> The Karnataka Assembly results must have shocked even those who had been seeing the writing on the wall for some time now. For, the defeat was so comprehensive and staggering.

> In India, an **election is largely decided by 10-15 per cent floating voters, mostly Hindus**, who exercise their electoral rights as per their understanding of the political scenario, performance of parties, et al. Being young, educated, urbane voters, they are largely expected to go the BJP way more often than not. But when they don’t, the impact is devastating for the saffron party, as in 2023 Karnataka, or as was the case in the 2009 Lok Sabha polls.

> The biggest, though the least deliberated upon, reason for the BJP’s electoral rout has been the **lack of any perceptible ideological difference** between the BJP and the Congress in Karnataka.

> Though many Left-‘liberal’ commentators would try to twist this verdict to project how hijab was a non-issue, the reality is just the opposite: The region has seen the rise of Islamist forces, with the **Hindutva activists targeted and killed/maimed by PFI terrorists** as the state looked the other way. The **murder of 32-year-old BJP youth-wing worker Praveen Nettaru** in the coastal district of Dakshina Kannada in July last year, for instance, sparked widespread outrage; it saw mass resignations by party workers and also the vehicle of state unit president Nalin Kumar Kateel was targeted.

> There are many instances of **callous indifference** — from the story of Meenakshamma, the mother of a BJP leader killed by PFI terrorists in 2015, who, as per a story by The Print in 2022, “collects plastic trash to eke out a living, lives in penury and is the sole caretaker of her grandson”, to Yashoda, whose son Prashanth Poojary was again hacked to death by PFI men in 2015, surviving on the “rent she receives from their flower shop — where her son was killed — and a widow pension of Rs 600”.

Not BJPtards or Theocrats or Alt-Right Nationalists. The Classical Fascists who think India needs an Auth corporatist state based on Class and not Caste or religion. Haven't met many Indian Fascists lately.

Germany is showing how the all-electric car plans may not be as rosy as it would seem. The European Union has said that it will phase out gas-powered cars by 2035. But now Germany has asked the EU to exempt cars powered by synthetic fuel. Italy has supported this request with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni arguing that phasing out gas-powered cars would put thousands of jobs at risk. Spain’s environmental transition minister has said that this is a disappointing request and that it could derail the plan. In fact, this did derail a vote that was scheduled for March 7. That vote was delayed on fears that Germany would abstain.

Radical College Professor Admits to ‘Politically’ Targeting Students … ‘Shut Down’ the ‘Religious and Right-Conservative Kids’ … ‘Hardcore Trumpers are Probably F**king Racist’ … ‘Do Not Vote for this Mother f**ker’
• Jeremy Tausch, Professor, Brooklyn College & Pratt Institute: “I’m in control. I have the authority and the depth of knowledge and experience…They’re kids and they oftentimes either don’t know any better or they’ve been influenced by their parents, and they never heard an alternate voice from a position of knowledge.”
• Tausch: “It’s my job to be middle of the road—to not be on one side or the other politically. But you know, it’s hard not to be like, ‘Look man these mother f**king [Trump] people, they are out for you. These people will f**king kill you.”
• Tausch: “I could say in my classroom, as forcefully as possible, ‘Do not vote for this mother f**ker [Trump] because you are voting for environmental destruction. Not just environmental destruction -- global destruction. That’s what your vote is for.’”
• Tausch: “If you support Trump, if you are one of the hardcore Trumpers, you are probably a f**king racist. Probably a racist. If you are MAGA, you know, you’re probably a f**king racist, and that is about 25 percent of the population of the United States.”
• Tausch: “The political right is going to f**king kill us. They are going to kill us.”
• Tausch: “So, I get to say [in the classroom], ‘Look, the GOP and Republicans do not believe in climate change, and that’s f**king dangerous.’”
• Tausch: “It’s hard for me to be politically apolitical in the classroom.”
[NEW YORK – Mar. 2, 2023] Project Veritas released a new video today exposing a radical college professor, Jeremy Tausch, who admits he discriminates against his students based on their political and religious beliefs.
Tausch said he is willing to silence students in his classroom that are not on the left:
Veritas Journalist: Do you ever just want to shut them [right-leaning students] down?
Tausch: I do.
Veritas Journalist: You do what?
Tausch: Shut them down.
Veritas Journalist: Who?
Tausch: The ones that are illogical.
Veritas Journalist: Which would be?
Tausch: The religious kids and potentially right-conservative kids…They don’t speak from fact, from point of fact, and so that is why it is easy to shut them down.
Veritas Journalist: So, you help influence, basically, to change their votes, right?
Tausch: I try.
Veritas Journalist: You try?
Tausch: I try.
Veritas Journalist: And then you said that you influence them to be more socialist?
Tausch: Yeah. Yep.
The Brooklyn College and Pratt Institute professor went on to brag about the power he exerts in his classroom.
“I’m in control. I have the authority and the depth of knowledge and experience…They’re kids and they oftentimes either don’t know any better or they’ve been influenced by their parents, and they never heard an alternate voice from a position of knowledge,” Tausch said.
“It’s hard for me to be politically apolitical in the classroom,” he said.
Tausch not only attempts to change how his students vote, but he also reminds them just how evil he believes Trump supporters are.
“It’s my job to be the middle of the road and to not be on one side or the other politically. But you know, it’s hard not to be like, ‘Look at these f**king [Trump] people. They are out for you. These people will f**king kill you,” Tausch said.
“I could say in my classroom, as forcefully as possible, ‘Do not vote for this mother f**ker [Trump] because you are voting for environmental destruction. Not just environmental destruction -- global destruction. That’s what your vote is for,’” he said.
“If you support Trump, if you are one of the hardcore Trumpers, you are probably a f**king racist. Probably a racist. If you are MAGA, you know, you’re probably a f**king racist, and that is about 25 percent of the population of the United States.”
The radical professor says that Trump supporters are not the only dangerous people that his students should worry about. He believes the entire Republican Party is a problem for society.
“The political right is going to f**king kill us. They are going to kill us,” he said.
“So, I get to say [in the classroom], ‘Look, the GOP and Republicans do not believe in climate change, and that’s f**king dangerous.’”
