A new report by Human Rights Watch argues that the compulsory use of Chinese as the primary language in schools in Tibet raises “serious concerns under international human rights law”.

    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
