    I'm assuming this is some guy plastering his house with the King's picture - the sort of thing you'd expect in a monarchy rule, not democracy.

    We've had 45 presidents no? Is he leaving out 2 or did he say this during the 43rd? If he is leaving out, who are the 2 based ones?

    That price wouldn't even begin to cover it. Infrastructure is expensive at that quality. Engineers to maintain such infrastructure are also expensive. Content creators make a ton of money too. Their profits are much lower compared to peers - https://mannhowie.com/youtube-valuation

    Also, 22$/month gets you a family plan for 5 people so wtf are you talking about?

    I don't give 2 shits about YouTube, I use ad block where I can too. I'm just saying that people who complain about YouTube's anti-adblock stuff are being unrealistic, you can't fault them for trying to block people from stealing from them.

    Are you saying that the ads shouldn't be video ads but webpage ads, instead?

    It's their job.

    Yeah, exactly why they are enforcing anti-adblock rules...

    How do you propose YouTube should pay for infrastructure costs (servers, Internet etc), staff costs (engineers, designers, moderators) and the content creators?

    Coincidentally I'm on a train too and the whole train car is complaining about me furiously masturbating at the picture.

    Okay, I don't have a lot of confidence in this, but I assume the average American is actually pro-Israel? At least the swing "independent" voters?

    Like I know young people are pro-Palestine but those people probably wouldn't vote for Trump in any case and probably live in strongly blue states?

    I don't know what you are even arguing. My point is India is democratic and secular despite being flawed. Do you not agree with that? If you don't agree with that, why are you worried about the word "secular" being removed? How does it matter anyway?

    Your incident counting means nothing - India has 1.4B people. Obviously you can find more cases LMAO.

    My point is India is democratic and secular - and that's an achievement in South Asia (that's why compared to Pakistan). And that has made it more developed. So democracy and secularism are good ideals to fight for.

    If India is not better off than Pakistan and Bangladesh, might as well let BJP make it non secular like them? Why bother fighting it?
