So, not only do we skim through, it turns out fanatics go one step more and automatically forward the discussions even when it speaks against their own interests. I don't think they forward it because they want their audience to get a balanced opinion, but it is sheer laziness.
Earlier this morning, I blogged about Narendra Modi. Not to praise the saffron robed bachelor, but otherwise. Not the first time I am critiquing Modi in my blog either.
Blogger automatically tweets the title of my posts, along with hashtags for the labels. That tweet of my post got re-tweeted:
A most suitable boy? Not Narendra #Modi! http://t.co/zfREAOElAr (blog) #sen #namo #bhagwati #gujaratThe re-tweets are by "Proud Hindu" and "Arya Hindu." Their Twitter names make clear what their intentions are, right?

It is bizarre that the old British Raj is transforming into some kind nationalism based on religious fanaticism.
- Pakistan: you need me to explain this, really?
- Sri Lanka: still recovering
- Burma: Buddhist monks are leading the battle to drive out the Muslims. Yes, Buddhist monks! Their leader's pet name? The Buddhist bin Laden!
- When it seemed like India had recovered from the Khalistan struggles, the BJP rose up just in time
Twitter makes it easier for all the below-the-belt discussions. Well, no discussions really. It is all flame-throwing. And jingoism. Like the tweet below:
" Every punishment from God is pure justice and every blessing from Him is pure grace. " OM #NAMO NARAYANAYA !!

Even their own gods cannot save these morons!
