Disgusting how NBA celebrities want the viewers to empathize with their (rightful) struggles, yet won't say anything about the evil Chinese human rights violates.

The things they're doing to those Muslim Chinese is crazy. Absolutely evil and crazy. And the world just ignored it completely. Like zilch, Nada.


What's happening in China is despicable but I don't see anything wrong with black Americans prioritizing the struggles faced by black Americans.

You can't reasonably expect people to campaign for every issue under the sun, nor for every wrong in the world to be solved in order of importance. NBA players supporting the BLM movement will make far more impact than them supporting action against China over their treatment of Uyghurs, it's a far more efficient use of resources if you genuinely are concerned with ending prejudice.

As for the few posts talkings about Modi, I've been discussing the similarities between Modi and Trump, their affection towards each other, for a while now. Modi's Hindutva ideologies, authored by Hitler aficionados, have cultivated a frightening religious intolerance in the country, best exemplified by the destruction of Babri Mosque. Modi's support and empowerment of Amit Shah and Yogi Adityanath, two disdainful and unwavering anti-Muslim, Hindu hegemony adherents highlights his vision of India, and appears to parallel Trump's vision. Xi Jinping is no different. He has a history of inciting Hindu-Muslim animosity, and his Hindu nationalist stance is concerning for the 20 percent of Indians who are not Hindu. With the demonization of religious minorities in India is hitting a pinnacle, it's not shocking to see Trump enamored with Modi's right-wing populism.

The BJP's plans to administer the NRC (National Register of Citizens) nationwide is increasingly disturbing, and something I'm certain Trump has suggested at some juncture. I believe they're building 10+ detention camps for anyone who does not appear on the NRC. This is guaranteed to transform into a massive humanitarian crisis, and the population of detainees would surpass China's Uighur internment. To make matters worse, the CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act), coupled with the NRC, will displace a frightening number of people. All of the BJP's recent moves are establishing Muslims as second class citizens.

I really dislike the man (Modi), and his politics have gone largely unnoticed internationally. His barbaric treatment of Kashmir barely garnered any attention. We're talking about the complete lockdown of over 7 million people (67% Muslim population), essentially erasing the statehood of India's only Muslim-majority state (Jammu and Kashmir). Its special status and autonomy had been enshrined in the constitution for various completely valid reasons. However, Modi's government has countless missteps outside his Hindutva predilections, which the population is willing to excuse. The Indian economic plunge is larger than any other nation, the economy contracting by roughly 25%; India was one of the world’s worst-performing economies prior to COVID-19, so we can't blame the pandemic here either.


This is patently false. Almost every statement. Standing up to Islamic terrorism and expression of Hindu ideology is of-course demonized to gloss over every transgression in the name of minority rights and then cry victimhood when Hindus retaliate? The revival of Hindutva can entirely be attributed to suppression of the Hindu rights that was endemic of every left leaning Govt since the Indian Independence to cater for minority votes. So much so that islamic terrorist activities, grooming, bullying etc was all swept under the rug for vote-bank appeasement. The Babri Mosque? Lmao. What just happended in the case of Hagia Sophia? There are 100s of mosques all over India, nay the world built on top of original places of worship after violent subjugation and genocide of local populations. Babri was one such for which the primary archeologist - which famously included a Muslim archeologist have confirmed

Finally, I'll wait for any citation of Hindu invasions in the past 10,000 years or so as opposed to the barbaric genocidal invasions imposed on the Indian sub-continent.

The NRC is something that is present in every damn country in the world. A citizen's register. Something that is essential to a modern state for distribution of govt resources, keeping track of citizen information etc. A nation state of 1.3 billion people cannot simply afford. to this day, citizenship hasn't been snatched from anyone. Again, it's clear from your statements that you prefer an anarchic leftist state where the Hindus are subjugated an ultimately wiped out.
I really dislike the man (Modi).

This statement says it all about your neutrality. You talk about Kashmir without mentioning the genocide of the Pandits and a complete lack of understanding of the the burden of terrorism in the valley.

India warned the world for decades about the dangers of islamic terrorism and suffered economic, political and humanitarian crises upon crises as a result. Finally after Sept 11 and other global terrorist attacks, Tony Blair and others accepted it.



Finally not a single word about state sponsored terrorism from the hotbed of jihad next to India - a failed nuclear state hell bent on wiping out Hindus (Wherein the minority population stands below 2%). A stark picture of genocide that the world has ignored. every day Hindu girls are kidnapped and poor Christians are accused of blasphemy to be executed. Guess the population trends of minorities in the 2 countries. In India, the minority population jumps from around 7% to more than 20%. whereas in Pakistan, it falls to below 2% from 25%. The refugee population in India went up by 17% according to the UNHRC. These also include the muslim rohingya whom the world ignored, but India took in despite the rohingya being anti-Hindu. Doesn't fit your agenda though.

Yet, you have the audacity to slander and spew such accusations. Finally, do you have any idea what the CAA is? The CAA offers quick statehood to the minorities being persecuted in the countries that border India. In-short you openly call for these people to be wiped out. Akin to Xi. slow clap.
If your only argument against the rise of human trash like Yogi Adityanath is 'retaliation', you're just swallowing their narrative. You see things in black and white. You seem pretty convinced.

People inflame and stoke tension when it suits their own ends, and Modi is very good at it. He postures himself however he needs to to get support. Right now it means being at the vanguard of Hindu nationalism. He's playing the game very well and you're playing yourself in the process if you're too in-step with his hardline supporters. Be wary of mass movements.

Who? The virus spreading, idiotic croissant eating fool?

He probably doesn’t even know much on what’s really happening and just shared something he thought was sentimental while sipping on his Champaign, meanwhile, our little SJWs here on realgm are all fired up on how evil China is, and how America could and will save the world is just **** hilarious LOL

Avoiding the complete mess here, but it will be interesting how this is addressed by the league and/or if there's some player backlash against Gobert. Or if China even knows enough about Gobert to take a stance on this.

I'm sure there'll be lots of wisecracks about his outdated defensive prowess among Chinese netizens.
