Russian Cats have been banned from Cat competitions.

Russian students are being kicked out of universities for being Russian.

In the FIFA video game, Russian teams are being removed.

Books written by Russian authors are being removed by certain universities. 

The Russians are really being ostracised. 

It is actually astounding how much the liberals of the west are quite content with innocent Russians being ostracised. Just imagine if that had happened after 9/11.  The common Russians are been demonised to such an extent that most people in the west now are ok with them being victimised to this extent. I mean, those associated with Putin one can argue should be targeted but the cancel culture against common Russians is getting ridiculous now. This is mass hysteria.

It is mind blowing but at the same time remember we put the japanese in internment camps during world war II. 

Took their property, businesses. Many never to be returned. Forced to live in harsh camp conditions simply for being japanese americans.

Look at this carefully staged picture which has been used on the front pages of western newspapers.

Has the classic -

Innocent baby - normal people would react with horror - Putin really is a monster.. we have to help the Ukrainians!

- Soldier holding baby - reaction would be support for the Ukrainian army 

- Dog - let's not forget the animal lovers, we need their support as well.

Both soldier and baby are spotless. No debris, dust or anything that one would expect their clothing to have if they were in a building which has been bombed. 

There is no doubt war is hell and any army targeting innocent civilians should be condemned by everyone. BUT the way the propaganda is being used needs to be called out. 

Baby looks real clean.

Covid set the precedent. I think society has been - or is being - conditioned into craving that "Next Big Trauma" (and its response from the authorities) to satisfy a ludicrous sense of personal well-being. The media are a criminal enterprise.

Indian colonial policies in Punjab exactly mirror the British colonial policies in India. Just as it was in the British economic interest to turn India into a raw materials suppliers which could then be exported to Britain and then the value added finished goods in British factories which could then be sent to India to be sold, in the same way Indian colonialism keeps Punjab a underdeveloped agricultural colony. Hindi imperialism is just one aspect of  Indian colonialism. In the globalised world, Punjabis have more need for a language like English than Hindi. The only two languages than matter in Punjab should be Punjabi and English. 

Sure. I'm aware of British colonialism and how it affected the Indian economy.

However, English was imposed on Indians precisely to promote their culture, language and to ensure they controlled the economy.  It is the language of slave traders used to annihilate Indic cultures. Neither Japan nor China has such colonial hangovers and are leaders in many technological fields. 

Moreover, the world is moving away from globalisation as can be seen today. It is moving towards a decentralisation system of operation which means we will in future produce and consume locally, allowing local cultures to thrive/ be revived. 

As India is one landmass then there should be a National language and I don't believe it is English. Probably a toss between Hindi, already spoken by a great number of Indians or Sanskrit (my preference) that most Indic languages are rooted in.

Covid has very been quiet recently.

She's going to get in trouble! Claims Ukrainians are shelling their own people, then exiting for Western news and media outlets to claim Russian atrocities.
