Justin Raimondo? He's a libertarian fruit bat who frequently enjoys stirring up conspiracy theories (USA lured Japan to war is my favorite) when he thinks he's running low on press coverage. What's next? I can't wait till you start quoting Ted Kaczynski. Please don't use loons in your arguments, it doesn't do your reputation any favors.
It's a limp argument to claim indigenous people of the United States lack human rights. You can't change the past. Did they get a raw deal? Yes that's one way to look at it, but many are very well off today. We do the best we can to accommodate everybody, but while they may no longer have a country to their own, we do permit them the same freedoms every other citizen has, and try to do what's fair and just for everyone. You'll always have radicals who chant “death to USA”. There will always be nuts in the fruit bowl, though the numbers of people here pale in comparison to those in other countries.
By sheer numbers, and the types of issues raised, the situation in China and Tibet is worse off than the US. That's a hard pill for you to swallow, but the first step in acting like a man is admitting when you've got a problem. It's quite apparent that you can't deal with your own problems without pointing out someone else's flaws first. That shows your character is weak and childish.
The USA, like others, isn't perfect, and has it's share of problems. Like everywhere, we are trying to move forward. But it's not a black and white world, and some places are moving farther or slower ahead then others. Is it our place to force democracy and human rights on other people? I certainly don't think so, but there are some who think so. Hence the lack of perfection. I do though, like many, support anyone who wants to gain independence from countries where problems are more pronounced, as much as that so obviously stings your pride. I want labor laws and safety of workers protected in China, I want women in Saudi Arabia to be able to drive cars, and I want girls in Africa not forced to undergo female circumcision. Yet, in all 3 of these places, there are people just like you. Foaming at the mouth at the idea someone would have issue with these things because the problem sits on your doorstep. Grow up.
Nobody who supports Tibet needs to know anything about Tibet. They don't need to know it's history, it's past ownership, even it's location on the map. They don't need to have Chinese heritage or even have anything to do with China. It simply doesn't matter. What does matter, is a large group of people want their own independence.
You happy in China? Good for you, but you are only one person, and not a very important one at that. You still need to understand why people would want Independence? A good example can be found by reading the
United States Declaration of Independence. Read it carefully. Note what the people in the document want, then notice the lack of race and class identification in that document. If you understood this document, then you would understand why someone might want to become a “traitor”.
Tibet could move to the moon, and the FACT is, it wouldn't change your miserable, insignificant life one bit unless you lived in the area. It's like your favorite sports team losing the championship. Yes, it gives you something to cry about, but in the end you aren't really affected.
The race card? Sure you can play it..... it's the easiest card to play. It basically tells everyone else you are too weak to come up with a cohesive argument to stand on, and the best you can in the discussion is to dumb it down to skin color or any variety of physical features. It's easier than trying to come to grips with the idea that some people want different things than you do, and believe they have a right to pursue those things.
