Bill that frames Beijing’s control over Tibet for centuries as ‘disinformation’ will head to President Joe Biden’s desk.

    So, if any of your local religious leaders is a pedophile you lose your right to self determination? That will massively reduce the number of sovereign countries. To 0.

      If that happens good? Why do we think having countries and borders that creates strife a good thing? If we eliminate all borders and are just humanity I see that as an absolute win.

        Humanity needs to be way more interactive globally than it currently is, and for a good long time. Forcing elimination of borders and nations without having a basically uniform global culture - and probably language - is a “bad idea.”

        It’s a good thing that communist parties are immune to having sexual predators in their ranks.

        So, you are telling me that in your enlightened opinion imperialism is a great thing and decolonization was wrong? That’s a take…

      If the country is a theocracy run by a ruling class of slave owning pedophiles, yes, that government deserves to go away. Serfdom is bad.

        And does it deserve to be colonized? Because you are basically justifing imperial colonization.

          It’s not colonized, so your question is irrelevent.

      China freed the Tibetan people from serfdom imposed by a feudal religious state.

          That’s your argument, lib?

          Maybe learn how the Five Eyes’ governments, think tanks, and corporate media propaganda work, and how the cold wars[1][2] and red scares[1][2][3][4] never ended.
