I love this shit. As evidence of Chinese human rights abuses

  • Some teenagers were arrested and jailed for a month for spraypainting pro-Dalai Lama messages on a police station. Grafiti in NYC is a class A misdemeanor; You can get a year in jail or three years on probation

  • Some cops shot a nun. This is bad but the fact that they call out one specific instance, when compared to America, seems farcical.

They also quote Nazis and American missionaries on the conditions under Communist rule. Are those really the most reliable sources you can get, guys?

I don’t know much of anything about the history of Tibet or the Communist rule over ethnic Tibetan regions, but articles like this are so full of questionable sources with obvious conflicts of interest that it makes me sad laugh.

The implication being that Tibetan serfs wanted to be subject to torture and forced labor because of “muh culture”.

Tibetans are house elves and Mao was a hysterical Hermione trying to free them.

Hey, they do the same thing with America all the time, although at this point it is pretty indistinguishable round here.
