So I was browsing reddit out of boredom, and I saw a random post on the hoi4 subreddit and I clicked it without much thought. It was about Chinese players giving bad reviews to the game due to India getting cores for Tibet but not China. I clicked on it due to my masochistic desire to see if anyone else would recognize how stupid it was, and was sorely disappointed.

There were the usual ‘muh ccp’ jokes there, also shit about ‘west taiwan’ (ah yes ‘I understand history very well’), and then one guy who really caught my attention saying Chinese ‘people’ (savages) don’t matter because they speak a different language from ‘us’ (the civilized white people). Now granted that isn’t the most charitable interpretation, but… like… come on, this is reddit.

Shit like this makes my blood boil. Because libs will go, ‘oh we accept everyone!’ ‘we hate the government not the people!’ and drop the most disgusting garbage like this because they’re proud little pigs knowing how much propaganda they can fucking shove down their own throats and see an entire race as subhuman. I’ve always thought reeducation was better than punishment and that a lot of these folks are simply misguided, but jesus christ they’re not making it easy for me to suppress the desire to bind them to a rock with metal chains and beat their ribs to pieces with my bare fists and/or a metal bar while screaming “BEG FOR MERCY NOW YOU RACIST SHIT-FOR-BRAINS!”

It gets even more frustrating when it’s people you know in real life. I have a trans friend who generally has pretty good takes on stuff like palestine, disabled rights etc, but even he regurgitates the same shit from the state department and about how he’d ‘definitely kill xi if he got the chance.’

It’s so fucking tiring that these assholes can just turn the ‘counts as human’ switch on and off whenever they want for whatever race they want and suffer no consequences whatsoever. Really makes me wish I could Diver Down their screens and remind them of the weight of their words by bashing in their pale distorted sweaty reddit faces.

rant over.

      The “Free Tibet” movement advocates for Tibetan independence and human rights, opposing China’s control over Tibet since 1950. It emerged in the late 1980s after violent suppression of Tibetan protests and gained global attention through activism, celebrity support, and campaigns like those during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The movement highlights issues such as cultural erasure, political repression, and human rights abuses in Tibet while supporting Tibetan self-determination, autonomy, or full independence from Chinese rule.

      China has committed extensive human rights abuses in Tibet, including forced relocations, cultural suppression, and religious persecution. Tibetans face mass surveillance, arbitrary arrests, torture, and restrictions on speech and movement. Religious practices, especially Tibetan Buddhism, are tightly controlled, with bans on Dalai Lama worship and monastery evictions. Forced urbanization displaces rural Tibetans, eroding traditional lifestyles. Allegations include forced labor, sterilization, and organ harvesting. These actions aim to assimilate Tibetans and suppress their cultural identity under Chinese rule.

      Chinese propoganda is gonna prevent Lemmy from going mainstream. This thread is wild.
