    LOL. This is clearly how to tell

    “I’m jealous of another country achieving something better than my country”

    without actually telling

    “I’m jealous of another country achieving something better than my country”

      Lol, im sorry but there’s nothing to be jealous of India. Im happy they accomplished the landing in the moon, but they have a lot problems that they need to solve in their country.

        I don’t disagree that they have problems to solve. But the kind of negativity these comments point out of pure jealousy. Let’s just celebrate achievements in the field of science and tech whichever country it is. No country is perfect.

          Yeah people do this type of whataboutism in almost every comment section for posts mentioning India. I assume it’s related to people disliking India, racism, or both.

            One can mention the problems a country have without being racist/disliking a country. All countries have problems. If I mention the United atates have a problem with ignorancy, racism, between other problems, would that be considered racism?

              Would you mention those in a thread about an article, let’s say, the recent Artemis mission? The issue is context, not the actual idea. It’s not relevant, so why mention it in the first place? If people want to discuss those problems, do it under the appropriate post or make a new thread for that purpose.
