    Yeah I’m not saying those two are the same things. However I read some articles where tribal people and villagers claimed to be shot on sight for wandering into parks, then tortured for protesting this.

    My point was just that the sentiment for forest rangers in the US or elsewhere doesn’t necessarily apply to India. The forest department might be more like the Bureau of Indian Affairs in some cases

    Corruption? Indian rangers are basically police. They’re uniformed and armed, and apparently have orders to kill. ACAB

    I was in a car once when the driver accidentally went into a restricted forest area, and he just gave the guards a bribe to let us out without punishment. They’re presumably better than the actual police generally, but in the tribal areas they can be just as bad.

    Is there a base case or do the layers of irony go on to infinity?

    Person: says something

    Another person: this other person has no nuance

    Yet another person: this other person has no nuance, ironically

    Yet another person: this other person has no nuance, ironically

    (ad infinitum)

    Maybe this is just dialectics, although a little snarky
