Good.

Hell yeah. Let no one claim ignorance of what is happening over there; no "I don't keep up with news much" to shrug off the choice to ignore a genocide. Put it in front of everyone's faces.

2017…

Artemis ,

I think the point is that every media outlet during this crisis has forgotten that there was an update to their rather draconian first charter in 2017. Their leader stated the original was an embarrassment himself. They are apparently willing to compromise, but no one is listening.

Anticorp , to U.S. News in In the US, higher interest rates are forcing people to cut back

After struggling to find a house for 1.5 years we finally found one and are on the verge of backing out because of ever-increasing rates.

Yes, I too, am getting poorer

You were getting poorer before interest rates went up too, you just didn’t realise it because you could borrow from the future to finance now.

LoamImprovement ,

It’s poverty all the way down.

Not the whole damn bean, what do you think I am, made of beans or something?

So many different strikes in so many countries/sectors, and capitalists still refuse to address the problem.

He forgot Rule 0:

Be white.

TheDankHold ,

Seems to be doing just fine as part of the oppressor class in India. There’s a whole world beyond the US, Europe and Australia.

Sure, but they’ll never have the same close relationship with the West that Israel gets to have.

TheDankHold ,

And the homes get torn down and minorities oppressed regardless. I’m sure they’ll take some comfort from you telling them that it’s not the west doing this though.

adespoton , to Politics in Modi’s lesson from Israel: Demolish Muslim homes, erase their history

I’ve got a better comparison that may make the Indian government think twice about what they’re doing: it’s very similar also to what China is doing to the Uyghur muslims, but without the re-education camps.

History has shown that Israel’s approach is a failure on multiple levels. We have yet to see if China’s approach is any more effective. India really shouldn’t be trying to emulate either if it wants a lasting, durable society.

It’s actually nothing like what China is doing to the Ughyur Muslims.

Putting the morality of the matter aside, what China is doing in Xinjiang is sticking some Ughyurs in re-education facilities, giving them Mandarin classes and job programs. Whether that constitutes a genocide or not is up to you, I guess, but that’s aside from the point. China does not want to eliminate the Ughyurs or even necessarily convert them; they just want them to assimilate somewhat into broader Chinese society.

What India is doing is more similar to the Israeli method: destroy their homes or give them to non-Muslims in order to oppress Muslims out of existence.

Hah trust Lemmygrad.ml to downplay the genocide.

Han Supremacism is disgusting and forcing Uyghurs to become more Han-itised is for fascists.

So what do you think about America’s treatment of Black people? Just curious.

pseudorandom ,

Nice what about ism.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

They’re the ones that shoehorned a discussion about China into a thread about India, that makes it fair game.

Ooops ,
@Ooops@kbin.social avatar

Bad.

Also definitely not a targeted move to forcefully eliminate they culture and assimilate them. So a completely different topic with a completely different historical context and you are just the usual troll trying to divert. Like all trolls seem to do anytime their employer is criticsed in any way. Can't they teach you second trick besides whataboutism?

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Really? You don’t think there has been a targeted move to eliminate Black culture and assimilate them into white culture?

Interesting.

Also it’s not whataboutism when this whole comment chain is off topic in the first place - this thread should be about India, not China. Y’all watabouted first, I’m just following your lead lol

@Deceptichum@kbin.social avatar

America is just as shitty as China.

chaogomu ,

I'll just leave this here;

Government policies have included the arbitrary detention of Uyghurs in state-sponsored internment camps,[11][12] forced labor,[13][14] suppression of Uyghur religious practices,[15] political indoctrination,[16] severe ill-treatment,[17] forced sterilization,[18] forced contraception,[19][20] and forced abortion.[21][22]

Seems like elimination is the goal. Failing that, forced assimilation and banning of any cultural identity.

goryramsy , to U.S. News in First-of-its-kind reparations panel issues report in California

Ironic coming from aljazeera. Wonder what the Qatari government thinks of reparations, they did use slavery to build the FIFA World Cup stadium.

Also, is CA ok? Did they ever even have slavery there?

soiling OP ,
@soiling@beehaw.org avatar

There can be a discussion about Aljazeera as an organization, but that has nothing to do with the content of this article.

And reparations is not only about slavery. This panel wrote 1,075 pages on the subject and it doesn’t sound like you even read one article about it before trying to dispute the validity of a reparations program. Again, there can be discussion about how reparations should be handled, but it should start by acknowledging that colossal amount of work that has already gone into the conversation.
