    I don’t want to scream “obvious feds” too loudly, but why is it every single one of these diaspora subreddits always sound exactly the same? I don’t mean to assume, but every single person there types like how an ignorant white guy would think that a “foreign” guy would type.

    “china bad because tibetans can’t make movies!”

    that’s the most strange accusation against china. something interesting is that they don’t care about the dalai lama either, but china has to be the bady guy anyways

      Also Tibetans do make movies, just no one in the west seen any because they are mostly in Tibetan language which goes doubly against the western narrative.

    ‘‘Day in and day out my chest hurts’’

    Yeah you might need to check that out:

    Bro, no one fucking cares, Tibet was liberated from slavery almost 100 years ago, slave owners are done, the main one is done and also exposed as pedo after whining for decades, Brad Pitt doesn’t give a shit about it after he had to act a nazi in your favorite movie, no one gives a shit, even some Westoid libs forgot about it. Tibet is free and prospering, monarchy and slavery long forgotten there as people enjoy in being the first economy in the world. Stop whining and enjoy it to, no one gives a shit, nobody misses slavery and monarchy, no one cares, shut the fuck up and get something better to do.

      Tibet was liberated from slavery almost 100 years ago

      Actually it’s more recent than most people think. The Democratic Reform in Tibet-Xizang happened only in 1959, that is less than 70 years ago. There are people still alive who remember the time before. Which is why this whole “Free Tibet” psyop has no chance in Tibet itself. People there have grandparents and great-grandparents who were serfs.

          that Tibet wasn’t liberated during 1940s.

          That surprised me as well when i first started learning about the liberation of Tibet. I had also initially assumed it happened concurrently with the founding of the People’s Republic. It’s sad that they had to wait ten more years, but at least they got there.

            Fr, I thought it just ended along with Civil War, imagine having to live that long with slavery after the rest of the country finally achieved freedom.

    “Evil CCP censoring Hollywood!”

    Truly delightful that even people in America can’t escape the brutal people’s dictatorship of Communist China. There is hope for us yet.

    so like… were these all diaspora from the fleeing aristocrat/theocrat class when the theocracy was ousted (obligatory “my recent ancestor had a monopoly on all eggs in china and the see see pee is evil” screenshot, except replace it with “my recent ancestor owned human skin drums of ritual importance”) or…?

    anyway “I cry for freedom thousands of miles away while my country is inhabited by a language that is foreign to us” while congregating on the anglophone webbed site

      theyre either americans larping or former aristocrats, a comment in the thread straight up says “my people traded the community for better living standards”, as if it was treason lmao. I wonder why these people would trade their community for a better life, its almost as if they werent the ones benefiting from it.

      i cant imagine real tibetans arguing in english in reddit.
