  How is Texas oppressed by being a state?

  As far as Taipei, it’s not oppressed, the opposite. It’s allowed to control itself under the guidance of the government, as it always has. That’s the definition of an autonomous region.

    Texas: They aren’t even allowed to get basic healthcare there, or have a gender.

    Taiwan: sure, that’s why literally nobody complains about CCP presence….oh wait. Are you usually in the habit of denying reality and ignoring your own eyes?

      For Texas, that’s their choice. They actively choose that, and have the freedom to do so. The US isn’t making them. They aren’t oppressed.

      As far as Taipei, in any group of people you’ll always have some people complaining about something. There are fewer people pushing for an independent Taiwan than there is pushing for an independent Texas.

        Texas is willingly part of the USA.

        Any real secessionist movement is a farce.

        Taiwan on the other hand is not part of China, it’s a nation of its own and has as much claim to mainland China as the mainland does to Taiwan.

        Taiwan being a democracy makes it the easy choice.

        Tibet should be free too, but unfortunately doesn’t have the backing of Nuclear Powers to keep it so.
