India is so petty, they are really doing this based on nationalist vibes instead of being rational. U.S. isnt doing shit, they need India against China. Maybe Canada's attitude would be a bit different from now on sure.

It is also to be noted that there are plenty of Indian origin Canadian citizens within Canada who have families in India. This will make it difficult for them.

India has stopped issuing visas to Canadian citizens on Thursday.

The global south should start subjecting Westoids to the same visa application humiliation non-Westerners get put through.

Gonna be interesting to see this whole situation shakes out. India pulled a Kashogi and it remains to be seen whether the Western blob sees India as being on the same level of strategic importance as Saudi Arabia.

100-com. Realistically, it wouldn't harm the working class of the West much since we're too fucking poor to travel anyhow. Wealthy white people are the most common "tourists" from the West.

I love the empire's splintering. There's cracks that won't hold forever, so collapsing relations from in-fighting serve to accelerate the weakening of the liberal world's hegemony, and I'm here for it sit-back-and-enjoy

I once saw a man get mad to the point of yelling at embassy staff because the Chinese visa form asked him to declare his income. Not prove it or anything, just write down a fucking number.

Conversely Chinese Nationals applying for a visa to visit his country need to provide pay slips and tax records to prove that they have money.

American exceptionalism. They believe everyone owes them a red carpet, limousines, a VIP room and blowjobs on demand.

I'm going to relish every single second of the hysteria coming from those types as their hegemonic privileges wither away with the rise of China and the Global South.

They were incredibly butthurt when China increased qualification requirements and background checks for English teachers to renew their visas. A lot of them left and have been sour grapesing since then. Heart warming to see.

A non-white nation surpassing the West in all respects, while the latter stews in arrested national development and full-spectrum decay.

They have nothing more to say, really. China is physical and social proof of a superior form of governance by the proletariat. Hell, even a single video from the channel Living in China is enough to shut people up and shatter Cold War world views in most cases. What can you honestly say when the proof is just right in front of you? The narratives would have to become increasingly cartoony and absurd.. and they are.. and it's not working anymore.

China doesn't need the imperialist countries anymore. Too fucking bad for them. They don't get to be the masters and keep their boots on everyone's necks anymore. Their race theory is also shot to shit now, so they've lost pretty much everything they used to rely on to legitimize themselves.

This is even worse then Khashoggi, though. Man's a Canadian citizen on Canadian land. This is a gross violation of Canadian sovereignty, not just a "bad government" sorta thing.

The existence of "Canada" is an ongoing gross violation of the sovereignty of the First Nations. Violating the sovereignty of "Canada" is morally the same as stealing from a thief.

This is a personal moral take irrelevant to the geopolitic situation at hand though

Regardless, the parent's comment comparing this to Khashoggi's assassination is also irrelevant because the West just used the opportunity as a propaganda win to boost their soft power and diplomatically pressure KSA. This situation however, is Canada being shown by India that they are not afraid of Ottawa and will do whatever they want regardless of the consequences

My geopolitical take on Canada:

But yeah, geopolitically this one is worse than Kashogi and the Russian polonium poisoning on UK territory. That being said, Western countries have repeatedly demonstrated nothing but comtempt for the sovereignty of all other countries, so showing overt respect for the sovereignty of western countries strikes the same as the KKKrakas and their crocodile tears for Afrikaners.
