The point is OP did not write or invent the articles linked. So it doesn't matter who OP is, whether a tankie or not, we could go straight to the news article and ignore the tankie. You just belittled the racism happening to Indian citizens just because the bearer of the news is opposed to your political belief.
Knowing that OP is skewing the narrative by flooding the space with articles supporting one narrative is important and cannot be ignored.
Some contexts go further than the immediate article and no one is asking anyone to ignore what's written in the article. Rather, what is asked is to be aware that many articles today were posted to support a certain narrative.
Some people today might end their day thinking 'boy, Ukraine has been doing a lot of bad things lately', when the bad things were specifically cherry-picked for their feed.
Indian people and their plight are being used for OP's own agenda and pointing this out does not discredit anything that might be happening to them, nor does it mean that it's not important, as was being suggested.
Usually what we do is post counter articles, or articles that widen the picture see everybody sees the whole. Not attack the character of the person.
So why don't you inform us by using similar articles, that way we can judge on our own if OPs words are noteworthy or trash.
That's not at all "what we usually do". Most people don't have time to cherry pick articles and post them to "widen the picture", nor should they.
Context is important and so is being aware of bad actors trying to alter public perception.
You're trying to skew this into something that's wrong, but it's not.
You are the one skewing the narrative here...
