I get what you mean. Perspective makes it hard sometimes to not compare the third world experience to the grievances of those in the imperial core and not feel a sense of resentment. However, at the end of the day I don't wish hardship on you or anyone.

I will admit I got a quite upset seeing your initial comment due to my own personal experience, and I apologize for coming across so hostile.

But I will maintain that, while your concerns are not unjustified, should you be deported, you will be at worst an annoying car ride/train journey away from seeing your friends again. As well as those places and things you have grown attached to over the years you've been an immigrant, and even your work, as due to the Schengen zone, you could even still do the same job and commute between the countries. And at worst, should you be totally banned from entering for whatever reason, your friends can still take that short ride over and see you.

For many deported people, like myself, especially those sent back to the global south, we are left economically crippled and have to start over with almost nothing, knowing that we will likely NEVER return to the life, people, and everything else we were made to leave behind.

Even thinking about it today, years later, makes me so irrationally upset and depressed, knowing I'll likely never return and see my friends again, due to both the sheer distance, and the sheer economic unlikelihood of such a thing. I guess seeing these kinds of "first world" worries makes me feel a rage at the sheer injustice that I am subjected to, just because of where I happened to be born.

Mate.. you would be deported from Belgium to the Netherlands... thats absolutely nothing. Take it from someone who's actually been deported, you will never know the half of it.

People have to remember that the US democratic party is practically a private business. They can, for whatever reason they want, simply decide to ignore the primary result and pick someone else. I would not put it past them.

A lot of Muslims you'll see online, particularly on social media and on these political topics, are only in it for sectarian reasons, they are whipped up into such a frenzy by mostly comprador outlets like Al Jazeera and Middle East eye, that they genuinely would condemn pro Palestinian forces if given some stupid religious reason, as they did with the Syrian Arab republic, and as they very well may with Mamdani.

So? Plenty of Cuban gusanos left as kids, and plenty more were born to gusano families abroad, and that never stopped them from being the most reactionary and hawkish clowns of all time. If anything, being raised by people who willingly ran to the US when the fascist Shah's regime fell is probably a guarantee that you're going to turn out exactly like them, and possibly worse, since you were not old enough to actually understand what the country was like, and are easier to brainwash when sitting in your house in California.

Just like how china is supposed to collapse surely next year, we have the Indian version, which is:

Superpower by ~~2020~~, ~~2030~~, ~~2040~~ and so on.

So it's not a hate crime as long as you belong to the same language family. Don't tell this guy about the Balkan wars, lmao.

Damn, and actual Marxist Leninist party. Wonder how long before the inevitable coup.

I saw that apparently they had him speak right before JB Pritzker. Which has to have been some sort of deliberate humiliation ritual.

Sanders was up there talking about how they needed to get rid of big money in politics, and the guy who speaks right after him is bragging and saying "I'm a real billionaire, unlike Trump" then getting a massive round of cheers.

It's mind boggling to me that lemmygrad is the only place I've yet seen anyone show some sort of respect for a world leader dying in a violent accident. Everywhere in the media and online all I'm seeing is people glad he's dead. As if he's ever done anything to any of us to deserve that.

Kerala is not "Completely communist", from what I know about the situation there its governed by a broadly left wing coalition with the main Communist party as the leader, and they are very limited in what they can actually do because of the constraints from the federal government.
