      Have you ever actually bothered to research popular opinion on China in Tibet

      Are you seriously fucking tell me to look at opinion polls?

          Oh I'm sorry, you're right, those opinion polls are correct because they were produced by the red bourgeoisie and not the blue bourgeoisie.

              Use western ones!

              What part of what i just wrote made you think I give a shit about western opinion polls either?

              I don’t have one offhand that isolates Tibetan responses, but there’s a pretty good chance you can find one. At the very least, you should be able to extrapolate a range from looking at the places where responses were isolated and then using population proportions to set up a possible range for the local average.

              Why would I do a bunch of work to derive a number that I think is completely worthless, like all opinion polls?

              You’re literally just keeping yourself in a state of epistemic suspense so that you can continue to lick boots.

              Pretty sure I'm the only one not licking boots here. Sorry I don't start chowing down as soon as I see that the boot is red.

                  I can buy that logic, but it would really only apply to western state propaganda - western businesses who are active in china (who would the ones taking the poll) would absolutely still be incentivized to side with the PRC.
