As an Indian, this article would have fit nottheonion. The guy speculating this must be high on something really strong enough to make an elephant sleep soundly for a few days, to put it mildly.

I'm trying to figure out if we're being astroturfed with pro-India/Modi stuff here on worldnews. What do you think is going on?

I doubt it. The Indian subs moved elsewhere (squabbles.io?) and the ones on lemmy world or other instances are not official. Most are staying back on reddit. If you feel there's too much Indian news you can limit it.

It's all these invest-bating "think-tanks" that want to manipulate market evaluation by promoting the heck out of states with fascists leadership or fascist-adjacent states, like India and Poland. The key is to see how the comparisons are framed, and as soon as you hear a leaning interest in one way or the other you know the article is only made to manipulate and not inform.

Also, Goldman-Sachs should be treated as a political organisation as well, because it pretty much fríggin' is.

Why would the think tanks benefit from promoting fascist (adjacent) states? Are they getting paid?

Yes. Absolutely. That's literally what they do. Their job is to find out how to create psy-ops, manipulate, confuse, subvert and game systems - hiding behind a veil of "top experts in their fields figuring out big problems", except the big problem is you voting for your actual interests.

It's a very long standing tradition in the US for instance to rely on think tanks behind closed doors to figure out how to game the system... mostly from republicans... because republicans is partly a fascist party, thanks to the stupidity of a two-party system.

I mean a massive ass party that gets pelted with money by wealthy donors? They invest that money.
