Influencers, Ignorance & The Art of Going Viral

Well well well. India takes a firm stand against terrorism, gives a tight slap to those sending friendly bombs across the border, and what do we get in return? A bunch of influencers — yes, the same species that teaches you how to contour your nose while dancing to a Punjabi remix — suddenly decide to become foreign policy experts.
Apparently, mocking the government’s anti-terror action is the new trend, right up there with fake Instagram giveaways and 15-second life advice. Because obviously, if there’s anything missing from serious national defense discussions, it’s a lip-sync video titled How NOT to handle a cross-border strike.
Let’s get one thing clear: these aren’t harmless internet comedians or misunderstood satirists. These are people who wouldn't survive five minutes without Wi-Fi and ring lights but somehow feel qualified to undermine national efforts and the sacrifices of our soldiers — all for a few clicks, likes, and maybe a free promo code.
Who gave them this power, you ask? Oh, just the same people who binge-watch these cringe fests and share them like they’re distributing prasad. Yes, it is us — the audience — who turn every rant, roast, and ridiculous opinion into trending content. We are literally watching them sell their souls, and we’re footing the bill. Bravo India. Bravo.
Now here’s a revolutionary idea: what if we just… did not? What if we ignored them, blocked their channels, and reported their videos faster than they can say “Don’t forget to like, share and subscribe”? Let’s see how many reels they make when their follower count drops faster than their IQ level.
It’s high time we stop entertaining these keyboard clowns who wear patriotism only on Republic Day and forget it the next morning. If they love attention so much, let’s give them the cold shoulder. It’s cheaper than therapy and a lot more effective.
After all, in the battle between real heroes at the border and wannabe TikTok tacticians, I know exactly who deserves my respect — and it’s not the one using Woke But Witless.
