The episode was insightful, but Pratik’s implications about Gujaratis being profit-minded, unethical, or having an “inferior culture” compared to West Bengal seemed unfair and overly simplistic. One could just as easily argue that Kolkata has gained a reputation for scam call centers or that some perceive the city to have a culture of laziness and unethical money-making practices, while Gujarat’s export-oriented economy requires higher ethical standards.
However, these differences aren't about cultural superiority or inferiority but rather about varying incentives and contexts that shape behaviors and values. I've noticed a growing trend of derogatory commentary on Gujarati culture and people. It's important to recognize that no culture is inherently better or worse; each has its unique strengths and challenges.
Unsubscribed. Can’t deal with anyone calling people like Zubair.
Just when I thought I found a gem of channel 💀 I was like let's look at the videos and yep there you have it "zoobear" is there . Nope paas
@@shivuu__ ikr bruh
Same bruh @@shivuu__
I guess Nupur Sharma doesn't share the same enthusiasm? Such a shame. Unsubscribed lol.
It's quite obvious to give a higher ground to the people of your political inclination.
I guess that's why you have 'hope' in your title, but quite sure the comments and you are transposed when the other side appears.
There are far better people on Zubair's flank, and this is my personal take as he is a massive ideologue. A distasteful individual.
Hope to see great social workers and thinkers who work for the upliftment, socially and economically, of the actual oppressed and not just by the idea of majoritarianism.
The Oppressed? The Brahmins, the priestly class of India were oppressed under a malevolent, tyrannical regime for a thousand years. How are they doing okay? Can you explain?
@@SRINATHKADIAM-o6f im doin good baby, how u doin?
Ok. Unsubscribed.
Even if this headline was a clickbait. Done with you.
And Taliban is actually for women's rights.😅
Last time watching your show
They are open jihadist
how ?
Hey Mr. Amit Verma, as a self-confessed libertarian do you agree with Zubair's demands for punishments for blasphemy ? I love hearing all POVs - the only exception being those that restrict freedom-of-speech itself (or advocate violence which is the same in a way).
PS:- I have unfollowed you after following TSATU from its very first episode (and occasionally supporting you) . Its a shame that you chose to stoop so low and abandon the defining principle of civilization itself. And sad because you were among the few voices that some on the other side (right-wing) liked to listen , even if with disagreement.
Good point
exactly.
Is he the same character who recently denied the atrocities on minorities in Bangladesh just becoz he has to play to the domestic gallary
did he deny the atrocities ? or just debunked the misinfo being spread at that time ? share links please.
@@amanvanced88 nope , he catagorially denied it , tweeting how indian right wing spreading misinformation that there are atrocities happening on Bangladeshi Hindus meanwhile in Bangladesh people protecting the temples, when people debunk him he as usual take some random tweet to support his theory , till now remain silent on the issue , he follow one sided narrative in cahoots with leftist
@@amanvanced88 he did deny the atrocities by posting that and claiming that Muslims were protecting hindu temples by staying awake, in the initial days itself, when the atrocities were at the peak.
@@amanvanced88why do I never see this kind of scepticism projected onto Zoobear? His snipjob on Nupur Sharma and what subsequently happened would have ended the career of a journalist.
If you reply with Goswami, as despicable as his persona and choices are, you cannot attribute an individual post to such a spree of pan Indian murders and violence.
Yo the famous "❤day ka fact checker" giving an actual interview!!!!
I am good tho, i am staying away 😅
Stick to frauds like Anand ranganathan
@@yj9032 Well, Ranganathan can go kick rocks for all I care.
Not a fan he he
But please carry on the licking of Fact checker's rear :)
@@yj9032 Well, Ranganathan can go kick rocks for all I care. Not a fan.
But you can carry on your licking of Fact checker's rear :)
@@yj9032 well, I don't really care what Ranganathan says. Not a fan.
But you can carry on your 1ick1ing of fact checker's @$$ 🙂
@@yj9032Ranga unkil is unnecessarily reverent of J Sai Deepak, both his positions & prose are often contrived and he has demeaned whatever is left of his intelligence by appearing on Republic.
However, he has never got anyone killed by selectively snipping videos, he has never got a national arrested on foreign soil and he has never partaken in paid psyop.
Thank you Amit for this episode!
What's next in pipeline Amit? Taliban!!!
Seriously Amit, giving platform for such bigoted and horrendous ideologues. You described them as 'great thinker'....what a downfall. I disagreed a lot with your viewpoints but I was always eager to hear the other side of the spectrum, but I still enjoyed listening to you. But promoting radical ideologues...Shame on you
how is zubair bigoted ?
