Online Anna Hazare fans & the irony of anti-corruption in India

This post isn`t about whether Anna Hazare is a great revolutionist or a retarded douchebag. This post is merely shedding some light on some of his hypocrite supporters.Some of the ways in which Anna`s supporters were protesting are outright bizarre like people in his village doing a no-bath protest here.

However none are half as irritating as Anna`s social-network fans.

In your own facebook wall you would find many such hypocrites whose idea of a protest is to bombard your wall with Anna hazare pseudo-inspirational posts. When put in scoring system..the following are the values of their virtual protesting methods:

[Let us take the highly acclaimed method actress Sonam Kapoor as a prototype to display the mentality of online Hazare fans]

At the end, the total number of points would be proportional to how good an Indian you are.

Anna Hazare has created an image of being the next Gandhi and that this great Indian tamasha is India`s second freedom struggle. Indians have a deluded image in their mind that it`s all the "government`s" fault and that they are all honest hard-working people who have been screwed up by the government. I am not defending the government in any way but these Indians act as if they are very huge patriotic when they have probably not once in their lives sang the national anthem/vande mataram except the times when they were forced to(school/college/Big cinemas multiplex). They are the same Indians who don`t think twice before buying black tickets or paying a huge percentage of real estate amount via cash to evade tax or bribing a traffic cop. They do give excuse for this as "there is no other way out" but the truth they and we all know is that we do it cause its convenient.The most outright disturbing fact is that 99% of online anna hazare fans post about supporting Anna Hazare while using a PIRATED WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM.

"Don`t judge me because i am appearing in a reality show. If Gandhi was alive he would to."

This is what Manu Joseph the dude who exposed the truth about Bharkha Dutt has written in his New York times article rearding the whole comic-revolution
"Most Indians have paid a bribe. Most Indian businesses cannot survive or remain competitive without stashing away undeclared earnings. Almost everybody who has sold a house has taken one part of the payment in cash and evaded tax on it.
Yet, the branding of corruption is so powerful that Indians moan the moment they hear the word. The comic hypocrisy of it all was best evident in the past few months as the anti-corruption movement gathered unprecedented middle-class support"



People login facebook and other such sites just to chill out and to chat with their buddies(and also because they have no life) so please do us all a flavor by keeping your virtual patriotism to yourself. We know we can block you if we are sick of your support-anna campaign but than we would lose out all the precious likes and comments that you have given in our posts in the past. So please just STFU and ejaculate your pseudo-patriotism outside social networking sites. And
if you really from the bottom of your heart support anna`s campaign than there are a lot of productive things you can do like actually going to Delhi and protesting there along with the crowd.

Because if you truly are a patriotic person but are wanking about it only in the internet than you are no different than my friend here....
