Nation that assassinates political activists in Canada accuses Canada of terrorism.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

Assholes love to project their idiocy on others to blame them for being assholes. Tale old as time.

The Hindu supremacist Modi govt that has unleashed a wave of domestic terrorism against Indian muslims, indian Christians, Sikhs, our Dalits and other oppressed castes is calling Canada “a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists, and for organized crime,”??!

I am so angry at the Indian govt's stupidity right now.

How un-self aware can you be as a country, jesus christ

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago

Fascist gonna fash. If Modi and his BJP stop whining about how the world is being mean to ~~India~~ Bharat, people might start noticing all sorts of uncomfortable things about them.

I didn’t have this for my 2023 bingo card

Indians were warned by Governor Satya Pal Malik, who had worked closely with Modi in the past, that 'He is capable of anything.'. And we know Sikh solidarity and support for India's farmers thwarted Modi's attempts to hand over India's agri business to his close corporate Adani.

Plus he's desperate af to win 2024 elections and a 'Modi is being targeted. oh Hindu's are in danger' victim-card might distract voters from the absolute mess he's made of India's once-booming economy.

Sikhs do not support Khalistan. A very small faction Nihangs support Khalistan. Stop spreading nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Of course Sikhs don't support Khalistan. here have I said they do. They're India's backbone and so Modi govt & its godimedia are defaming them to

  1. create a bogeyman so majoritarian Hindus can be conned to feel they're in danger AND

  2. as a vindictve response to the Sikh support for the farmers protest that derailed Modi's favoured oligarch Adani's plans to control India's agri business.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure that Sikh farmers have isolated Nihangs away from their protest. Most Indians hate Godi Media to begin with, and we saw in protests how Godi Media people were booed and driven away by farmers from protest sites. The Khalistan flag incident was also quickly corrected and condemned by farmers.

Modi may use it to fuel his hatred agenda, but the unfortunate part is that Khalistanis have been sheltered by Canada, UK and USA for decades now, with nothing ever done by these "western democracies".

Ope, India tryin' to make Canucks look bad, don'tcha know...

Has Canada apologized yet?

[–] lazylion_ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, c'mon. The RCMP aren’t that bad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Dammit, don't make me consider their point lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey is this the part where we ask for proof?

Cuz all I've been hearing is that Canada's allegations are totally baseless until we provide proof. Isn't that how it works? Or is proof only required when India is being accused?

[–] Poob 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think you got downvoted by people who thought you were asking for proof that India murdered that fellow.

I found it pretty clear you were mocking India's government for not providing any proof of Canada being a terrorist sanctuary.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Lol thanks, you got it. I'll wear the downvotes as a badge of shame, and a reminder to take the time to think before I shoot off a stupid comment.

Bah, who am I kidding. It's not the first time this happened and it won't be the last. I once got downvotes in a newiran subreddit because the OP compared the Iran govt to neanderthals - I felt that homo sapiens neanderthalensis is a bit misunderstood and didn't deserve to be insulted by the comparison.

But it come with a free poutine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

but it contains potassium-benzoate

However the poutine is layered, so that makes it good.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Poutines for everybody!

Just not state sanctioned assassins.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks.

state sanctioned assassins and their cheerleaders don't deserve anything good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You’re going to piss off a lot of Americans with that comment.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 years ago

I love the outcome of this. Suddenly Sikhs would stop migrating to Canada, and those over there would face harassment or mob murders, effectively allowing Canada to look like the true oppressive state they are. And it would be very much in character, since they do it to Wetsuwet'en.
