Question - is supporting the Tibetan struggle against Chinese occupation a bad idea?
Genuine question, as it was mentioned recently on here. I always took it as read that the ancient Tibetan nomadic way of life, their language, Buddhist monks, and national identity were being brutally oppressed, with it even being illegal to own a Tibetan flag.

Yet, I've some staunchly left-wing friends who describe all this as oppressive fuedalism, with the Chinese being a force for good, by educating the people etc. A claim was made in a thread here recently that the Dalai Lama covers up child abuse etc.

Can anyone elaborate? (Yeah, I know this thread is a bit serious. Sorry, blah blah. On topic, tho.)

I have similar trouble with this Ukraine situation.
The present "government" is being attacked by nasty Russian backed rebels. Yet the present government overthrew the democratically elected government and the present rebels were the democratically elected government's supporters.
It appears that if you are powerful enough you can change anything and everything just on your say so. Sad.
