Today is Diwali, the biggest Hindu Festival and modern day Hindu Fascists have brainwashed people into killing themselves by burning billions of crackers in a single night.

The air is quite literally unbreathable and looks white. Yet people won't stop burning crackers. No one wears a mask btw.

Hinduism is easily the most destructive religion on Earth right now, the pollution generated from rituals and festivals is unimaginable. As an ex-Hindu, this casteist piece of shit religion is a bane on Indian society actively working against the betterment of the Indian people. I wish the Communists in India actually had the balls to do a revolution in the 1950s and we wouldn't be in this mess.

it’s 8pm and I haven’t heard anything near me thank god. Last year the Diwali celebrations were madness, shit sounded like bombs going off just over the hill. Multiple dogs had seizures and I think at least one died. A few of the explosions shook my house.

I don’t want this to be a Diwali hate comment, July 4 also sucks, but July 4 doesn’t sound like someone’s firebombing the next neighborhood over and the explosions are much closer. No idea on the dog fatality rate.

Edit: just talked to my mom, supposedly Diwali celebrations were held over the weekend. I didn’t hear anything so they must’ve used like regular fireworks. Not sure what the hell they were using last year but it really did sound like my neighbors were being firebombed

Yeah it feels like a Warzone on Diwali night. Glad that you didn't have to suffer this year.
