They have used this simple understanding to justify the imposition of their values and religious beliefs on people all over the world. The belief that an industrialized culture or country is "bringing" another peopling into the present, "saving" them from their old and outmoded ways has been proven time and time again to be false and deeply damaging. I can't help but be conscious of the fact that I'm here tip tapping away discussing this as I am so clearly evidence of this sort of malformed imperialist colonization project in the flesh. It doesn't fucking work. It's harmful. It never leads to anything good.<BR/><BR/>Tristen, I hope you don't mind long(er) comments.Dark Daughtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461439416312772862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10274459.post-40325337475894532582008-04-11T09:21:00.000+02:002008-04-11T09:21:00.000+02:00Yes, the facts are right.

For the idiot two comments, up, yes Tibet was a feudal society but that doesn't mean A) things have changed, B) that this is a valid reason for continued occupation.

Human beings have been educated in a way that makes them want to read issues in really simplistic ways. Either it's this or it's that. There's no space for a reckoning with shades of grey...even though everything is grey.<BR/><BR/>And even though, this isn't my blog, I just have to say...<BR/>Anonymous, why do you have to be so disrespectful to tristen? Come out into the light and share your name and location why don't you? Why hide if you're so confident about what you're spouting?Dark Daughtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461439416312772862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10274459.post-30447014301555056572008-03-28T18:36:00.000+02:002008-03-28T18:36:00.000+02:00You are a retard.

Fear of new masters means that struggle, as in South Africa, has to continue on after liberation. In fact, the post-liberation struggle is harder, more difficult, and longer than the liberation struggle, as you are engaged against shadowy capital.Tristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05725834166480146817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10274459.post-38647750952191297742008-03-28T02:15:00.000+02:002008-03-28T02:15:00.000+02:00But what about the fact that tiny new countries of...But what about the fact that tiny new countries often end up being pawns of corporations or of countries like China and the US who are very much about extending their imperialist influences? I offer that if/when Tibet does gain independence of China, this independence will really just be the freedom to choose some sort of big brother protector like the US who it seems has been courting and supporting Tibetan freedom fighters for decades. I find the thought of any powerful nation utilizing smaller, less resourced nations as pawns in battles for world supremacy disgusting, but do you think Tibet will be able to avoid being utilized in this way even if it does gain its independence?Dark Daughtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461439416312772862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10274459.post-8719464525795281062008-03-17T09:29:00.000+02:002008-03-17T09:29:00.000+02:00Thanks, and you too.
