Can you name the apartheid state? A small state, established on the ruins of empire, that defines itself as the nation-state of one specific people. Its language, its symbols, its character are reserved by law for that people alone. A quarter of its population belongs to a different ethnic group. Many of them were born there. Their parents were born there. And yet the state refuses them citizenship. Instead, it issues them a special passport marking them as something less. They cannot vote. They are barred from entire categories of employment. A permanent, legally defined underclass, sorted by ethnicity and by when their families arrived. The state demands loyalty tests. Tens of thousands of members of this minority, elderly people among them, are ordered to prove their allegiance and their command of the ruling nation's language. Those who fail receive letters: leave within 30 days or be removed by force. Grandmothers who have lived in the same apartment for fifty years are told to pack. Those who refuse can be held in detention centers while the state processes their expulsion. The state didn't stop there. It shut down the minority's media outlets. It abolished education in their mother tongue, down to the last school. It demolished their monuments and memorials. It stopped admitting members of their ethnic group at the border. Officials openly describe all of this as protecting the demographic and cultural security of the majority nation. How many UN resolutions has this country received? How many ICJ hearings? How many sanctions bills are moving through Western parliaments right now? How many students are camped on university lawns for the grandmothers in detention? How many celebrities have posted the infographic? How many artists have cancelled their shows there? How many cities have voted to divest? When did you last see a documentary about the stateless quarter of its population? A hashtag? A march? A single foreign minister expressing even mild concern? The answer to every one of these questions is zero. The country is Latvia. EU member. NATO member. Funded by Brussels, defended by Western armies, criticized by no one. Everything above is happening right now, in 2026, inside the European Union. And now a few questions for the apartheid crowd. You. The ones with the word ready to go, the flags, the chants, the infographics. Where are you on this one? You didn't know? Or you knew and it didn't fit? You scream about second-class citizens. Latvia has them by law, a quarter of the country. Where's your tent? You cry about people being expelled from their homes. Latvia is deporting pensioners over a language exam. Where's your hashtag? You say you're against ethnostates. Here's one, official, funded by the EU. Where's your boycott list? Someone handed you a word, told you where to point it, and you pointed. You didn't check the facts then. You're not checking them now.
