sdfaasdf··on India's iconic Ambassador car brand is sold to Peugeot
... and this is supposed to be good, why ? Because the WASPs brainwash us into thinking so ? Because it pays good money ?

The systems we live under are barely different from feudal systems from Europe. Now we just get blamed for all the shit, because you know.. "democracy".

Give someone a toothpick to fight against those wielding guns, and call it even - that is democracy.

Has Peugeot lost its mind ? This is like buying the brand name of TVS XL 100 or Kinetic Luna. The French must be drunk over after the Dassault rip-off they pulled off.

> paid software dev setup, it's all abusive business bullshit these days.

Care to elaborate ?

You have to know "design patterns" they said. You have to know Java they said.... and then I knew I was in the world of "professional" software. Sigh.

Take a guess. China, India had similar GDP per-capita figures in late 70s (Korea was poorer at one point). India never suffered from war and dictatorial madness like Korea and China, yet today India has < 1/5 GDP of China, and about ~< 2x the GDP of S.Korea (with 10-20x the population).

All this for what ? Some anti-colonial revolution ? Nope. India has almost completely ignored everything Indian, if not actively tried to destroy its traditions/languages/cultures and has ran after who ever would care to smooch over its "elite". India is as much a British colony today (if not more) than it ever was.
