A new report by Human Rights Watch argues that the compulsory use of Chinese as the primary language in schools in Tibet raises “serious concerns under international human rights law”.

    I “wonder” whom they got cultural-genocide-methods from…

    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Hopi+prisoners+in+alcatraz&t=fpas&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images

    ( Hopi men in Alcatraz prison, because they wouldn’t sign their agreement with their children being taken from them, at gunpoint, to be enforced into the residential-“school” institutions ).


    Back in the Nuremberg trials, we had the absolute-gall to maintain that MoralLaw, aka NaturalLaw, aka RuleOfJustLaw, “outranks” RuleOfLegalism.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law

    Where, in our genociding of Indigenous Peoples & their culture, both before & after, did we demonstrate that principle??

    Oh, we “have the right to be 2-faced” … ??

    Anybody who’s tried reading Wehle’s book “How to Think like a Lawyer, and Why”, knows that legalism is the whole of the law, & RuleOfJustLaw/MoralLaw/NaturalLaw … hasn’t got any power to outrank precident.

    https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/how-to-think-like-a-lawyer-and-why

    ( the SCOTUS gutting of the US’s Voting Rights Act stands on legalism, e.g. )


    Yes, it is true that I already-know that CCP gaslights about holding to international-law.

    My point is that our world holds to “rule of law”, NOT to Rule of Law, & that our pretending otherwise is itself gaslighting.

    Yes, Jim Crow 2.0 is being enforced in the US, now.

    Yes, ICE is embodying the SAME “principles” in the US that the IDF is embodying in Gaza

    ( this short, and difficult-to-watch, video explains that … while showing us the murders of ICE, & their other IDF-clone behaviors, … while showing us the IDF’s original-renditions. Please have the guts to see it with your own eyes: it changes one to see & understand, accurately… https://youtu.be/qhZBVLQK9MU )

    & yes, this supremacism/genociding principle is enacting in Europe ( ask the Ukranians’ stolen children about it ), in Asia ( see the article linked in the OP ), in the Middle-East ( Netanyahu’s “Israel” … I discovered yesterday that the real LivingSpirit-loyal Jews are calling Netanyahu “Amalek”, which is the embodyer-of-anti-Judaism/“Jewish”-evil ) & in the Americas.

    This is part of a global paradigm, not something local to 1 of the 4 world-pushing “poles” of Earth!

    It’s the principle/paradigm that needs opposing, not letting the framing be made “only-local”, because so long as we remain blindfolded against the globalness-of-the-paradigm, then we remain as ineffective as they want us to be!

      Literally every time on Lemmy someone says something bad about country X, there spawns a dude who starts writing “but US”

      At this point I can’t tell if this is deliberate propaganda, the same tactic used by the soviets. In any case, I’ve noticed also that people are now growing tired of whataboutism, and your comment pisses me off too. One country being bad is not an excuse for others to do bad.
