Chinese authorities wrongfully detained more than 20 Tibetans and severely tortured a Tibetan village head named Gonpo Namgyal to death with the repeated use of electric equipment in detention for several months in Ponkor township, Darlag County in Golog in the traditional Tibetan province of Amdo now incorporated into Qinghai, Sichuan and Gansu provinces.

    Oh, how magnanimous of you, lol.

    Still deeply ironic that you said that though, while perfectly demonstrating exactly why it isn’t true.

      Oh, how magnanimous of you, lol.

      Never said that there’s anything magnanimous or otherwise special about acknowledging objective reality rather than ignoring anything that contradicts tribalist dogma. Just because you’re incapable of it doesn’t make it a flex.

      Still deeply ironic that you said that though, while perfectly demonstrating exactly why it isn’t true.

      That makes no sense whatsoever.

        You acted like anyone should give a single nutty shit that you were so nobley willing to concede that the US is bad (but only as bad, never worse), despite it being completely irrelevant.

        That makes no sense whatsoever.

        Lol, Westerners really are the most brainwashed people on earth: they can’t even parse ideas contrary to their programming, let alone accept them.

          Nope. Just clarifying what you missed and how it negated your claim about mine being ironic.

          you were so nobley willing to concede that the US is bad (but only as bad, never worse)

          Yet another strawman. Sometimes the US does worse things than China, sometimes China does worse things than the US. Neither ever cancel each other out as committing atrocities is NOT a zero sum competition.

          despite it being completely irrelevant.

          Again, me being able to acknowledge atrocities without resorting to whataboutism is relevant. As is your inability to do so.

          Me reaching the absolute baseline of intellectual honesty doesn’t make me special. You not accomplishing even that makes YOU special.

          Lol, Westerners really are the most brainwashed people on earth: they can’t even parse ideas contrary to their programming, let alone accept them.

          Wow. That’s Donald Trump levels of lacking self-awareness 😆🤦

            It literally doesn’t though, lol.

            Lol, like I said, you’ll acknowledge that the west is bad, but you’ll never admit it’s worse.

            Again, me being able to acknowledge atrocities without resorting to whataboutism is relevant.

            Nope, completely irrelevant.

            Wow. That’s Donald Trump levels of lacking self-awareness 😆🤦

            “No I” was literally the best you could come up with? Actually, a flat “no u” would have been better because it wouldn’t have shown that you’re the kind of liquid brained shitlib who can’t stop themselves from mentioning Trump even in unrelated conversations.

                    “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” -Jean-Paul Sartre

                    Hey, look at that, western fascists like you were the same in the last century too.
