Aw you’re sweet… didn’t warrant the “need a life” but thank you for looking out. Good luck with the millions.

But since you want to talk about huggable talks, lets have them

“Frankly I think India needs a class revolution badly. The rich shit on the poor too much in India..the mockery, the arrogance. its high time indians servants revolt and bash some heads.”

Have you ever been to India? I lived there during Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid riots … I saw someone being cut with a sword. I don’t think you understand the mass of death there will be if there is ever such a revolution.

When I was even younger in the 80s, my dad used to work in Punjab back when the government’s policies against the Sikhs resulted in non-Punjabis becoming easy targets.

You want to talk revolution based on the texts you read lets stick to Marx vs Bohm Bawerk and not talk about things you seem to have scant idea of.

Hip hop revolutions? Do you realize that there is a version of Hip Hop in India …tribal music and folk tales are a primary medium of social messages for the Naxalites. Gaddar walked through 2000 villages to spread the same message you want to spread…I don’t want to talk about the consequences but then again…

It is hard to explain it to someone who seems to cut and paste philosophical ideas without any cultural congruence.

If people act “scared” it is because anytime a “revolution” happens in India…millions don’t get to feed their kids that day – if they are lucky to be alive at the end of it.

Stick to your online poker rooms and coffee table Marxism for a while before you mock people who do realize the consequences of loose words in the powder keg of a society.

While this is an irrelevant yet amusing segue… if you are who you say you are… that was a lame story… what does 666 have to do with a runner runner? you hit trips with suited connectors in hand? you hit quads while you held onto a middle pair? http://rlv.zcache.com/im_huge_in_japan_postcard-p239983185932295651qibm_400.jpg

Stick to the points instead of making glorious, self-aggrandizing statements… just because you are good at poker (as you say you are) does not mean you are qualified to be a Psychoanalyst or whatever you were making claims towards.

Oh and while you are at it, Suggest that SM does an update of this article in light of your unprecedented success: http://www.sepiamutiny.com/sepia/archives/004810.html

"Is that why you had to rip off Negreanu's nickname?"

Daniel gave me my name after I hit runner runner...or did you miss the 666?

kidpoker666, would you mind explaining exactly what is keeping the poor down? In the American context do you think that the poor here are also oppressed by the ‘man’ like so much marxist rhetoric wants us to believe?

Your argument assumes all poor people relate to each other, middle class people relate to each other etc. Currently in India the middle class Tamil relates to the poor Tamil (and vice versa) rather than the middle class North Indian.

I am worried about the Indianisation of everyone into English-Hindi speakers who watch Cricket and Bollywood. If local culture is sufficiently eroded then it may catalyze a class revolution.

“Servants have no work ethic, you have to be on their case 24×7. They keep asking you for loans and go on long holidays to their native village.”

Wow!

God those poor people they really do suck!

sarcasm over

Its hilarious how SCARED desis become when you mention a revolution of the poor in india. If the poor are SO happy Sanjaya why worry :)

And will skepticism keep you safe?

I have never been called a revolutionary, armchair or otherwise…a hip hop fan, hedonist, womanizer yes…revolutionary no. I kinda like it though.

When it comes to India..to paraphrase Malcolm X the chickens will come home to roost.

I am much more skeptical about it than you, at least in South India which I'm familiar with. I could be wrong about the North particularly semi-urban/rural areas. Most of the wealth people have in such areas is their agricultural land, it can't be stolen like a sack of money.

There's a lot of opportunistic crimes committed by servants and treating them too well is interpreted as a sign of vulnerability. A lot of foreigners learn this the hard way. Backbreaking labor - are you kidding?? Servants have no work ethic, you have to be on their case 24x7. They keep asking you for loans and go on long holidays to their native village.

Besides this servant/master dynamic is overblown, it isn't so much a job as a relationship, people stick their noses in each others lives. In the USA I've noticed stratified isolation and racial balkanization particularly in housing. In India everyone has to mix, whether they like it or not, which helps simmer down tensions.
