Fair. How do you propose a vote looks like? Who gets to vote and who doesn’t?
Say a specific ethnicity is 2% of the population in Sweden and they want a separate country. How do you propose the vote goes through? Who gets a say in this?
- lostmsu 4y agoThat's too many questions in a completely made up scenario. If you see a problem with the person, name it. But being a separatist is at most stupidity depending on circumstances. Can't jail for that.
- darth_avocado 4y agoThat’s not a made up scenario. Sikhs are less than 2% of the population of India. And the Khalistani movement does not even represent majority of the Sikhs in India. And the movement has a notorious past of conducting violent activities that can be described with the T word. So it’s not at most stupidity. The stakes are higher. And you can be jailed for being associated with that. I’d welcome any debate and am open to changing my mind, but you’ll have to answer questions that do matter before you dismiss them.
- lostmsu 4y agoThere's nothing to argue about. The fact that "being associated with a movement" is a crime you can be jailed for just shows you live in a totalitarian country. Every single movement has violent elements, that's not a sufficient ground to jail for participation.
