How is it possible for the BJP and Modi to be so popular? First, because of the bulk of the BJP’s political support comes from the rural and more backward areas of this huge country who have not benefited from the strident rise of Indian capitalism in the cities. These areas are bulwarks of Hindu nationalism, incentivised by fear of muslims.

The second reason is the total failure over the decades of the main capitalist party and standard bearer of Indian independence, the Congress party, to deliver better living standards and conditions for the hundreds of millions, not only in the country but in the city slums. Congress appears to millions as the party of the establishment controlled by a family dynasty (the Gandhis), while the BJP appears to many as the populist party of the forgotten people.

Highlights

Alright, here is purely my takeaway from what I gleaned. It's not comprehensive by any means, so better watch the video first!

• 🤏 Meritocracy
  • Misconceptions to make you marketable: "10x dev", "1% top software developers", etc.
  • These YouTubers don't want you to know that the world is unfair.
  • Students and AI fear as a market.
• 💸 Money
  • Mere numbers to bait clicks: "75+ LPA", "HIGHEST SALARIES", etc.
  • Skill gap is the silent part.
• 📈 Trend chasing
  • Fearmongering is popular as ever.
  • Videobloggers plant the seed in unsuspecting minds and then retract when it bites them.
• 💩 Bashing specific technologies
  • Saying "PHP bad" just because they use framework for unintended designs.
  • Switching involves burning previous technology, somehow.
• 😓 Regret videos
  • Bad message: software engineering is a race with finish line.
  • Trying to be relatable to the viewer by demonstratively showing resignation.
    • Regret about not knowing something.
    • Regret about using technology.
• 👻 Scare marketing
  • Fake pretence of machine replacing certain or all kinds of developers.
