Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Racist choice of wording. Forced to learn a native language after experiencing an invasion in less than a lifetime.

Interesting

You understand Tibet was not invaded right? Just like the US was not invaded by the French during the revolutionary war.

You're right Tibet isn't even real. Avatar the Last Airbender isn't an allegory to anything.

Hahahaha China's imperialism is always like "the Chinese army arrived, the enemy laid down their guns and embraced their saviors. There was 90,000 less Tibetans two years later"

And you think anybody buys it.

It's like the fishermen vessels shit they pull, tiananmen square, "color revolutions" it's so childish. Absolutely pathetic and transparent.

The Tibetan civil war is an extensively documented historical event. Until the 1980s it wasn't even controversial that China aided the popular uprising against the Child Rapist theocracy in charge. Even then the current propaganda line is 'it wasn't even a real civil war, it was instigated by communists living in the country knowing they'd get Russian and Chinese support.'

The propaganda has never been 'there was no civil war china, despite being incredibly vulnerable and weak having just won its own civil war and recovering from the early days cut off by the Western world for choosing communism, just decided to invade a country randomly for imperialism despite not having a national identity yet that would imply imperialism.

Your misunderstanding, or total ignorance of history does not mean there's a magical conspiracy from those evil communist slurs.
