  • American Internet MLs when someone defends colonization by criticizing the prior systems of the colonized people: "Let colonized people dedcide their own fate! >:( "

    American Internet MLs when someone criticizes China’s colonization of Tibet: “[5000 characters criticizing prior systems in Tibet]”

    I just want some consistency. Why is it liberation when China does it to Tibet but colonization when America does it to Afghanistan/South America/everywhere else? Fuck em both bro

    Also have you ever noticed that criticisms of Tibet’s former systems always rely on the secondary source of The Timely Rain, an account written by foreign travelers in Tibet? (Or, as MLs might call someone who travels to Asia to do this today, written by “colonizers”?) Why is that perspective okay with you, enough to justify China’s actions?


















  • Thank you @talklittle for having that app for so long

    I didn’t believe it would really go down until I saw it myself

    Tried using Firefox for Android w/ Adblock for about 1 night and the user experience was as bad as using Lemmy, a site buckling under expanding user growth and in its infancy in development. So I said “Well, I might as well just use Lemmy”.
