Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's a lie perpetuated by Freedom House, a US funded propaganda machine. Tibet not being a free country is like saying Hawaii isn't a free country. No shit, it's part of China. However, Tibet is an autonomous region with it's own governance and laws. The Dalai Lama is just upset because he lost his kingdom and his slaves.

Tldr: Tibet is far from the least free country on Earth because it is neither a country, nor is it bad.

I read that, then I see just a short video and it doesn't match up. https://youtu.be/F9UE3ou0H4o?si=jP0BbWZyjwML-nkc
