    This is part of the larger conversation of persecution of russians, that you were denying was occurring. A user links you to examples, which you then answer with “not submitting to another country is genocide now?”. Thereby implying that because russian is spoken in Ukraine and you can purchase russian-language media, Ukraine was subjugated to Russia, and this thing where speaking russian - which parts of the Ukrainian population had always done - is being eradicated and russian-language media being removed, is somehow NOT oppression, but instead Ukraine bravely standing up to its invaders. A user then highlights the flaw in your logic - Which is that because Russia is invading, it’s not actually persecution to suppress your native russian speakers.

    So if chinese language is taught in your country and chinese publications are sold, this means your nation and culture has submitted to China?

    That depends, is china invading my country.

    Thereby claiming that pursuing and eradicating another culture is a-ok if a nation with a majority of that culture is invading you. Following that logic, it was all right to intern the Japanese.
