AlcoholicornAre you suggesting the Tibeten people weren’t liberated from the slave-owning class? That they should have just let the Lamas practice slavery forever?
lumpenproletariatWhen you find yourself defending literal slave owners maybe take a step back and reevaluate how you got here.
I don’t defend slave owners, but you do defend genocide. I’ll pass on taking any life from advice from someone like that.
Tibet is free, they have representation and everything.
I do not defend genocide because there is no genocide happeningright here in Xinjiang, you just refuse to believe you’ve been lied to. No investigation, no right to speak.
Tibet is not an independent country.
Neither is Ohio, what’s your point?
Seeing a KFC that serves coffee and no biscuits, and ordering what I thought was orange juice, but turned out to be piping hot orange soda made me want to leave this country.
You know I haven’t personally seen ICE in my city; I guess that means there is no genocide or imperialism happening here either. Guess America isn’t imperialist after all lol
Thanks to your comment I just realized tankies are basically MAGA overseas. Both share love of dictatorships and are ultranationalists who fall heavy into the cult of personality, and also drink the koolaid just as hard as MAGA do about what the dear leader and party tells them to believe.
explodicleNobody is arguing that the USA isn’t imperialist.
Right, which begs two questions…
Why all the smoke for China when it’s obvious the US is much more so?
Do you think it would be better if we allowed the confederacy to exist? You deflected to “both sides”. What do you believe here?
ZagorathYou deflected to “both sides”.
lol what? You were the one who initiated the whataboutism here.
I think they’re both in the right. I want to know if you think the confederacy should exist. Pleasd elaborate
I’m not here to discuss the merits of the argument. Especially not with someone engaging in such obvious bad-faith reasoning.
I think you mean “raises the question”.
It’s not obvious that all the smoke is for China. We get so much American politics on Lemmy that everyone else is sick of it and sets up filters. This meme in particular is about China.
No. I think if it wasn’t imperialist, the USA would’ve done a better job at Reconstruction. In case you need an obligatory condemnation, the USA has the world’s largest prison population and still practices slavery.
There are other countries that are neither imperialist nor slavers.
Sure, that only strengthens the argument that the US should have been even more “authoritarian”; prosecuted more slavers for their crimes against humanity, pay out reparations, control the narrative about the civil war (or rather, don’t allow southern states to teach it with the lies by omission).
TheFririshI know I’m late to the party but you’re arguing with a known tankie. I would suggest block and move on. No need to read pure propaganda and lies.
