Every time I bring up the Dalai Lama's slaves I get like 50 replies about how they weren't actually slaves, how it's CPC propaganda, how slaves under the Dalai Lama lived a better life than the average citizen in China, how they didn't have slaves, etc.
It's not that there's a lot of propaganda (which, granted, there is). It's that people cling to their propaganda and nothing we do will loosen that grip. That change has gotta come from within
Well then maybe the problem isn't that tankies aren't shitting on the Dalai Lama enough, it's that the western left lends credence to this propaganda and should fight it instead
