Irony defined: Cribbing and complaining about cribbing and complaining.

If someone from another country took a look at our sub for a month then he/she would think that we live in a war torn country.

It would take serious callousness for someone to be aware of the shit that's going around in the polity and still be happy. Most people here are Cynics, and that's how most progressive people across history have been. It takes a Cynic to cut through jingoistic chest-thumping and see the reality, as it is. If we are like that, I say well done.

Politics.. we are more into politics than most people, did you have look at the /r/all during the US elections? Looked like they are going to cut open their country anytime.... and we give more importance to politics than most, so it's obviously split wide open.

i thought about the same thing today, r/india is filled with complaints.

I've noticed this too.

Of course, we should not just ignore the negative happenings around us, but that doesn't mean we should actively seek it. Imo, this subreddit is doing exactly that. Many users here spend their entire time starting fights and cribbing about everything. This panicky, alarmist attitude is literally the worst kind of attitude to have. It's not good for the mind or body.

It's why I'm gonna actively try this year to spread positivity in here. :) I hope you join me, OP (and anyone else who's reading this).

Because Modi is PM.

Another thing I have noticed is that people share news based on just reading the title. They themselves don't bother to actually read whats written in the article and check if its a clickbait article where title doesn't matches the content. They share this article because it resonates with their echochambers. A couple of times when I asked them why have they shared it when the content and the subject are incoherent, they said its not their fault as they have not written the article and so how can they be blamed for it. In the past month, every Tom Dick Harry is writing articles on the current state of affairs. The way reddit works is that any link is considered as a "source" which is kind of ridiculous since it empowers the popular opinion and furthur spread negativity.

You'd rather we watch MILF Creampie videos ?

Because we are not printing currency notes enough, not using credit cards enough as helicopter money and putting other countries and races within our control.

Indians are like this only - always complaining and crying. Ugh! ^/s

Most people on the internet are sad. Including me.
