That’s… what I said? Liberated. Like China did to Tibet. And Russia is doing to Ukraine. For what is liberty if not being forcibly subjected to the laws of a foreign government asserting that the land and populace is theirs by divine/historical/imagined right? Sure Hong Kong governed itself perfectly well before Britain unclenched their greedy imperialist hands. And sure, China agreed to let Hong Kong continue to govern itself afterwards. But when it comes down to it, those people belong to China. They needed to be liberated from the idea that they were independent. Had those protestors simply submitted to The Party, a lot of hubbub could have been avoided.
Should I lay it on thicker, or would an /s suffice? My internal Poe’s Law is having a field day with this.
haha, nah, it’s because we’ve had tankies who unironically say that stuff
At least you’re aware of your shortcomings.
On the fediverse there are A LOT of tankies who unironically would call it a liberation.
yup
And US to Venezuela, Iran and soon Greenland, or Israel to Libanon, Gaza and Cisjordania… Every imperialist countries are the same, including the western side. So it’s hard to give any lesson…
Only if your stance demands that one “side” can do no wrong while the other “side” is cartoonishly evil. Otherwise the lesson is pretty simple. Don’t simp for states.
