Most people convicted and sent to jail don't even get trials, they're pressured into plea deals by prosecutors. A huge amount are in prison pre-trial and can't meet bail. Then there's the concentration camps for migrants on the US border. But yeah sure, everyone the US imprisons is a criminal

Some Guy TT posted:i dont remember imperialists rationalizing the colonization of india and africa by saying they were brutal theocracies practicing serfdom I dunno why you don't remember it because they pretty much did. Charles Grant literally said it is their concern to "free" the Indian people "from the "evils" of "feudal oppression", etc etc then writes way too many words about how backwards their religion is. I don't want to be a dick about it but they just wrote so, so, so much about that. If you don't remember it then I really don't know what to tell you.

LOL the thing Chinese people find the most puzzling about whites is their Tom Buchanan obsession with racial purity and the need to establish homologous ethnostates in every part of the world. Successful multi-ethnic and multi-cultural countries are incomprehensible to them and must be destroyed at every opportunity. It's so loving bizarre that there's just no good response to it.

A country that is 91.6% the same ethnicity, and currently in the process of mass indoctrinating and persecuting ethnic and religious minorities, I think has very little to teach anyone about multi-ethnic or multi-cultural societies.

the whole "but what have romans done for us joke" line of thinking is dumb bullshit, because you can just offer help to people outside your borders without also invading them at the same time i'm mostly ignorant about tibet's present or past issues but china helping tibetans remove feudalism doesn't excuse an occupation, imo

I can't speak for his wiki being lovely (that's such a weird way to judge a historical character, I've never heard of that) but, you can check out what he wrote yourself if you want. This is the problem with this thread, and I know I've said this before but it's still true. I'm sure we got an India thread or a Kazakhstan thread or something, and I even have some opinions about modern India, but I don't post in those threads because I don't know poo poo about them now. Not enough that'd I'd think I should speak with absolutely any authority on them at all, at least. And here you are when faced with a British politician who said some poo poo that disagrees with you, on something that should be inconsequential, and you.... check out his wiki, decide it's a poo poo wiki, and so lol the guy doesn't matter. It's a weird thing to even disagree with, of course the British were jackasses about India.

The weirdest assertion so far itt is the idea that adults can't learn new languages. A process that millions undergo everyday and that dates back to the dawn of language itself.Grapplejack posted:Why is Mongolia its own country btw, shouldn't they also be Chinese?

Grapplejack posted:Look they were ruled by the qing until the xinhai rebellion, China has plenty of claim to them. Same with Tibet. Let's just suppose again that this is a good faith question. I already posted a few pages back that the modern state of Mongolia is a thing that was made up out of thin air by the Soviet Union in order to grab land and create a buffer state between it and China. More "Mongolians" live in China than in "Mongolia". The official language of Mongolia is written in Cyrillic while in China Mongolian is still taught in the old Tibetan script. It's basically an Eastern version of Moldova and basically has no reason to exist. The Chinese aren't making any noise about it because like most normal and sane countries in the world the People's Republic of China has no unresolved territorial disputes on land with any of its neighbors except for India. Since the PRC's territorial claims have generally remained consistent throughout its history, this is easily done as it is with virtually every other country in the world. US state media likes to paint China as some kind of suddenly resurgent 1930s Germany or Japan that's just making up new claims as it goes along. India claims to have a territorial dispute with China because it continues to make fantastical claims about basically 1/3 of Tibet actually having always been a part of [some Indian state from the 17th century or something]. China has no response to this since the already control effectively all the territory in question and the Indians can do nothing to alter this other than occasionally send some poorly clothed untouchables to get roughed up and then freeze to death in the dark after fleeing. The Chinese still lay claim to basically a few hill tops that Indians currently occupy but they're basically uninhabited and the Chinese would probably just let them be if the Indians would agree to some broader settlement of the border, since they're just referred to as "border disputes" and none of those random hilltops are "inseparable parts of China" like Taiwan is, but there is no advantage to India doing so since it costs them nothing to keep making their claims.

Rabelais D posted:What's your point here? The rich people got away with it (of course they did, capitalism is broken) so therefore we shouldn't even try to speak out against injustice, as is the case in China, where only foreign injustices are publicised? How is that true. It seems like China regularly fights against corruption (including private-public corruption) and is publicized. https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3044560/chinas-richest-tycoons-hit-debt-defaults-arrests-and-suicides https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/01/why-do-chinese-billionaires-keep-ending-up-in-prison/272633/ Imagine if we had a "kill pigs list" for our billionaires. But I guess for all we know is that this "corruption" is a power struggle between oligarchs.

It's basically an Eastern version of Moldova and basically has no reason to exist. Sort of. A large part of China's current claims are over sea areas rather than land, though they've had land dispute with most of their neighbors that didn't get resolved until relatively recently (Russia in 04, Vietnam in 08 iirc). The big sea disputes are basically China flexing it's nuclear stockpile since states can't really retaliate against them traditionally.
