    I have a neighbour that did missionary work in Tibet. I casually pointed out that he helped the Chinese Communist Party commit (cultural) genocide.

        Yeah… because we should just ignore any bad consequences of any actions that anyone did believing they’re doing a good thing?

        Dude, that’s what we do with kids art, not with adults discussing global politics.
