Im sure the uyghurs and tibetans see it differently

EDIT: \s

LOL
The horrible feodal system with serfs/slaves the Tibetans has was sooo much better.
Some CIA poking didn't work to bring that back.
And there was a small minority radicalised terrorists by Turkey and OC again the CIA to cause trouble, which they did.
blew up a plane with civilians, multiple other attacks on busses, trainstations, etc....
The majority never liked them and are glad it's over.
But nice try.

What, did a suicide happen years ago in a country you don't like? Quick, use that as a weak excuse to throw mud.
I'm sure suicide doesn't happen in companies from the fascist US, where they have to pee in bottles.
Sometimes a known fascist boss demands to keep his Tesla factory open in full covid peak and his slaves get sick and die.
Plenty of them die homeless or from drugs anyway.
No paid sick days, universal healthcare, unemployment, etc. Really a pathetic 3rd world country.
Not to mention no other regime puts more of its citizens in jail.

This is the embarrassing US banana republic.
Want to try again?

Not sure what you're trying to say. Uyghurs are systematically eradicated and tibet is controlled by china since their invasion in the 1950s. Not exactly speaking in favor of communism.

So, if you'd like to expand on your point, I might be able to discuss this further.

eradicated LOL, their population is growing, despite the many some US backed terrorist killed.
And Tibet doesn't have slaves anymore who literally had chains around their necks suffering under the religious buddhist monks terror.
Yawn, can you bring up Tiananmen square again to not be original? I'll wait

According to who? The chinese government? Lmao. Ye I would DEFINITELY trust the ones that are performing the killings on reporting accurate numbers.

And Tibet doesn’t have slaves anymore who literally had chains around their necks suffering under the religious buddhist monks terror.

Imperialism good when country does bad things?

Yawn, can you bring up Tiananmen square again to not be original? I’ll wait

I could, but if you want some originality, I can also bring up one of the other atrocities directly ordered by communist regimes, like the Prague Spring, Hungarian Revolution or the mass executions by the Khmer in Cambodia.

I don't need to prove something that didn't happen which isn't possible, you show me proof of your fantasy eradication that isn't from the sick nutbag Adrian Zenz. Must be easy if it's such a genocide.

Imperialism good when country does bad things?

Hypocrisy good in the name of bringing democracy.

oh, the khmer rouge, that one that the u.s. supported along with britain, china (not so dirty back then, right) and who were toppled by the socialist regime of vietnam?

[–] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip -3 points 5 hours ago

I already answered that to someone else so I'll just copy and paste it:

The US never directly supported pol pot. Before 1975, they supported Lon Nol, who was fighting against the communist Khmer Rouge.

The part that IS true is that the US did support China and Thailand at the time, which in turn used that aid to support resistance groups in cambodia because vietnam invaded cambodia in 1979 - something the US had no problem with since vietnam was backed by the soviets. Also, it is true that the US and other western countries supported keeping the Khmer Rouge as Cambodia’s official UN representative, however, that was mostly done to undermine Vietnam’s rule over cambodia.

So, yes, by extension, the US supported pol pot, but it’s not the big “gotcha” you think it is - it was the cold war, an extremely complex geopolitical time.

[–] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 0 points 5 hours ago
