    China’s artificial “culture” which was installed after slaughtering their own history, isn’t worth preserving.

      Finally someone that acknowledge that a harmful culture is not necessarily always worth preserving.👍
      I sure hope China will become more politically democratic, but we must also acknowledge that China has made huge progress in improving conditions for their population these past 50 years. But I think the time for Communism has passed, or whatever it is they have in China.
      On the other hand I don’t see the 1 party system as that much worse than a 2 party system. To make a real difference, it needs to be a functional democracy.
      But the 1 single advantage China has over most democracies, is to NOT accept religious special pleading.

        Professing to the belief that slaughtering massive numbers of infant girls is an improvement of conditions, is a bit of a spicy take on these forums.

        You can’t do something that fucked up and just expect the entire world to pretend it never happened.

          Now you are being stupid: What slaughtering is that?

          The systematic control and surveillance of Tibetan monasteries by Chinese authorities represents one of the most calculated assaults on religious freedom in the modern world.

          This is what it is about, and religious special pleading needs to fucking end. Especially when it’s harmful to children. You can abandon a religion, it’s not like for instance protection of nationality, gender or sex.

            I’m talking about the Chinese people choosing to murder their own daughters at birth because the government attempted to implement strict population controls, and everyone wanted boys so they could make more money as adults.

                  Which I don’t give a shit about, I’m just so fucking tired of people screaming about protecting harmful religious practices.

                    Sorry that you’re inconvenienced by people making too much noise, as small impotent men deploy the powers bestowed upon them by corporate technologies to destroy their entire way of life.
