    Really weird that libs continue to hang into any sentiment regarding Tibet when the Dalai Lama literally just tried to get a child to suck on his tongue in public just last year.

      Even before he lost all credibility, the Dalai Lama said he would drop independence and pursue autonomy for Tibet as a part of China.

      All this is ignoring the wide popular support by Tibetan serfs for overthrowing their Lama masters in the first place.

        It was only recently that I learned China took over Tibet in the 1700s. You would think it happened a decade ago the way people talk about it.
