What I don't get about the CCP shills is why they think I would trust the Chinese government when I don't even trust my own government.

The amount of people here using EXACTLY the same disgusting reasoning that 19th century Europeans used for genocide is... well disgusting.

It's always the same with the propagandists:

• Tibet does not exist and there's nothing going on there, it's western propaganda (Tibet has existed for a long time, China invaded Tibet, there's information from reliable sources genocide is happening)
• if there's something going on it's good for the tibetans and they want it (tibetans themselves have right to decide what they want, and they don't seem to want to be genocided)
• their savage culture needs to be civilized anyway (this is just racism and imperialism to justify genocide and erasure of people)
• the leadership of Tibet is corrupt and Dalai Lama is on the epstein list so they need to be liberated (you can't just invade your neighbors even if they have problems)
• big list of how "the west" has done bad things (others doing bad things too doesn't justify doing them yourself)
• random reasons why it's not genocide (erasure of culture is genocide by the definitions of genocide)

edit// oh, and next is personal attacks towards people going against their propaganda lmao. Here's some facts to save some time if anyone wants to look for some faults to discredit me: I'm not american but finnish and I do not support their fascist idiots in power, my country did not colonize anyone (we were the poor losers), we allied with the nazis in ww2 because everyone was allied with soviets and left us at their mercy as a collateral (and we backstabbed the nazis the moment it was a better course of action), I do not support Israel and the genocide of palestinians needs to stop, Russia invaded Ukraine and is genociding there

Oh, and I do not hate chinese people or culture in any capacity, it's their leadership that's responsible. I am just very much against genocide, no matter who is doing it

A new report by Human Rights Watch argues that the compulsory use of the Tuscan dialect as the primary language in schools in Italy raises “serious concerns under international human rights law”. At the time of adoption, only 2.5% of the population spoke Italian. This ongoing cultural genocide of 2 centuries has led to some not knowing their own regional dialect, and in some extreme cases, to people from different Italian regions understanding each other!!1

Yes, this news is so silly, that applying the same logic in Europe makes it read like an Onion article.

Am I in r/sino?

Eradicating one culture deemed medieval and feudalistic and replacing it with a ethnosupremacist form of feudalist capitalism disguised in a pseudo-Maoist wrapper... Standard fare in the Pooh World where what the Hans are doing is "liberation". Not only that, the Tibetan plateau is like a smorgasbord for Mainlander corporations looking for rare-earth resources, so there comes the program of forced assimilation which is no more different from banishing all Palestinians from their lands.

(BTW, Israel sold to China some several key technologies, including early-warning radar.)

Man, so much whataboutism.

How about we stop deliberately killing off cultures?
