oh hell yeah, the lemmy liberals coming in HOT with the dehumanization again! are you gonna go to homophobia next? i can't wait for you to show your true colors. or are you gonna claim to be a "leftist" or even a "socialist" of some kind? must be the national socialist kind then.

edit: oh no, not the return of the impotent and ultimately ineffective downvotes! whatever shall i do? eat shit and die fascist, you pathetic fucking coward.

yeah i was hoping they'd try to reply and keep embarassing themselves

Wikipedia is an inherently biased pro-Western source. BBC is an inherently biased pro-Western source. The UN is an inherently biased pro-Western source. The United States Government is an inherently biased pro-Western source. The OSCE is an inherently biased pro-Western source. The Conversation is just a publication, that uses the UN report as its (inherently biased, pro-Western) source. The UN report itself provides no evidence for its claims. Throughout your sources is evident that no-one bothered to ask the Russians what's up with these allegations. So I'd concur this as whataboutism, as well as cope and seethe. Keep crying, fascist.

That is true, and I hope they too learn to break through their preprogramming. Remains to be seen I guess. Edit: going through their modlog, it seems they are an unrepentant racist and repeat offender shitslinger. I hope they continue eating shit.

edit: awww, i think they got scared

I replied too fast, got thrown off by you putting the global south into quotation marks. Why did you do that, what did you mean by that? I'm struggling to understand your points.

For what it's worth, my home country (in the EU) has some 550 000 immigrants living here, about 10% of the population. I suspect those are mostly people doing "shit jobs" (ie. cleaning, thrash management, other manual labor) that the locals refuse to do (because the work is hard and the pay is shit), preferring the status of labor aristocracy (ie. white collar jobs, tech sector etc.) and petit bourgeoisie (ie. small business ownership or other such) over those they see inherently lesser than them (as a consequence of the culture of white supremacy they grew up in). This would be aligned with European post-WWII culture of unequal exchange with the countries of the global south. I understand that these camps wouldn't be used (at least immediately) against already established labor force, but against "illegal immigration". My question would be who is responsible for determining which immigration is illegal and what is stopping them from narrowing the scope of legality (say, deporting LGTBQ+ people fleeing repression in Russia to some third country, thereby placing them in even more danger because immigration from Russia can be deemed illegal at will). Even more disturbing is the (imo) very real possibility of the EU sinking ever deeper into the same kind of fascism as contemporary US, and eventually using these same processes of deportation to silence and remove internal dissidence (eg. anti-war, pro-socialism).

Btw, it is not the "bourgeoisie" where anti immigration parties are the strongest but their stronghold is among the working class, interestingly not limited to those without immigration background.

Again with the quotation marks. But indeed, it is thanks again to the white-supremacist culture in which these anti-immigration working class people have grown. There is an important sentence in the communist manifesto: "The ideology of all hitherto existing societies is the ideology of the ruling class". This ruling class in capitalist societies is the bourgeoisie. This page and that part especially explains the concept of ideologies in Marxism and its contradictions within the working class.

My comment wasn't based on the current existence of European deportation camps, or even their stated use. But when capital goes into a crisis and the contradictions within capitalist societies heighten, what I wrote could as well eventually come to be. Who do you think were the first ones into Nazi concentration camps, or what kind of a society was the one from which Nazism awoke, or whose colonial practices those camps were based on? History doesn't always repeat, but it sure does rhyme.

Edit: I see many downvotes, but zero replies or elaborations. Curious. If you have replied, then I have blocked you previously. You can keep eating shit.

One-way ticket into a concentration camp in an undisclosed third country in the global south. Brought to you by the liberal, rules-based world order of the EU, I remember reading about the legislature surrounding this (possibly earlier this year, but weeks are like decades sometimes). The US is on the back-foot, throwing its various vassals under the proverbial bus to save its own ass, and in the wake the EU is receding to fascism to protect the capital and bourgeois rule. The situation in Europe seems increasingly unstable, as rioting swells in multiple countries with leaders in France at least unwilling to make really any concessions to the people, whose problems are consequences of the bourgeoisie's actions. The bourgeoisie here has been calling for increased military spending to make the continent ready for war by 2030, though they call it "preparing for invasion" to manufacture consent for increased military spending as a way out. In reality that spending will be used to further surveil and control you to prevent the people from organizing against the state, and to empower and arm the police to be used against the people in future riots. The bourgeoisie will never consider the working class's well-being over their own class's well-being.

Rules-based order at work, nothing to see here.

^rules for thee, but not for meeee^

(in the sense that the germ of fascism exists within all capitalist societies, and comes out when capital is in crisis)

Old money, new money... the problem is capitalism, the answer is proletariat organizing. It's true though, many people in Europe see the problems of unfettered capitalism in America, but somehow seem to fail to consider that it could, will and is happening here also.

It is evident that there are people capable of thinking around the Euro elites. But time after time they seemingly decide to trust their own judgement better than the experts, and just double down on "exploit the working class". But then again, as long as people keep obeying (voting) nothing will change.
