Liberating the people of Tibet from a feudal theocracy, from poverty and illiteracy. The horror they must be suffering.

I don’t think many Tibetans would welcome a CIA-backed Dalai “suck my tongue” Lama coup government.

Liberating Germany from Nazi rule, the horror!

If you count the Allied victory as the invasion & occupation of Germany, you must count the liberation of Tibet as an invasion and occupation.

Tut‐tut, I see that feddit.org has blacklisted lemmygrad.ml members, which explains why Enkrod overlooked my comment on the Western Allies’ lackluster excuses for liberation.

Of course, I could have made my comment longer, such as specifically mentioning how the Western Allies maintained Fritz Schaeffer as Bavaria’s minister president. That wasn’t a secret either.
