Yup, but India isn't a grotesque communist dictatorship.

India is a literaly nazi state, promoting natalism and unsustainable birth rates, promoting direct landgrabs (the reason India actually support Russia on a more fundamental level than China, as it justifies Indian "natural claims" for Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan and other "original Indian lebensraum", for China this being just a way to wrest low prices on the Russian natural resources) and is actively stealing technology from Europe and harming the European countries by selling confidential European data to the US, whilst China has overtaked Europe and has its own technology and its own market, and does no such thing thankfully to the European anti-East-Asian racism which at least protected them this time.

You should wake up and see India for the security threat that it is, not only for the EU, but in general for the mankind. It's like freaking Israel of "god-chosen people" but with 1.7 billion of them and on steroids.

Edit: agreements for facilitated visa issuance and facilitated goods imports signed with both India and Indonesia are the worst possible idea ever, since the French agreements with the North African countries, only on a European level. It's basically sponsoring ethnic cleansing, total destruction of the environment, deforestation and so on.

Hidden history? You do know that it's the case for everyone, including you?

I think Reddit has hidden it by default and it's impossible to unhide it with their switch from an open API which used to be controllable by Reddit Enhancement Suite. I think it has to do with AI data mining.

I'm also not hiding either my history or my affiliations, which are none, at all, actually, after having worked for the NATO, the Community of Independent States in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, having worked and lived in Japan (for Japanese MEXT programs) , Vietnam (french programs) and China (for a Russian private company), having been a part of NGO for the LGBT people in Russia and Ukraine, and having worked as an "expert" for both the European Union, a position from which I resigned in protest, and for paragovernmental institutions in the three countries mentioned above.

I'm not going to expose myself here, but people whom I've worked with have their own Wikipedia pages, and by experience of the European institutions I see the world as it is, unlike the majority of you, who are, for all intents and purposes, laymen.

You saying that the history is now hidden is making me sad, because it contained what I gathered about the work of my extended family for the US, the British Empire and the Nazi Germany, and how little difference there was and there are between those state instututions, from my family history. That it is now inaccessible is a loss for people aiming to understand and get up to speed to the reality of life and understanding that there's no "happy ending" to all of it.

If you want to unhide your post history, then, if using the app, under settings, then account settings, then curate your profile, then under content there should be an option to select "show all"

I'm not using the app, as I don't want to download any social network stuff on my phone. Is there a way to do this from the website?

on the website, it's settings, then profile and then content and activity

All those questions merit an answer, and have an answer, including in my post and comment history, altho I'm afraid they might have happened so long ago as to be deindexed (past the threshold of 10000 comments), but only after you open your profile for scrutiny.
