The CIA has spent billions of dollars over decades supporting separatists in Tibet aimed precisely at bringing back this feudalism. The CIA armed and trained far-right Tibetan feudalists to wage a terror war against China's central government. This is their ideology:

I remember these guys coming to my school and dumping a bunch of sand on the table. It was supposed to be impressive or something. They were sold as exiled monks who just wanted to be holy and practice their religion. It was dumb. The world wasn't going to be worse off without their sand art and if they wanted to do it and we cared so much they could do it here, but it didn't seem reasonable at the time that China was banning sand art or quietly humming to yourself. I found a video of the Dali Lama and didn't see a man with sacred knowledge. The idea of picking some random child to be the pope of the mountain was never sufficiently romantic enough to make me care.
It's like the people who say China was oppressing them for doing yoga in the park. "That's all we were doing, I swear". You've got to be a certain kind of person to buy this.
I'm going to Cuba just as soon as my passport comes in. I'm so done. There's not much left to save here.
// as an aside, I just watched the last of us. Great show, but this sort of world isn't what people here think people would be like after the apocalypse. It's how they think they already are. It's not just the government that's the problem. There's something wrong with people. They are stupid, pig-headed, servile, fantasy minded people who hate and fear everything and everyone but their masters. The whole lot of them, and there's nothing to be done about it.
They were sold as exiled monks who just wanted to be holy and practice their religion.
It's pretty obvious that they aren't, as evidenced by plenty of not exiled monks practicing their religion. If they were really about being priests and tending to their duties or people, they would just make a deal with PRC like every other religious organization there, with benefits for both sides. But they are all about power, theocrats first, and they are waiting for USA to colour revolution China so they can get back to their seats.
Unfortunately they are not what they claim to be, or at least not all of them. I doubt any religious sect or follower that is not evil would kill living people and make spells out of human corpses to use, or rape young children. This is terrible.

I'm going to start calling the dalai lama the mountain pope.
I vaguely recall it being brought up in Killing Hope that the CIA trained Tibetan insurgents in Colorado.

致热刀头目：
为达赖喇嘛念经祝寿，下密院全体人员需念忿怒十五施食回遮法，为切实完成此次佛事，需于当日抛食，急需 温肠一副、头颅两个、各种血、人皮一整张 ，望立即送来。

这是一封普通的藏文信件，记者看到这个汉语翻译版，是在拉萨的西藏博物馆里一个名为“西藏今昔”的大型展览上。能以如此平常的口气来索要人头、人皮、人血和热肠，实在令人毛骨悚然。写信人是当时西藏地方政府的一个官员，索要之物竟是为达赖喇嘛祝寿做佛事。站在今人的立场，的确很难想象那是怎样一个视人命如草芥的时代！而写信的时间竟然是20世纪50年代初！

To the head of the "hot-knife":
For the Dalai Lama to recite the sutra birthday, the entire staff of the Lower Tantra Institute needs to recite the Wrathful Fifteen Giving Food back to the Shade Law, in order to effectively complete this Buddhist event, need to throw food on the same day, urgently need warm intestines a pair, two heads, all kinds of blood, a whole sheet of human skin, hope to send immediately.

This is an ordinary Tibetan letter, the reporter saw this Chinese translation version, is in the Tibet Museum in Lhasa on a large exhibition called "Tibet now and then". It is creepy to be able to ask for human head, human skin, human blood and hot intestine in such a common tone. The letter was written by an official of the local government of Tibet at that time, and the request was for the birthday of the Dalai Lama as a Buddhist service. From the standpoint of today's people, it is indeed difficult to imagine what kind of a time when human lives were treated like grass! And the letter was written in the early 1950s!
I don't think these horrible acts mentioned above are in line with human rights thinking
There are also documentaries depicting these tragic histories.

Oh, dude! Thumb Wars! That movie has the dumbest, most asinine and childish jokes and I love it.
And they're not done with them! It sounds like there's an upcoming "Thumb Wars: The Thighs of Skyskipper" movie.
Holy shit, so they are. I did not know that. And it seems to be coming out this May, too! Suck it, Disney, THIS is the fantasy sci-fi franchise I want!
