The marched for it en masse in 1989?

Russians and Chinese are also people. They deserve to rule themselves.

An ideologically driven subset of urban educated youths that was proportionally a tiny subset of the entire Chinese population marched for it in 1989. FTFY.

They are ruling themselves in the sense that their governing systems are emergent consequences of their own cultures. All peoples ultimately deserve the governments they have.

The Americans marched en masse to get rid of ICE, right?

Guess the Tiananmen square tank man is a victim, but Alex Pretti and Renee Good are just statistics

(The tank man wasn't even run down by the tank - Good was shot for merely turning the wheels in the wrong direction)

Americans really need to shut up about any democratic values or humans rights and clean up their own mess before preaching to the world
