Tibet wasn’t colonized, its people were liberated. The people of Tibet were not “homogenized” as they still practice their language and customs. You know history only through the lens of imperialism, and it shows.
I think it’s probably a little from column “A” and a little from column “B”…China did invade and annex Tibet against the will of the inhabitants, and it’s pretty messed up that China is controlling the appointment of the high level Lama’s, and they’re probably disappearing dissidents in typical fashion…but “Han Supremacy” is clearly employed as an inflammatory and divisive term, and it’s probably an overstatement for what has actually gone on.
Seeing this, I apologize for losing my cool and getting frustrated with her. I’ve deleted some of my comments. Sometimes I need to do a better job remembering the human, and with disengaging when things are unproductive.
That was you in there? How should I proceed? I am clearly being a jackass but given some things she’s admitted to me I don’t know if she’d accept deescalation. Also I am pretty toxically enjoying the attention
My bad. I confused this interaction with something else. She’s not upset because of you.
Whether she accepts it or not, I’m done with the conversation. I maintain my position, but I see no point in continuing. If she hates me, she hates me, and she wouldn’t be the first, either way the conversation is over.
For the record, I have you tagged as one of the more serious people from your instance. I don’t really think there’s a way to be more tactful in some conversations.

Perhaps you’re right to an extent, but I at least shouldn’t have called her an idiot. She is correct that it is ablest language, and I know better.
In any case, when I thought of it in terms of a high person saying something I consider ignorant, irl, of course I wouldn’t go off on them. And when I look at it that way, regardless of whether the person on the other end is high, sober, whatever, sometimes, I could afford to be more patient.
Did he say “Han supremacy is okay”, or did he say that Tibet was historically a feudalist society with a cast system and slavery?
Does that mean Tibetans should be colonized and homogenized?

Now I want to learn how you liberate a group of people without colonist intentions. Show me anticolonial historical liberations.
Becky! Why are you talking to other people! These ones don’t love you like I do, they think you’re dumb as fuck.
Sorry everyone, this is my wife. She’s not evil I promise she’s just high.

Depending on the person, of course.
