"Uyghur" lmao. Can't even bother to look up "East Turkestan". Might as well label the US "Gringos" and Puerto Rico "Boricua" on the map while you're at it.

    East Turkestan is a name of a terrorist organization, this is why they are using Uyghurs to cover up.

    The United States of America should be labeled as Occupied Native Land.

    Please read some history before writing silly things.

    The people now called Uyghurs took shape mainly in the 8th-9th centuries with the Uyghur Khaganate. This polity was centered in Mongolia, not in the Chinese heartland. The Uyghur Khaganate (744-840) maintained a cooperative relationship with the Tang dynasty. For example, during the An Lushan Rebellion, Uyghur forces assisted the Tang court in suppressing the uprising.

    After the fall of the Uyghur Khaganate in 840, defeated by the Yenisei Kyrgyz, some Uyghur groups migrated west into what is now Xinjiang and established the Qocho (Gaochang) kingdom (c. 850–1200). At that time, they primarily practiced Manichaeism and Buddhism. The Islamization of the region was a later, gradual process beginning around the 10th century, notably after the Kara-Khanid conversion to Islam, and it unfolded over several centuries.

    Xinjiang was incorporated into the Mongol Empire expansion, becoming part of the Chagatai Khanate. Later, the Qing conquest of the Dzungars brought the region under Qing control. The Qing dynasty was founded by Manchus, not by Han Chinese.

    Literally no they are not, read a single book and stop caping for a caste of pedophile slaver monks just because a bunch of TV shows in the 90s told you they were wise and exotic

    Also lol, did you throw in the "whatever you want to call where the Uyghurs live" part because you don't know where they live?

    Sorta. The dynasty that formed and ruled the tsardom of Russia were from Kievan Rus heritage by way of Rurik.

    Muscovy was the polity that really formed the framework of the tsardom out of the princedoms left in the wake of the Khanates.

    Almost like context is super important. The Nazis annexing Czechoslovakia was negative. The allies annexing Germany was positive. Very very few actions have innate moral character. Like killing is bad but if the person you kill is Adolf Hitler it's a good.