@@amanvanced88 by every mean possible?
Great episode, thanks
Well clarified....excellent...
Come on Amit. Zubair guy is despicable. Come on.
Lost all respect for Amit
Please be continued 😮❤
Amit I am great fan of your, but you failed me here. You didnt dared to ask tough questions to those.
I was a huge fan of amit verma podcast ,but these guest are such a crap ,
People hating on "zubair" and not "pratik" proves everything thats going on in india....
And maybe thats because pratik is not as bigoted as zubair? Maybe because pratik is not responsible for the several beheadings that took place during the whole nupur sharma saga? People like you can not look at things through a non-religious perspective and then accuse the right wing of doing exactly that.
Brilliant episode Amit! Thanks for this. Ignore comments from the rightwing nuts :)
So leftists can't get populist? Or is Amit just ignoring the views of the Left while upholding liberty? Talk about "rightwing" nuts on a libertarian podcast.
A poor presentation
When you select a person a minimum level of expression is a must despite trying very hard I was unable to swallow and complete the podcast not because of there viewpoints or leanings but because the expression was so stunted disjointed
There should be a minimum level of intellectual capacity before you feature someone
Come on Amit, I am a big fan of this show and EiE, but Zubair really? Its your show you can do whatever you want, but I mean really stop making a hero out of such people, they are not. They have their own political agendas. Someone who follows people like Zubair, Dhruv, The Wire etc is as misinformed/uninformed as someone who gets info from whatsapp forwards.
What is their agenda? Exposing hindutva extremism?
Who is the real hero according to you?
Don't name Arnab Or Suresh Chavhanke
Their agenda is to spread bullshit and just contradict the govt on every damn thing even if its good. I am not saying that either side is right, just that these people who claim to be "truth seekers" are just not. Baaki toh democracy hai, joh karna hai, joh believe karna hai karo
@@gbatigoal9 buddy, Arnab is trash. His content is garbage. And so is Zubair. Different sides of the same fucked up, trash coin.
@@rvc1_hindutva extremism 🤣 is there anything like that
Oh bhai...! None of Amit's podcasts have got as many comments as this one.
Zubair is not a good person. Pratik Sinha was fine, but Zubair got exposed.
Zubair is not good Due to his religion
@@munzy890 No, he chose to fan the Nupur Sharma controversy knowingly in and for the Middle East, causing harm to the said person. One person was killed because of that. A fact-checker should have known better.
@@munzy890 Everytime some1 criticises a Muslim, feel free to bring up his religion. Typical !
@@empiresoftwares Everyone knows what you mean by that. What exactly did he do to become so disliked that he shouldn't be invited? Be bold and explain why you dislike him. Sanghis hate him because he fact-checks thousands of their lies against Muslims
@@sandeepanb2005 He exposed the abuse, just like many news channels did. Pathik, his co-partner, also tweeted against this hateful lady. Why are you okay with his presence but have a problem with Zubair
This is a dream come true! Thanks so much for doing this.
Your dream was to listen to Zoo bear speak???
That's so weird and creepy 🤮
Wow. Just wow.
You need better dreams.
Unsubscribed! Did not expect this from YOU!
😂 Seeing your channel for the first time, peer pressure is making me unsubsubscribe before subscribing. 😝 Keep making content. 😊
traitors
One of the best conversations, nothing bigoted in the conversations
Amit the comment section is infested with sanghis
@@desi_anarch Not everyone who doesn't like to $uck Fact checker's c1rcum$ized p3n1$ like you do is a Sanghi 🙂
Not everyone is a Sanghi. Zoobear is a despicable human being, just on the other side.
Imagine not being able to tolerate someone with a different opinion than your daily dose of confirmation bias while watching a libertarian podcast.
Zubair Bhai, please control the use of "matlab" yaar!!! After every two words there is a "matlab". 😢
Thanks for bringing Zubair !!! Hats off to you man !!
To all the people who think Zubair is not a good person or does not deserve this ... Go fQ yourselves ...
The people you speak for have been caught in willing wrong act tens and hundreds of times and you come here to talk about zubair getting exposed.
Ek kam kar .... Wo south ka lawyer ka debate and bhasan sun jake.
Atleast he makes sense and is not openly bigoted like this propagandist here😂
That last line is avoidable.
Great episode
Zubair & Pratik are a great complimentary fit in the same mission❤😅
All of us appreciate the yeoman service they render to society pan india🎉
Especially Kanhaiyalal?
