My headline is more about my previous post about India.
However, this article from the NYRB shows us how the Modi regime in India is all about moves that are consistent with how Fascists rule. The law discussed in the article reflects the Modi regime's clear intent to divide working class and poor Indians through religion. It is a law designed to promote hate. For Modi to do this, on top of letting Pakistan know it is interested in a war-diversion against Pakistan, shows how much Modi and the economic royalists fear this workers/farmers' uprising. It is inspiring workers at an Apple factory in India to stand up--and not be afraid of causing property damage or worse.
What is happening in India right now is THE international story. The singular fact MSNBC and CNN are not covering what has been happening over the past three weeks (!)--and how they promote themselves as 24/7 news channels tells anyone all they needed to know about the propaganda system in the United States, practiced through corporate media. What they want you to discuss and know, and what they don't want you to discuss and know.
But, watch. If there is coverage of what happened at the Apple contractor (I love that, "contractor") factory, the coverage will decidedly tilt toward the corporate globalist perspective. You can bet dollars to donuts on that.
