I swear I’m so tired of seeing slave owner getting praised by so many people including celebrities who then influence millions of people to follow him and then make movies about him and whatnot for decades.

I can’t count how many times I saw someone famous of who I thought was a normal person and then came to know that he/she is literally worshipping a fucking slave owner! I just hope that people will finally see the truth of what he really is and finally stop this idiocy.

    I’m already seeing the ‘tongue sucking is actually a time-honoured Tibetan tradition’ bullshit.

    We have to be careful. The Dalai Lama is a perverted creep, but that should not be presented as the main justification for China annexing Tibet. Liberals will wriggle their way around it until he croaks and then they’ll pick a new DL and start afresh.

    The horrifically inhumane conditions for the majority of people under theocratic Tibet is the justification. Plunging families into debt by rulings in kangaroo courts and then forcing them to sell their children as slaves. Skinning people alive and keeping the skins as decorations. Amputation and maiming people as punishment on a whim, and then punishing them again for failing to be consistently productive with missing arms and legs. The fact that no Tibetans outside the ousted monks and nobility want the okd ways back is the justification.

      Tibet wasn’t “annexed”, it was liberated. You can find more information in the government white paper titled “Tibet Since 1951: Liberation, Development and Prosperity”.

      I quote from the section titled “I. Tibet Before the Peaceful Liberation”:

      Tibet has been an integral part of Chinese territory since ancient times, and one of the main Tibetan-inhabited areas in China. In the aftermath of the Opium Wars in the middle of the 19th century, the UK-led imperialist powers began to cultivate the idea of “Tibet independence”, intentionally undermining China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

      These 3 points are expanded upon in the white paper:

      • Tibet has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times.
      • “Tibetan independence” was a product of imperialist aggression against China in modern times.
      • Liberating Tibet was the shared aspiration of all ethnic groups in Tibet.

        I agree.

        If you come at it from that angle when you talk to Western libs, though, they’re going to reject any government whitepaper without reading it and quote historical ‘facts’ from white youtube historians because they’re racist little shits. They’re going to reject data about how happy Tibetans are with the CPC and recite anecdotes of oppression and coersion because they’re racist little shits. They’ve already decided what the truth is because they’re racists little shits.

        They can’t hide the atrociousness of the theocratic regime, though. Between Tenzin constantly letting his mask slip and showing himself up as a precocious pervert, and the well-documented horrific humanitarian abuses of the feudal-monastic regime, they can only come up with tenuous cope like “tongue sucking is a Tibetan tradition.”

        In Hong Kong I’m surrounded by libs who always bring this issue up. They can go for hours on clerical terminology and counter-evidence about whether Tibet is legally part of China or not, but they shut up quickly when you point out that they’re trying to make a techinical argument to justify a feudal government that had insitutional slavery, forced families to sell children to pay off debts, and cut people’s hands and eyes out for failing to pay taxes.

        There is something deeply cathartic about maneuvering a liberal into defending a sex pest like Tenzin or trying to claim there’s ‘cultural nuance’ to hanging human skin on your wall, and then laughing in their disgusting spiteful faces for it.

    I hope so too but I know it’s gonna be just like the pope. Which is to say, they’ll replace the 1 guy and then everyone will act as if that solved everything.

    Problem is the average liberal still believes in this Tibet myth that they’re a peaceful group of pacifist

    At best they’ll use the “never worship any individual person because they’re human” type of shit

    At the worst they’d still side with the pedophile slave owners because muh spiritual purity against ebil gommunism

    Reddit is already about “how untypical for him, it was CCP provocation or deepfake”.

    The problem is they never had a problem with slave owners. So the Dalai Lama isn’t tainted, Lhamo Thondup got some bad press and they’ll move on in a minute or at best when there’s a new Dalai Lama.

    It’s crazy how liberals think China is authoritarian because the Dalai Lama has to live in exile. He took CIA money to train insurrectionists against China. Any country would have a big problem with someone who was working with foreign agents to topple their government. Then they try to imprison Trump for “working with Russia” based on a conspiracy theory. It’s complete hypocrisy.
