How a British Pickle Merchant Became a Uyghur King

A modicum of research would show that the Uyghur genocide by CCP forces to be fabricated. Xinjiang is currently one of the most per capita tourist-dense regions of China, you have eyes-and-ears from around the world and yet not a tiny smidgen of evidence not linking back to NGO propaganda outlets or literally the US State Department can be found. The border of Xinjiang isn't Western India, the Chinese government doesn't have floodlights lining the entire border of the XUAR like India has on it's border with Pakistan. Information and people leave and enter Xinjiang everyday, it's not a blackhole of 'No Return'. The Uyghur "genocide" is legitimately the sole genocide in known history (so at a charitable minimum of 5-6 thousand years) to not cause a mass refugee crisis from people fleeing to protect their lives and livelihoods. The Rohingya genocide in Myanmar led to hundreds of thousands of refugees. Neighboring Bangladesh has nearly 1 million Rohingya in refugee camps. Rohingya refugees even constitute my US state's largest minority group. And yet, no waves of Uyghur refugees have been or are rushing into Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, or Pakistan. The only major Uyghur populations outside of Xinjiang and it's immediate neighboring areas are Syria and Turkey because the US and Saudi Arabia funded Wahhabism in the region in a failed attempt to destabilize China and a SUCCESSFUL attempt at radicalizing unsuspecting Uyghurs into being their reactionary soldiers in the Syrian Civil War. The past Urumqi riots and bombings didn't pop into existence for no reason, they were ideologically propped up by imperialists halfway across the globe who in reality don't have even a single shred of empathy for them.

[@badlydrawnturtle8484]

@@jakekaywell5972 China, unlike your attempt to smudge the facts, is both massively controlling of information and a deep surveillance state that doesn't allow independent movement. You can't flee from China where the government watches every move, and even in tourism holes an outsider must stay on the paths the Chinese government sets for them or be hauled off to jail for "espionage". This is the diffference between a genocide carried out by a small, unstable state and a mature, totalitarian dictatorship.

To answer the question if its ok to rule a place where you havn't been befor I would say yes. Many of Polish rulers through out the history were foreigners and they were good Kings/queens. I would even say that they were better than most home grown ones. I feel that when a person becomes a leader to a foreign people he/she does it out of compassion to that country and/or its people. When one becomes a ruler of its own native country he is much more seceptiable to corruption. A foreign king must be more carefull to gain the symphaty of its subjects than a native person who most likelly has a group in the country that will support him/her no matter what so he is less concern about the rest of the country. No of course it's a compplytly different situation when someone conquer a land in the name of foreign power but he is nit a ruler then but a conqueror.

[@koraptd6085]

Many of these "Polish rulers" never actually came to see what country they rule (at least iirc) and what value does a king like that bring to a place?

Kipling was an imperialist but he also cautioned against imperialism plenty. For every white man's burden there's a recessional. Chris hitchens wrote a brilliant piece for the atlantic, baring a few mistakes about this many years ago. That at the core kipling is a man of permanent contradictions. Walk with kings and do not lose your common touch and all. You find exaltation of imperium and cautionary tales of it, the king and the common man put both high and low, and jingoism matched with poems about the deep destruction and folly of war. "If one were to assemble a balance sheet of Kipling's own explicit contradictions, it would necessarily include his close relationship with the Bible and the hymnal, and his caustic anti-clericalism; his staunch Anglo nationalism, and his feeling that England itself was petty and parochial; his dislike of nonwhite peoples, and his belief that they were more honest and courageous; his love-hate relationship with the Irish; his contempt, and deep admiration, for the United States; his respect for the working class, and his detestation of the labor movement; his exaltation of the empire, and his conviction that its works were vain and transient." - excrept from the article.
