Biggest problem is that who would regain control of Tibet if it is "freed" would make China's worst aspects preferable.

    Kinda doesn't feel chill to be shitting on a people and culture that's actively being genocided by a massive ethnically homogenous state.

        Intentional destruction of religion and culture is genocide

            You could characterize the toppling of the Tsarist social organization of Russia as “cultural destruction,” but doing so would be incredibly obtuse. Y

            Russian people were doing that though?

                Sure, I was saying that I imagine a majority of the people involved in changing Russia at the time were Russian. Might've been a small segment of the population and mostly in cities. Or just it's a change done by people living in the place that is changing

                    The point I’m trying to make here is that your cries of cultural destruction are absurd

                    I didn't say that though.

                    culture being impugned upon is one where the majority of people are in a violently suppressed underclass,

                    I didn't say this wasn't the case

                    and the interference has the aim and effect of raising their status and autonomy.

                    I didn't say this wasn't the case

                    I was asking if what happened in Russia was done primarily by people people living in Russia at the time, so why would you classify it as "cultural destruction" in the same way
