Big brain take: I trust China to setup overnight some separate independent socialist state but I don’t trust China to actually govern the region like it has done for over 50 years now.
Please spend at least 2s thinking about the actual outcome here for the people involved in the struggle against imperialism.
1-Tibet becomes socialist “independent” satellite.
2-China vows to support the socialist government at all costs.
3-Suddenly like nobody could ever see this coming a “”““movement””“” starts crying for DEMOCRACY so now they ask big brother USA to help them because big bad China is literaly holding Tibet as a satellite state you know because the Tibetan people deserve DEMOCRACY or some shit.
Result: China gets balkanized but still has to support this territory for security and ideological reasons. Sounds great to me we should ask the Tibetan people if they want independence right away…
Not like me and my big brain that thinks Tibet will massively improve materially and socially by being thrown overnight into the hungry mouths of the big wolf called global capitalism.
I mean poverty is decreasing world wide so maybe it would be best for Tibet to go at it alone! I am sure I can find some great white male saviour Bill Gates tweet to support my thesis.
The right to free speech, cultural heritage, and movement are good things.

There is always this pattern with concern trolls, they 99% have no clue of what they are talking about, like as if this is a competition for Xi bucks instead of understanding the entire historical and material context at play here.
It’s monetarily beneficial to the capitalist class of China to have Xinjiang as a region which has lots of resources as well as a gateway out of China for the Belt and Road Initiative which is imperialism…
BRI is imperialism because creating a trading network with other third world countries(some of which are under constant military aggression from western imperialist powers) outside of and as an alternative to the main capitalist world economic market is fucking imperialism. The word may as well be removed from the dictionary.
I guess this Thought Amoeba also thinks China is imperialist in Africa and LA, something something predatory loans. What a waste of time I wish I could forget this single cell organism exists after reading this post, but I wont be able now because his name now reminds me he is a main character of a fucking anime.
Berniecrats tend to not understand imperialism or completely support it through ways they think is different than right wingers. The difference between saying that putting kids in immigrant cages is bad but unilateral bombings in the middle east is good is superficial, from the point of view of the victim both are fascist actions.
Casual viewer only reads the headline. They see “ChinA BAaAaaD!!1!!” 116262x gold whatever the fuck medal shit. Even if the comments are against the title it doesn’t matter.
Like hypothetically speaking the way to stop world news type subs from being anti china would be complete deplatforming of anti-china related “”“news”“”(read: 95% of the time some bullshit article about some bullshit report made by CIA intern or Zens) by deletion or straight downvotes. Otherwise all the users see is that anti-china content is good and well received by the community.
Nah I rather spend my time wondering how many Einsteins died at the age of 5 because they were born into a starving African family with another 20 children and where humanity would be without capitalism.
Yep it is one instance of Trek where the liberal tendencies create a plot point far more dramatic than it should be in reality though it is somewhat understandable because they want drama and the stereotype is that it is hard to create drama in TNG era trek so what bigger drama then lets create this artificial reason as to why thousands/millions of people must suddenly leave their “homes” while of course barely providing a deep analysis on the issue.
For me though nevertheless the most hated arc for me is the Eddington arc on DS9 simply because Sisko behaves like a shitty spoiled child. The allegory to moby dick is too on the nose and in the real world I’d say “hey if you want to leave the Federation so badly don’t call us when you get genocided by the racist xenophobic alien race next door, the universe doesn’t give a shit about human morality.”
Instead Eddington is absolutely right and comes across as a great character(despite being on the shitty side of the cause), Sisko is pretending he cares about justice when the reality was “nobody leaves the goddamn federation ever” and I’d just say Sisko baby chill nobody gives a fuck about the random officer that defected and ended up being eaten alive by a random Gorn or whatever.
I hope the OP isn’t serious. Pretty sure the sample size on most of those countries is like half a dozen people. I mean where the fuck do you go to find some Peruvian food without going so completely out of your way. And the more out of your way you have to go to eat something the more likely it is you will have some extreme opinion about it(e.g you ate it because you were with a friend that forced you, or you had this unique opportunity to eat at some exotic restaurant once but the experience was either great or horrible).
In short I would refrain from being a bigot and calling entire nations racist because the whole dozen or so people surveyed by this random western said they didn’t like [insert random cousine from country across the planet here].
I mean if you actually look at this graph all you are seeing is that the Indonisia/Thai/China/Japan all dislike everything that isn’t local or completely generic western(Italian = pizza, American = McDonald).
There are too many leftists that take only the bad traits and use that to discard the whole thing. Anime as if it is all the same which is just sad.
Yeah it is often reactionary. Have you looked at Japan? And it often has shitty themes, yep clearly most of it is made to appeal to Japanese middle aged salarymen/NEET virgins because they spent their entire teenage years cramming for some shitty exam and then spent their adult years working 16h a day in an office full of men.
So yeah there are some very shitty anime and this causes some people to disregard the whole genre and so when there are some very great anime they wont know or care about it. Ah yes and when they say “anime” they tend to forget Miyazaki shit is the same “anime” as [generic teenage incest romcom] so that is always fun to see the double standard.
But anime is sort of taboo because it is too niche, so it is easy to hate and not feel like you are missing anything. Some people are just hypocrites too given that by if they used the same metrics to judge other media they would also have to give up like 80% of all movies and TV not just because of the reactionary/lib dominated world but because Hollywood is literally pedophile/rapist paradise. And the music industry as well unless you fancy financing exploitative record labels that fuck over artists.
It is a hell world, if you hate things to the point of not considering it beyond the surface level and appearances then you’ll just alienate yourself, become miserable, never consume or do anything because everything is never more than a few steps away from a connection to straight fascism or liberalism(or both).
As for anime, anyone that cares enough to watch the good stuff wont have problems finding it just pick any Kyoto stuff or any of the recent popular movies etc…
Also China is making their own original anime too so that is a struggle session coming to you soon.
