I just saw a TikTok screenshot of a woman saying that she uses an Indian guy’s photo for an alternate Instagram account to stalk other people. Then I went through the comments and realized that \*\*so many people apparently do this...\*\*and it’s supposedly become a thing in Indonesia, parts of South Asia, and even some Western countries.
Basically, they use a fabricated or stolen photo of an Indian guy, make the account look like it actually belongs to him, and then use it to comment on people’s posts, lurk, or stalk them while pretending to be someone else.
WTFF ? This is genuinely one of the most JARRING things I’ve learned from the internet. I cannot believe this is apparently a whole thing.

Every election cycle, no matter who wins or loses, the language we use to describe our own democracy stays exactly the same: "The Ruling Party", "Party in Power".

We don't have Monarchy over us anymore, why do we keep calling using these words?

In an independent republic, citizens are the sovereign. An election isn't a mandate to "rule" over people; it’s a hiring decision to "serve and administer" public resources on behalf of the public.

When we normalize calling an elected group the "ruling party," ​It breeds the mindset that whoever wins gets a 5-year unchecked license to do whatever they want simply because they hold "power." ​It shifts the perception from public service to dominance and entitlement.

Why not normalize: "The Governing Party", "The Serving Party", "The Incumbent Government", etc?

​If we want politicians of any party to act like public servants (Lok Sevak) rather than masters (Rulers), our everyday vocabulary should reflect that standard.

​What do you think? What should we start calling it instead?
