side. But I’m definitely not a fascist nor do I support fascism

              So you understand that desperate people would do anything, so why not help them?

              I don’t know if you don’t understand the situation but in india shit is complex. There have been interviews of people living in slums, they say they are making more children to get a little more money from the govt (from the scheme which was made for educational purposes of lower income households), some of them are regularly caught to be begging instead of doing some work (specially the ones who are fully fit and fine).

              You know why it’s like that? Because most of them got the bread and circus and they don’t want anything more.

              The govt doesn’t even care about the poor and handicapped people tbh, because they get less seats from the affirmative actions. The so called oppressed groups “STs/SCs” get it.

              Recently I gave an exam, the cutoff for general category is 94%ile but for ST it is 49%ile. Just look at the difference

              That’s why affirmative actions should be income based only for the ones who are in the BPL (below poverty line) list

            As I understand you, you’re in favor of abolishing quotas for SC/ST persons, for example. In view of the large and rising income inequality and wealth inequality across the Indian population (stats), would you be open to an ambitious ‘caste-blind’ social security system, financed by taxing the rich? Or to income-based educational support programs?

              What’s caste blind social security system?

              There should income based affirmative actions, for the ones who comes in BPL (below poverty line) list and for the specially abled people

              If more than half a century of affirmative actions wasn’t able to give jobs to certain communities, then it’s a skill issue not a society issue

              Casteism doesn’t exists except in some villages, left extremists would say otherwise

        It means your convictions are meaningless & you will become a tool of the Fascists eventually.
