    My wife and her family are all from India and she always says she doesn’t want to talk politics. My first time arguing politics with her family, they all started aggressively shouting, with her uncle even shoving me a little as they raised points that made absolutely no sense and my counterpoints were met with thinly-veiled threats. Finally, I was told that I don’t know how anything works because I only knew what I heard on mainstream media, but they knew the truth because they “know these things.” The only things I learned that day were:

    1. Never argue politics with anyone who supports Modi
    2. My wife is always right

    ETA: When I asked if they were threatening me, they’d say no and that I don’t know how to argue politics. I’m guessing this person threatening to nuke Canada in the same way you’ll hear people say “I’ll give you such a slap.”
