Comparing one form of genocide to another is an exercise in futility.

Does American slavery count as a form of cultural genocide, or what about Jim Crow, or what about America's concentration camps, or what about America's eugenics history, or what about the extermination of indigenous peoples (one of the largest mass deaths of humans in history), or what about America's mass incarceration system (one that dwarfs even China's), what about America's wars in the middle east and elsewhere?

Is "South Mongolia" a portion of Mongolia that is within the Chinese borders and not within the Mongolian state borders, and therefore subjecting the South Mongolians to Chinese rule?

Even so, I do not doubt that this is happening. I just find it depressing that the Chinese government is persecuting all non-Han Chinese peoples.


Inner Mongolia is a province of China, Mongolia is a separate country, also known as Outer Mongolia. There was a quiz show years back where the question was 'What is the capital of Mongolia', to which the response was 'Inner or Outer?'. The show host and producers huddled for a while as to how to address this and then went back with 'What is the capital of Mongolia, either Inner or Outer will do', to which the guy replied 'Pass..'.

All temperate peoples can potentially be very nasty. You actually get more casual violence and less large scale genocides in humid, tropical areas. Temperate peoples are the opposite. Germans can be disciplined among themselves but at the same time would go and genocide the Herero in South-West Africa. Same for Japanese and Chinese: peaceful when not allowed to kill people but when allowed..

Goetland is not China.

China as a state is inherently evil which needs to be rectified by oppressed nations controlled by it regaining our righteous independence just like the independence of Finland, Baltic States, Poland and Ukraine from iterations of the Russian empire.

No more anti-Anglo, antisemitic and anti-Japanese nonsense, no more communist party, no more theft of wealth from Wu-speaking lands by Beijing, no more Boxer Rebellion-style xenophobia and it’s modern successors. America, Israel and Japan are inherently awesome.

China is more racist imo because they are very strict about who is and isn't cool. In America it was white supremacy, but in China it's Han Chuevanism, which means if you aren't Han Chinese, you aren't Kosher. You can look exactly like a Han person but if you aren't Han, it's curtains. America wasn't that restrictive since like 1790.

That's kind of my point. America has blood on it's hands, but it's never like, actively tried to exterminate a people or culture. If they have done so, it was a side effect of arrogance and disregard for other people, but not necessarily a purposeful and organized attempt to wipe people out. America wasn't *trying* to systematically purge the native American races, it just kind of happened as a byproduct of westward expansion. America has mass incarceration, police brutality, rampant racism and ignorance, and a very concerning cultural inclination towards violence. But they don't have death camps. I'm not sure I can say the same of China.

Also the NBA: You commit racist oppression against minorities? We'll still do business with you.


The NBA: 1) We will support BLM because we will then get more black fans and more Hippie fans. 2) We will never criticize China because we know that as soon as we do the China govt. will pull all merchandise and block all NBA coverage. 3) The Han Chinese population is MUCH higher than the Mongol population and financially it is a bad idea to upset the Han Chinese.

The global south is more violent because it is poor, not because it's hot. The same reason you see more casual violence compared to genocides (a historically inaccurate take, looking at the history of the Pygmies, the Mfecane, etc) there is because of the lack of wealth, which leads to a lack of infrastructure. You could possibly make an argument that heat makes large-scale centralization more difficult, but then you have to drop the humid portion, which sucks for your racism.

Well. You could make a very good argument that the Indian Schools were an attempt to wipe out many cultures.

Please read my arguments.

I said that temperate peoples are generally less willing to commit casual violence while MORE willing to commit full-scale large genocide compared to tropical peoples. So Herero genocide by Germany was a manifestation of the phenomenon.

The so-called “People’s” Republic of China has recently gone even more absurd than what it used to be. Recently it began to require ethnic Mongol middle school students to take three key courses full of propaganda in Mandarin instead of Mongolian, that is, Language & literature aka philology, politics (lol that’s a pure propaganda course) and history (muh China rulez. Muh Japan sucks etc)

If you have time please click on the link above and sign the petition so that there will be at least 100,000 signatures. Really thanks!

Money. China has an enormous internal market with 1.4 billion potential consumers (18% of world population!).

There are no real "approved" religions in China. Just some are more tolerated than others. Non-atheists are discriminated against within the CCP.

Erdogan is an authoritarian leader who is openly antisemitic and homophobic. I am arguing that it is pointless to try and compare which genocide is more humane, no genocide is humane, all genocide is evil regardless of its individual features and details. China's genocidal behavior being described as worst than America's make no sense, both have done and are doing genocidal activities, regardless if it is 1 million people dead or 2 million people dead, regardless if it is rooted in a millenia long bigotry or a centries long bigotry, makes no difference, they are both unacceptable.
