    we believe in autonomy

    Meh. "Autonomy" in a European country that has never suffered from colonialism is just petty bourgeois nationalism. Like the EU is dogshit but not because it enforces LGBTQ protections.

    My unrealistic fantasy for enforcing those protections globally is that sometime in the next few decades, once China's internal market is significantly larger than its export market, they threaten to cut off every country that relies on them for goods and resources unless they agree to abide by a new human rights declaration that includes a right to healthcare, sexual/gender expression, reproductive freedom and freedom from poverty.

          Bro we were literally colonized for like 800 years by Germans and had crusades called against us whenever we tried to be independent it's why everyone is atheist

          Also it's incredibly fucking insulting that you think Nazi occupation was minor

            I never said minor. I said it's categorically different to the century-long British rule of India. Nevermind its colonization of the Americas or in East Asia. Would you disagree?
