        Pretty sure the slaves already knew that slavery was wrong, they just couldn’t do much about it because of the power the Lamas had built up from, you know, exploiting slaves.

        Fortunately, when the Chinese overthrew their oppressors, they did not decide to arbitrarily exclude a region of China that had been briefly taken over by a theocracy, because why would they?

                Maybe Texas would be a better example? There’s definitely Texans who support independence. And Texas has only been part of the US for 180 years, while Tibet has been part of China for at least 300.

                Although I certainly heard a fair share of “The South will rise again” and saw a lot of Confederate flags when I lived in Tennessee. Just their version of “Free Tibet,” I suppose.

        There aren’t any serfs in China, objectively. And the life expectancy in Tibet has more than doubled since the people were liberated.
