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

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.
Oh snap, I was not expecting to see [spoiler] there of all places. Excellent guest choice!
You know it's big when notable lolberts are saying 'china commies bad, but not that bad'
Because he's a filthy radlib like all of us here on hexbear
