American Internet MLs when someone defends colonization by criticizing the prior systems of the colonized people: "Let colonized people dedcide their own fate! >:( "
American Internet MLs when someone criticizes China's colonization of Tibet: "[5000 characters criticizing prior systems in Tibet]"
I just want some consistency. Why is it liberation when China does it to Tibet but colonization when America does it to Afghanistan/South America/everywhere else? Fuck em both bro
Also have you ever noticed that criticisms of Tibet's former systems always rely on the secondary source of The Timely Rain, an account written by foreign travelers in Tibet? (Or, as MLs might call someone who travels to Asia to do this today, written by "colonizers"?) Why is that perspective okay with you, enough to justify China's actions?
Oh please, buzz off with your faux-clever "all reporting is bad" cynicism. Do you really see no difference between what the NYPost publishes and other news sources? Yes it's a corporate machine but you have to be willfully ignorant to think that WaPo posting anti-union editorials is in the same boat as NYPost clickbait
