I know he was replying to some chud, but this isn’t what I’d call a gotcha.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

He's played "free tibet" shows, I think.
Yeah. I literally just learned that a few minutes ago listening to a podcast.
Whats wrong with "free tibet"?
Edit: thanks all for the answers
Before China's intervention, Tibet was ruled by a theocratic regime with a rigid caste system with "untouchables," feudal serfdom, extreme poverty, and human rights abuses. The average life expectancy before China was about 35. And at most it was only ever a de facto state that emerged during the chaos of early 20th century China (along with a host of warlord states), and was never recognized internationally.
The problem with "Free Tibet" is that China already did.
Another problem was that CIA was airdropping rebels in Tibet Fortnite style.
China already did it
Tibet was still a serfdom in 1950. There's some debate about whether or not the 90+% of Tibetans who lived as serfs count as slaves or not (personally, I think serfdom is slavery), but there's no questioning that Tibet was cruel to the indentured. Your average Tibetan is inarguably more free now than they were before the revolution
This is what is wrong with "free Tibet"
It's a 20 min ish read, well worth it.
@[email protected] please be aware that while this essay is good as fuck there are several references to some pretty heinous shit so go into it with that in mind

If Tibetans were being oppressed, they would logically be fleeing from TAR (Tibet Autonomous Region).
Instead, Tibetan diaspora from India are returning to TAR which indicates that the opposite is true.
Because there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Tibet, gratis y gratuito ya!
