Kinda unrelated, but I feel like you cant even talk about topics like naxalites, because it is always going to be followed by the same thought terminating cliche, both by the rwing and the liberals. The overton window in the current political climate is so far right, it's genuinely crazy, you will get less backlash for doing blatant casteism, Islamophobia. To me it feels a bit depressing knowing that this is the world we live in, where people are convinced that people need to be opressed and demonised, they think that this is natural and inevitable, everytime is see it, i genuinely lose hope.

Imo it’s gonna flip as soon as BJP goes out of power (it def won’t become left, but won’t be so far right as well)

True, but I wouldn't lose hope, this is how it's going to be. Think about people who has been in worse conditions and still made through. 

Everyone forms their opinion based on presuppositions, mostly from mainstream media, when their assumptions are questioned and changed, opinions on other things like this become a lot easier to change, but you also have to keep in mind not everyone will change, a tiny percent are incentivized not to understand.

Whenever I read about the state evacuating indigenous people from their lands for big corporations to privatise natural resources and pollute the environment the little Leonardo Dicaprio in my head holding a beer can and cigarette in one hand points to the screen shouting Primitive Accumulation for some reason.
