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

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

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year 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.

Hahaha

This is hilarious

Meanwhile, eye medicine produced in India makes people go blind.

If the choice is either imaginary Canadian terrorists or actual India induced blindness, I know which I pick.

Oh, c'mon. The RCMP aren’t that bad.

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@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year 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.

[–] tellah@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] butsbutts@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

but it contains potassium-benzoate

[–] GloveNinja@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 1 year ago

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

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Poutines for everybody!

Just not state sanctioned assassins.

[–] xuxebiko@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks.

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

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