In #India in May, Chief Justice #SuryaKant compared #unemployed #youth to “cockroaches” and “parasites” in a hearing Well there's an interesting thing that happens when you use a slur against a group of people: #Reappropriation An insult flipped to a statement of pride Now mere frustration among young Indians over #education, #jobs and the #economy has morphed into #protests and even a political movement: #CJP the #CockroachJanataParty https://apnews.com/article/india-cockroach-janata-party-2c74e5597c1a7a4ac5a49ee8ce72f1cd #politics

Follow up to: https://mastodon.social/@benroyce/116709382859132554 " #India’s education minister resigns amid Cockroach youth movement protests" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/25/dharmendra-pradhan-india-education-minister-resigns-cockroach-movement Something every people of every country need to learn (many know, many don't): You fight for something, you win You sit there in inert, whiny cynicism and fragile, impotent perfectionism... you're only aiding malice in your learned helplessness. You've been psychologically conditioned Especially you, lazy entitled Americans #CJP #CockroachJanataParty

India's 'Cockroach' movement: Accusations of police brutality in New Delhi | DW News There are some parallels between the Indian and Albanian protests. Both are student-led, both are anti-corruption, and both were peaceful protests where the cops got violent (and the young people were somewhat shocked by this). Both had the cops claiming the protestors attacked and wounded *them*. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebnVJaz-Sf0 #India #CockroachJanataParty #Protest #Corruption
