China is Systematically Dismantling Tibetan Monastic Traditions
-
Now you are being stupid: What slaughtering is that?
The systematic control and surveillance of Tibetan monasteries by Chinese authorities represents one of the most calculated assaults on religious freedom in the modern world.
This is what it is about, and religious special pleading needs to fucking end. Especially when it's harmful to children. You can abandon a religion, it's not like for instance protection of nationality, gender or sex.
I'm talking about the Chinese people choosing to murder their own daughters at birth because the government attempted to implement strict population controls, and everyone wanted boys so they could make more money as adults.

That's whataboutism and unrelated. Although I agree that was horrible.

Lmao. Sorry, calling it unrelated isn't going to make the world love China.

That would depend on how I was treated; I asked for specifics on how children in monasteries are abused, but you didn't provide any, so I can't really pass judgement on that other than to say that I am against child abuse.
Are kids still being sent to monasteries? The article says it's illegal now. Of course, this doesn't negate any damage caused in the past, but it's now a crime.
I asked for specifics on how children in monasteries are abused,
Really? Are you sure you really want to go there?
Taken from their parents or abandoned, and forced to a life in religious insanity and celibacy?There is no way any sensible child care worker wouldn't take those children away.

Which I don't give a shit about, I'm just so fucking tired of people screaming about protecting harmful religious practices.

So you have less of an idea about the subject than gonzo, who at least admits not knowing anything. Marvellous tankie specimen.
PS: The CCP sucks donkey dick.

I absolutely agree, the only thing worse is religions and their harmful practices and child abuse.

China working to prevent indoctrination of children with superstitious religious practices that are harmful to the people practicing them.
Edit:
Funny how everybody is downvoting based on knee jerk reactions, while nobody acknowledge the harmful practices.
Always this special pleading for religious practices, that we would never accept in any other context.Never assume that mass downvoting in systems that allow up/down voting is organic when the subject matter is US foreign policy and stuff like articles that "thoughtfully" shit talk geopolitical adversaries. It's just a cheap way for fake consensus building, fake peer pressure etc. Tibet was a theocratic feudal kingdom before China ended that garbage, the kind of system that would make the KKK salivate.

I'm all for shitting on tankies but I'm unsure what part of an all-male divine birthright theocracy they're supposed to support?

I know. I’m talking about the ML, not China. The ML are nowhere when China is dirty.

One China and all. Oh other people exist? Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee one China!
Ironically, most of the ML are from the USA

They keep registering at other instances which makes blocking them all frustrating

Yeah, I’m pretty sure there’s only like 5 of them and they’re really busy switching accounts. Occasionally they’ll forget to switch and comment as someone else using the same grammar and punctuation mistakes.
They just live in the US, hate the US, and got sucked into this fake communist thing where they simp for China and pretend to hate genocide—but only when it makes the west look bad. China can abuse the Uyghurs all day long because that’s “not happening”

Superstition and kidnapping of children is not "culture".
Kidnapping?

Religious superstition is not culture worth preserving.

Or other "western" nations. I've never knowingly met someone staunchly ml. That was from an area formerly or currently ml.
Talking to someone from China etc you generally will not hear them specifically shit on their government. Mostly because the government will come knocking and threatening violence as they did with Naomi. But you will catch them nervously deflecting to justifying it. Acknowledging it without speaking of it. Though even that could not save Naomi.
Hilariously Lemmy.ml is blocked in China. Where a lot of other Lemmy instances aren't strictly.
