Cool surface cherry picking. Tibetans are one of the minority groups in China, as opposed to the entirety of indigenous peoples in the US which is the comparison being made. It also only highlights the language, disregarding the cultural and religious practices.
I do think it's awesome to keep languages alive, but that's not a whole culture.
In other news, indigenous peoples in the US have their own legal system that applies to their lands and which isn't easily infringed on by the federal or state governments. That's not true in China, so while they can speak their language they are still under other types of oppression.
in china minorities get their own autonomous provinces (e.g. Xinjiang for Uyghurs, Tibet for Tibetans) which would be like if the US gave the Navajo nation a whole state with their own autonomy
Your ignorance is not pardoned, because you decided to shoot off anyway despite knowing nothing of the players or motives involved. No investigation, no right to speak
A whole population is brainwashed to the point that they can't accept the fact we support a country because it legitemately seeks to serve it's people.
Many of these same allegations can be levied at governments such as the Americans; but to differing proportions and often historical rather than modern contexts (excluding Trump).
Liberals, evey single time. Since Biden the US is expanding through South America, sending troops and doing shit, preparing for something. Your 51st state Israel began the genocide under Democrats.

Cool story bro, but I’ve been to Tibet. Autonomous is hardly the word I’d use to describe it.

Hey can you link me the drugs you were on when you visited Tibet in your head?
TheGoldenV@lemmy.world · -7 pts · 98d
At first I thought, “Oh wow, so edgy. That’s not very nice.”
Then I noticed that you’re just ml seepage.
Now I’m laughing.

it is indeed hilarious when you chuds come to our server and don't have the self awareness to realize you're the seepage

Did they "give the Tibetans autonomy" or just violently annex a weaker neighbor?
Silliari@quokk.au · 20 pts · 98d
before china liberated there were slaves in tibet btw
jdr@lemmy.ml · -11 pts · 98d
That sucks. Slavery is the worst. Is that why China controls Tibet?
RiverRock@lemmy.ml · 20 pts · 98d
Yes, idiot. The provisional government refused to abandon slavery and started shelling hospitals about it
jdr@lemmy.ml · -10 pts · 98d
Pardon my ignorance, I can think of lots of colonies that could also have been justified under similar reasoning
RiverRock@lemmy.ml · 17 pts · 98d
Like the British colony of Tibet, perhaps?

Why do you people always feel the need to add some dehumanising shit like this at the end of your replies.
"Oh you don't hate China you must be a bot, shill, intelligence officer, brainwashed etc etc."
You suck.

Love you how just sort of skipped past even attempting to provide any evidence for like 90% of the shit you've listed here
flabberjabber@lemmy.world · -12 pts · 98d
OP had not provided any references at all beyond a Chinese news agency. I'm still waiting.
yogthos@lemmy.ml · 20 pts · 98d
Here you go shithead. Academic research and official sources confirm that the overwhelming majority of ethnic Tibetans in China speak Tibetan.
