Eh, sometimes it’s the mongols.
- the_only_law 4y agoIronically, they’re probably more tolerant, though with more initial destruction.
- buscoquadnary 4y agoYep it's very easy to be tolerant whenever fears you. Remember the Mongols killed around 10% of the worlds population. The reason they could have tolerance is that you knew if you stepped one toe out of line the Mongols would destroy you, your family, rape the women, slaughter the town and everyone you knew, and then come back a few days later just to make sure they got everyone. This is like saying China is super tolerant once they get rid of the Ughyrs.
- the_only_law 4y agoI didn’t say it was great, but if I had to be stuck under vicious authoritarian rule, I’d rather one that will tolerate my culture and religion as long as my loyalty is there, which is not what China seems to be doing. Shit the Mongols themselves ruled over the Uyghurs (though admittedly I’m not quite sure whether medieval Uyghurs and modern Uyghurs are the same people) and many were in high ranking court positions, not re-education camps.
- saiya-jin 4y agoWell, they did kill left and right during their conquests, sometimes even literally exterminated whole cities that surrendered to them without fight. Piling human heads, ears, penises and whatnot on very tall heaps. Chinese are currently fluffy cuddly kittens compared to mongol brutality. When they will kill half of uyghur in most gruesome way and rape the rest then we can start comparing.
