Like G*mergate, except from India and about Kashmir instead of videogames

Even a tiny comment like the one I made on Twitter a couple of days ago in response to the freakish aggression against journ*list Rana Ayyub attracted literally hundreds of trolls. A whole lot of Hindu nationalists (if these are real people, that is) are evidently okay with the Modi government’s violent power grab.

I’m not pretending to report on a political situation I understand only very dimly. But I’m on Twitter quite a bit, and as I read these comments I was startled to see how uncannily similar to the MAGA kind these trolls behave and sound. Just like the G*mergate ones, and the Pizzagate ones. US writers quite commonly catch a swarm of them, like a bout of the flu, when they challenge authoritarians not only in the Modi government but also the governments of Hungary, Poland, the government of Donald Trump or the hardline Brexiteers.

We are legion. We are Chud.

Are these pro-authoritarian trolls real people, and if so, how many are real and how many are fake? Are they centralized in some way, organized, and if so, where and how? Why are they so viciously defending the annexation of Kashmir on Twitter? My question was, again, what are the chances the Modi government will face sanctions from the US and the UK for their power grab? Here’s a few answers:

KASHMIRI PANDITS …WE WILL NOW WORK AS ISRAEL WORKS… A STICK ON THE BACK
