Following a dream I had three years ago, I have become deeply moved by the plight of the Tibetan people, and have been filled with a desire to help them.

C.I.A dream control I guess.

It’s actually a quote from FBI agent Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks and I’m pretty sure Lynch knew exactly what he was doing lol

[–] 666@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 6 months ago

Holy shit, I have no idea why I didn't realize that.

Honest to god sounds like some shit an older lib would say.

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

i am pretty sure lynch is just a huge lib lol

[–] BigLenin@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

Eh, Lynch's politics are a bit incoherent. He's also into some woo woo shit so I suspect he has a fetishized view of Tibetan Buddhism.

As much as this is true, it gives me whiplash to the 90s regardless. Memories of granola libs wearing free tibet shirts.

Lisa Simpson randomly yelling "free Tibet" like it's her catchphrase

Today's offering is brought to you by the Tibetan government in exile chefs-kiss

Good. Now let's check its funding

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Tibetan_Administration#Funding

According to a Chinese source, between 1964 and 1968, the U.S. provided 1.735 million dollars to the Dalai Lama's group each year.[14] In October 1998, The Dalai Lama's administration stated that it had received US$1.7 million a year during the 1960s from the Central Intelligence Agency.[15]

In 2002, the Tibetan Policy Act of 2002 was passed in the U.S.[16][17] In 2016, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a grant of US$23 million to CTA.[18]

In 2017, U.S. president Donald Trump proposed to stop aid to the CTA in 2018.[19] Trump's proposal was criticised heavily by members of the Democratic Party like Nancy Pelosi,[19] and co-chair of the bipartisan Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, Jim McGovern.[20] In February 2020, at the annual National Prayer Breakfast, Pelosi prayed as Trump attended; "Let us pray for the Panchen Lama and all the Tibetan Buddhists in prison in China or missing for following their faith".[21]

They deleted it in shame after being dunked on too hard, mission accomplished.

[–] Pili@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago

Now they'll make an angry post on lemmy.world to complain about the evil tankies who disagreed with them.
