      Did he say “Han supremacy is okay”, or did he say that Tibet was historically a feudalist society with a cast system and slavery?

          Tibet wasn’t colonized, its people were liberated. The people of Tibet were not “homogenized” as they still practice their language and customs. You know history only through the lens of imperialism, and it shows.

            I think it’s probably a little from column “A” and a little from column “B”…China did invade and annex Tibet against the will of the inhabitants, and it’s pretty messed up that China is controlling the appointment of the high level Lama’s, and they’re probably disappearing dissidents in typical fashion…but “Han Supremacy” is clearly employed as an inflammatory and divisive term, and it’s probably an overstatement for what has actually gone on.

            Now I want to learn how you liberate a group of people without colonist intentions. Show me anticolonial historical liberations.

              Seeing this, I apologize for losing my cool and getting frustrated with her. I’ve deleted some of my comments. Sometimes I need to do a better job remembering the human, and with disengaging when things are unproductive.

      Whataboutism.

      Also what he said was 100% correct, and it’s no more “Han supremacist” than the Union ending slavery in the Confederacy was “Northern supremacist.” The analogy is on point. Slave states don’t have the right to exist.

        Yet slavery exists, in both, China, and US.
        Do you think private prisons are for rehabilitation?

          Hopefully, we will someday reach the point where prison slavery is automatically delegitimizing the way we have with chattel slavery and serfdom. But are you really trying to say that those are equally bad? Do you think the Civil War was pointless, then? Was the South justified in fighting back since the North hadn’t abolished prisons?

          Also, China doesn’t have private prisons.

              And the South will rise again! Free the Confederacy! Amirite?

              Cry more about this ending, along with your favorite theocracy:

              Stand up! Those who are unwilling to become slaves!

                Instead of reflecting no liberation has been made, you rather sockpuppet something I “have not said.” Do you even have morals?

                  You didn’t answer my question and just diverted to slogans.

                  Do you think the Civil War was pointless, then? Was the South justified in fighting back since the North hadn’t abolished prisons?

                  If you refuse to answer, don’t complain if I assume your answer.
