Sorry but the man doesn't miss.
but Gkalaitza you dont understand, she doesnt know she was supporting US imperialism against China, Venezuela, Bolivia, etc. what matters is that she want US workers to have M4A eventually in 10 years and thats good enough /s
also im glad you survived the purge
Being a "progressive" is squeezing the barest homeopathic dose of labor aristocracy out of the imperial machine
She had an ammendment that banned US weapon sales to Bolivia post coup
Yeah those aren't executions. It's a tradition from Tibetan Buddhist practices of leaving the dead to dry out, and the skin is ritually removed and used for religious purposes. While Tibetan serfdom was terrible, legitimate religious practice deemed barbaric by the Chinese was also included in defining the backwardness of the region.
Maybe, the problem is that every direct source on Tibetan feudalism from the period has either gone through Chinese censors, or Tibetan exile ones. Like one of the famous eye gougings was such because it hadn't been practiced in decades and no one knew how to do it. I think the most accurate picture of Tibetan feudalism is most likely in comparison studies with Bhutan, as we have way more info on Bhutan serfdom practices that was not as politicized as Tibet and they were super similar to Tibet, separating formally only in the 17th century. And Bhutan abolished serfdom as a reaction to the invasion of Tibet.
If anyone wants a really good history of modern Tibet that does try to suss out direct testimony and archival sources, check out Dragon in The Land of Snows. It managed to piss of both the PRC and the Tibetan exile govt lol.
Yeah those rooms existed. As to when they stopped being used is disputed though. Like the Chinese govt claims they were used into 1940s, while pretty much everyone else in the Tibetan studies community says they stopped being used in the 19th century.
AOC Bad, confirmed by Chen Weihua, no need for struggle sessions about her anymore :xi-lib-tears:
there's no need for her to release that kind of garbage statement. she didn't have to say anything.
idk i think she just has shitty foreign policy views? Like all the squad voted to sanction Xinjiang based solely on the testimony of Adrian Zenz, and yes he literally compiled the research and gave the testimony the recent sanctions are based on lol.
yeah, she seems very shitty on foreign policy. there was an account from some pro-MAS Bolivians who wanted to speak with her, got ignored and then later she spoke with pro-coup people.
ya i see bad takes from all the squad members on foreign policy, especially about china. its very bizarre, im sure they think they're being some sort of saviors or whatever, but idk how they dont understand the implication of us foreign intervention and upholding this consensus when it comes to foreign affairs
She made an ammendment that banned US weapon sales to Bolivia after the coup
Yes, 90% of these political statements from politicians are not for the people but to swear fealty to the donor class, AOC is playing the game, my guess is she will give up on the whole small dollar donations grass roots thing.
No, you see if she doesn't try to personally champion the cause of balkanizing China she can't accomplish anything in Congress and then we'll never get socialism. Going out of her way to publicly support the restoration of the Tibetan monarchy is just her hiding her power level.
The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama is a religious matter that should be decided solely by Tibetan Buddhists.
And by Tibetan Buddhists we don't mean Buddhists who live in Tibet, no a few hundred exiles still mad about having their slaves freed ought to have that responsibility.
it should be decided solely by tibetan buddhists. thats why we, american christians, are deciding.
This is honestly over the edge for AOC. What a disgusting imperialist statement from her. There is no "strategic" value in this from a left perspective. It's just adding to the Cold War stuff by reinforcing lies. She's a psychopath.
She’s a psychopath.
She's surrounded by people feeding her shit information. That's how DC works. Someone pulled you into a room and says "Listen, you think you know things, but you don't. This is a secret report showing pictures of four year olds being raped by dogs. This is a human skull with bite marks on it. This is a spectrometer reading indications high levels of radioactive sarin gas. This is a warehouse full of children's shoes. We have a moral imperative to stop this."
And then she's coming out with strict instructions that she can't share this information with anyone. She just has to explain why she supports the vote.
It's a con game that the MIC plays on elected officials, particularly the young and liberal ones.
Except nobody in the position she is in would believe a single word of that stuff. It would be so naive it might as well be malicious, and I don't think she's naive.

The old myth that you can be immune to propaganda because you're too smart / too woke / too savvy is one I've seen lots of people buy into, with disastrous results.
She's not the first person to be sucked in by the Deep State Borg, and she won't be the last.
I don't attribute to ignorance what can be more easily attributed to malice. Isn't she a member of the DSA at the very least? She does have a degree in international relations or something so maybe she drank that flavor-aid and accidentally believes that stuff still.
“Force m4a vote? How bout force China to bend to American influence 😎” sad to see her devolve into a complete joke but oh well
Noooo don't you see how un-pragmatic it is to have any expectations for the people supposedly on your side?
I mean, no one in the US is able to have a good take on China right now, hell even most of the left. And most people don't even know what was going on in Tibet beforehand.
Edit: Hell, even back in the subreddit we had bad China takes.

Even on this site we get occasional bad takes.
Problem is getting people to have better takes. It took me like 4 years to even consider China socialist.
AOC, don't make him use the dreaded "lifetime bitch" against you, too!
