Why did USAID sponsor the 70-NGO consortium that directly threatened newly elected 2019 President Zelensky in Ukraine with 25 "Red Lines Not To Be Crossed" by his new government, ensuring USAID grantees controlled virtually every facet of how Ukraine could run its own country?

im 14 year old rn, so ill be eligible to vote for the next elections, so can you suggest some unbiased sources to learn more about the agendas of all parties from? I keep hearing that x newspaper is bought out by bjp, y channel is bought out by congress, etc, so where do you go if you want authentic, real and true sources that record the good, bad and ugly of every party?

So far your only option is independent media- Newslaundry, NewsMinute, The Wire, etc.....some have a clear liberal bent, but what they do is actual on the ground investigations. These media are funded wholly by the subscribers, and have done some excellent reporting despite the 'mainstream" media being the most profitable.

If you are looking for opinion type reporting or video essay types, you have Ravish Kumar in Hindi. Youtube might actually be your saviour when it comes to news.

For rural news and essays, you have P Sainath's PARI (People's Archive of Rural India), which does interviews with people in very less reported areas of India, giving you a sense of their lives.

What I can give you as a way to escape the mainstream is that- you need to be critical of any news you recieve without a verifiable primary source. Learning to differentiate between opinions, versus news articles that are meant to evoke a certain emotion in you is a skill you will need to work on yourself.

Remember, none of us are immune to propaganda. Its just how you make sense of what you see and read.

lionews mods:

Do you ever feel bad — or partially responsible — for some of the drama that happens on this blog?

Once or twice. It’s been a while though.

However, we do our best to not get too connected or invested into the current topics because it can lead to impartial decisions or posts going through.

I just turned 18 and I was never into the political aspect of India and I'm not sure if I should be because everything is a mess and so confusing.

My parents are BJP supporters, being of the Scheduled Caste and we live in an urban area. I acknowledge the development BJP has done for India in the last years but im not well educated on the atrocities they've committed. I'm aware of their speeches being incredibly right-leaning and they create a sense of unease in communities.

And I sense that most people my age are aligned with Congress but I'm not sure why seeing that their urge to support Congress only comes from a feeling to remove Modi. I'm not sure how good a Congress govt could be, when they're aligning themselves with TMC which is akined to BJP.

I've heard Congress got a lot of minorities votes but also seeing that theyre promising 1L to Muslim women, if they win dosent seem like a good use of tax money.

I know India is far away from even getting close to the development we need, such as equal marriage opportunities, true secularism, abolishment of caste system and everything. But since there isn't a party/alliance in India that truly aligns itself with my views, I can't help but be stuck in a limbo between both the parties and feel helpless.

Do you think it's okay for a person to not be into politics in India, it's not something I want to concern myself with atm, but I'm afraid when I do start getting involved it might be too late.

Sorry, this was sort of a rant instead of an ask sjdhdh

I just wanted to get an opinion on how other people may view my thinking atp

One word of advice: Don't align yourself with parties. Develop your own worldview first, make it in such a way that you are ready to accept data and information in a way where you can analyse and create meaning for yourself. Have some non negotiable principles for yourself- don't forget humanity and compassion.

No party will ever have the ideology that 100% aligns to your worldview, hell, I voted against my own principles this election.

Also Congress isn't promising 1L to just Muslim women, its for ALL women. They're proposing a kind of Universal Basic Income to help try and bridge the MASSIVE inequalities in this country. That's why they're increasing the wealth tax.

But now that the elections are over, it doesn't really look like EVERYTHING they propose will go through. But our Parliament and the discussions in it will at least have livelier discussions and better viewpoints.

Anyway- whatever you do- work from grassroots. Join organisations that do work on that level, political parties (with maybe the exception of AAP) don't usually do this work. Gain a wealth of experience talking to your fellow citizens, and you will realise the complexity of our society.

Steven do you know what happened to Francis? Is he sick? (@ask-themilkman hasn't been online for a few days so I thought maybe you'd know..)

“Of course, if anything serious happens to him, give me a heads up. That would be appreciated.”

//I don’t know them that well so I kinda just assumed that they were either taking a break or busy with work. Maybe you could ask them about it
