The Republic of China also claims Tibet.
That’s irrelevant to “Tibet should be independent”
I do want to hear the difference between #FreeTibet and #FreeCaledonia and all other separatist movements. Hell even, #FreetheAmericaFromTheEuropeans
If you think I’m going to take Israel’s side just to give a contradiction you’re wrong
I support Scotland but I realize the biggest push in the movement is Russia trying to fracture their enemies (same with anti-EU sentiment that Scotland is not part of)
Tibet doesn’t give China that support. Of note as well is the prevalence of Scottish flags to Tibet flags. A unicode example 🏴vs no result. A stock photo in front of parliament and you show me a Tibetan flag at The Great Hall
I think Catalonia has a right to independence but like Scotland to England. An independent Catalonia should ally with Spain
You can’t make the argument that China needs Tibet to stand up to America or India. You could make the argument that China needs an independent/neutral Tibet to act as a buffer to India. Much like they need DPRK to act as a buffer between ROK
Most of the Americas are independent from Europe so I am not sure on your argument there but native nations should be elevated from their current status
If breaking up Myanmar stops the junta’s genocide then it should happen
Quebec’s separatist movement doesn’t have the backing of the people (their votes keep failing) but if we assume they are fixed then yeah Quebec should be independent however even that movement still wants to keep it’s current ties to Canada
All those Russian provinces that voted for independence should be allowed to leave
There are way too many independence movements to list them all but if you have any more you want specifics on feel free to ask
You actually have went beyond what I was asking. My will on FreeTibet is that it just a illusion, something that can not be. China is never going to release Tibet, Spain is not going to release Caledonia, and the Americas are not going to give the lands back to the natives.
Many people I talked to with "Free Tibet" only talks about how China is illegally imposing themselves on the will of the Tibetan people. Yet, they completely ignore or simply dismissing the many other separatist movements. They only talk about Tibet is to harm China (man, I sound like a China fan boy here, which I am not).
You, my friend, are true and pure.
