Unknown - Deportation

— Is t hat written in the charter?

— It reads: “From the moment of birth, the government guarantees every citizen's basic rights, as well as their complete and unconditional protection”.

— But parents also have rights — said Sekar — it is their child.

— The charter states: "no one has any rights on another person, except in the case of compulsory civil restrictions and compensation".

— So you're saying that my child is not really mine?

— Yours, but not in the same sense as your chair. You can saw a leg off your chair, but your child...

— Brrr. Jella, you really go far with examples!

— A little exaggeration for clarity — she explained — bringing a child up in the tradition of Puritanism , or say, Parsism, creates a disability. It objectively deprives a person from the ability to adequately communicate with peers, to receive full education, to participate in social and cultural life, to find a decent job. Children are people, not their parents' property. They are protected by the government. The government is obliged to intervene in to family matters as it is necessary for the protection of individual rights, as the Charter says.

— But ... — tried to insert the reporter.

Jella stopped him with a warning gesture.

— Do not interrupt, Malik. Yes, the government actions are tough, but we have virtually no domestic violence. Humanitarian organizations even suspected us for cheating and collected independent statistics. They had to admit: we are ahead of the entire world by a wide margin. Then, they suspected us of excessive government pressure on families, but turned out that we have a lot less of that than other countries. Finally, we were accused of total suppression of cultural communities. In response, coordinator Nakamura published the communique of the government, from which I will read a small quote.

She poked into her electronic notebook:

— Yeah, that one: "The Charter only recognizes a person as the subject of rights. If any group of people wishes to assert their collective rights , they form a corporation, representing only those registered in it, and only on issues they have delegated to it. Ethnic or religious affiliation is not a membership in a corporation. This implies no one can claim the rights of an ethnic or religious group and speak on behalf of all people belonging to it . Statements of this kind will be ignored by the government" . The e nd. The Supreme Court found the communiqué true to the Charter and within the government contract.

Sekar shook his head:

— That's really tough.

— Yo! — Agreed Jella — but the approach paid off. The government is openly wholly unconcerned about the requirements allegedly emanating from all Hindus, all Christians , or all Europeans, and it turned out the so-called " all of them" are a bunch of political manipulators. Their views are not shared by the majority of their cultural community. Everything got much simpler. F or an example , consider the case with the papal encyclical on eugenics.

— Yes, Sen Vlkov mentioned it.

Jella nodded and continued:

— In the aftermath , most individuals belonging to cultural communities were also cured from the " all of them " illusions . There were studies of the spectrum of opinions. Increasingly, the t eenagers are talking about the general Meganesian culture which has contributions from Europeans and Africans, Chinese and Indians, all ethnic groups, cultures , and religions, that were being mixed for over 200 years.

— Yes, probably — agreed Sekar — when I blurted out about separate Aboriginal culture, Jr. Vlkov looked at me like I was a moron, and cursed me in utafoa.

— What did you expect? This is like saying that Shakespeare's sonnets are a separate culture of the British.

— You got me confused. We say that our culture is not protected at all, but on the contrary, it is protected better than anywhere else.

— What, ruff her jets , protection! — she burst out — the culture is the life of the society, and it is inseparable from the society itself. As long as the society is alive, nothing can happen to its culture. Try messing with the culture, and the society will trample over you .

— Then why are there acts for cultural rights protection ? — asked the reporter.

— Because some states don’t like the culture which their society produces and consumes naturally. Just look into what gets protected under the guise of culture! Not Homer, not Shakespeare, not even Mickey Mouse.

— That’s right. Then what actually is protected?

— That's the right question, bro — approved Jella — what is protected is not something that the society needs, but what those who speak on behalf of “all of them” wish to be protected . We solved th e problem firmly, while the Western politicians folded at the face of a bunch of crooks and mentally handicapped scum. They chickened out and are trying to get away with it through tolerance. As in, let's pretend that we do not notice their mental infirmity . To avoid conflicts, we indulge these freaks in everything they want. Let us avoid anything that could offend them. The inevitable result: ordinary people have to behave as if they too were mentally mutilated. A tolerant society is built to suit the freaks. The norm gets considered a deformity and deformity — a social norm. You know, bro, what's the reason for the scandal around the "troglodytes children"?

— I'm not sure. You tell me.

— Okay, I will. There — Jella waved in the direction of sunset — various freaks are used to that in a humane post-industrial society everybody gets out of their skin to suit them. No fucking fundamentalist would show off like that in Vietnam. There they have a Marxist industrial technocracy, and if you try it — she took her forefinger at his forehead — bang-bang and that’s it. And here they came to expect everything to be built for them. They can only dream.

— But what does all that have to do with Committee 48 ?

— Everything. The report they published reads : the Charter has sixteen contradictions with UN regulations on family and cultural rights, and it recommended the General Assembly to take economic sanctions against Meganesia until the contradictions are eliminated. Without this report they would not be brought to trial, as we respect the freedom of speech. This is a public call for the destruction of the Charter.

— What, do you think the sanctions could take place ?

Jella thoughtfully moved the cup around the table.

— God knows, I’m no expert. In my opinion, they don’t have the guts.

— Of course. Can you answer a few questions about yourself?

— Easily. What do you want to know?

— G eneral stuff: family, hobbies, religion.

— Depends on what you call family. At least, that's me and my three year old son. But , as I'm a mobile girl, he spends a lot of time with my mother and her third husband, the dad , and his second wife, or my ex-boyfriend, his biological father. To tell the truth, Andy, the guy with whom I basically live, prefers us to be more involved with the boy. He’s making sense, because if we go for another child (and why not?), the experience ...

— Stop, stop — Sekar helplessly raised his hands — I'm confused.

— No wonder. I sometimes get confused myself.

— Um, can I write this: lives in a large family, has a son?

— OK. What else? Hobby: diving. Religion: Catholicism.

— Catholicism? — said the reporter with surprise — are you a Catholic?

— So what? After all, why should there — Jella jabbed a finger up — not be someone who created this cool universe.

— No, but let’s say, you don’t really look like ...

— Bullshit. The Catholic Church teaches he — she again pointed up — doesn’t give a crap . He ’s got a decent sense of humor after all .
