> Sure, but not the way West conducted it, by going and killing generations of people.
Ridiculous statement. China is doing it today — uighurs are actively erased bit by bit.
> Look at India, before British colonization they accounted for almost 25% GDP of the world (~1700s), now it is around 3-4%
This statement is rooted in “zero sum” logic, and based on the assumption that without colonization India should have stayed with its 25% or more share. Hypotheticals are hypotheticals, and nothing more.
> You keep defending the West,
I’m not defending anyone. I find it ridiculous that you are so high on “the west is bad, China good” horse and completely oblivious to so many things that China does, which are objectively worse.
- throwaw12 1mo ago> I find it ridiculous that you are so high on “the west is bad, China good” Can you read what I have written? if not, let me copy what I wrote earlier here: > I am fine with lesser of 2 evils > But it obviously has its own problems (e.g. how competitive is the life in China for kids and so on), I am not saying China is perfect I am not saying China is good, I am saying it is lesser of 2 evils with much less negative impact to the lives of human beings around the world, in my opinion.
- reliabilityguy 1mo agoI am not sure we are arguing here on the merit of the argument itself. You are fine with China’s genocide TODAY because China is the “lesser of two evils”? I do not understand this. It sounds like a cultist/religious position.
- noahhhh 1mo agoUgh, not this Uyghur political propaganda again. Can't you just go and check it out with your own eyes?
