To further prove your point , when Gerrard did have quality like Torres and Suarez , those were our closest title challenges in decades . If he had a few good years with people with that quality and maybe one other player , I can confidently say he ' d have won the title a few times . Think about if Liverpool had 5 seasons with a fit and young Gerrard , Coutinho and TorresSuarez . <| sep |> There are a lot of parallels between the current mood of some sections of Indian society and nationalism and putinism . Similar to putinism a lot of extremely rich people by indian standards tend to see themselves as shielded from the effects of authoritarianism , and they also have a culture of intense chauvinism . Exists in the NRI community too , sadly . Which is why this shitty halfdemocratic status of India keeps dragging this country down despite so much potential . all being wasted . Yep , we have somehow managed to aggregate the worst of all worlds borrowing the worst aspects of an overly bureaucratic , corrupt planned economy and the inequality engendering aspects of an unregulated laissezfaire system . Social media is also a big problem here since that ' s where people get their news from , and it ' s a bubble that just reinforces their own distorted views .
