BJP has been targeting Muslims on so many fronts. They once threw Rohingyas in the ocean.
news
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
what the fuck
I continue to not understand how countries deport people to places they aren’t from. Does Bangladesh (Or Mexico in the US case) not have immigration controls? Do they just let Indian busses drive in no questions asked about who’s on them?
The US has deported American citizens to Mexico many times. How the fuck does this happen? Mexico has border checkpoints of its own. When you cross into Mexico, you have to show your passport.
Is deportation just a “get into any country free” card? Can I find a border patrol agent and say “I’m an illegal immigrant from China, deport me” and they’ll drop me off outside Beijing? Obviously that’s not how this works but how does it work?
Typically deportation works by issuing you a deportation order, you are supposed to figure out how to leave on your own.
If you fail, they can take you into custody, for failure to follow their order, and then either a country is willing to take you in and grant you residence permit, or you stay in prison until you get out, or you are transferred to another prison.
Edit: Okay on a second thought I was wrong. What I describe is how I've seen it play out as a consequences of political censorship, but I doubt it's actually typical and I can see how it'd be more like what the reply below describes.
It seems like a lot of times the way it’s worked is CBP loads people up into a van and drops them on a street in Juarez
this is going to happen in every right wing country in the next half century or sooner genocide by displacement genocide by statelessness
"Modi’s BJP reignited this tinderbox during a court-ordered updating of the NRC [National Register of Citizens] that, in 2019, rendered 1.9 million people “foreigners” in their own homes. If someone is unable to prove their Indian citizenship, regardless of their actual residency or birth certificate, the Foreigners Tribunal then orders their detention and eventual deportation, in most cases to an undetermined destination." Harsha Walia, Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism
As part of the ethnonationalist project to establish a Hindu Rashtra, the Hindutva BJP have been on the cutting edge (alongside the Zionist entity and surpassed in sheer numbers only by Myanmar) in creating stateless citizens: people who are legally considered to have no nationality or citizenship anywhere on the planet.
Yep according to some BJP's only hindu's can be "indian".
