I guess that rules out the US.
At the rate things are going, the kid’s gonna need to be born off-planet.
He’s actually making a political statement, imho, though. He’s attempting to prevent China’s inevitable attempt to replace him with one of their own.
China already took custody of the young Panchen Lama, who plays an integral part in identifying the reincarnated Dalai Lama.
I’d say their attempt to replace him is more than inevitable – it’s already underway.
Ironically musk starting a servitude-built Mars colony and then the next religious leader that can just exist in a vacuum without dying or breathing is born there or something, is basically where I’m putting my faith in this timeline I live in; because it appears logic and human compassion were cool ideas when more people were using psychedelic drugs.
Well, I was born before things really went south, for example. He didn’t specify it had to be “free” currently…?
The Bitcoin reserve might be the closest thing to property rights the US has achieved in a century. Its been 10 years of stealing peoples gold and purchasing power, in order to deliver stellar bailouts to risky bankers and hedge funds.
It’s not a bitcoin reserve it’s a corrupt shitcoin reserve so that musk and pals can pilfer US dollars. Do you really just believe everything the proven liar says?
They’re going to force the US to buy it from them at a high cost, when the economy tanks and the coin doesn’t they’ll buy everything back for a fraction of what it would cost otherwise.
Well they’re keeping all their confiscated shitcoins, and they’re finding a budget neutral way to buy additional Bitcoin, according to the white house website.
As far as pilfering, the money supply grows at nearly 10% a year, gold prices rise 10% a year, housing a bit less; but its still a great store of value. If you believe in housing bubbles that gatekeep necessary goods behind 30 year loans, and you believe in misallocated capital that requires progressively larger bailouts, then the existing system works great.
Oh, well if it’s on the White House website it’s definitely not a lie!
Oh that’s cheeky. China has control of the current Panchen Lama, don’t they?
Yeah they disappeared him and his family when he was just 6 years old, then announced a loyalist the new Panchen Llama. That was 30 years ago.
it’s cool that he can know these things
Actually, anyone can make up stuff as much as they like.
Yes, but it’s the fanbase that matters.
You can call it a cope but the writing is on the wall for them: the Dalai Lama either exists outside of China in the next generation or there is no next generation as the dictatorship exerts full control over them.
It’s over for them. Their temples have been torn down, their faith has become a political tool.
Alright first one to Suck my tongue is the next Dalai Lama!
His holiness, the great pedophile.
Please tell me that’s Bobby.
It is indeed, adult Bobby Hill!
Interesting. Fanfic or is this some Easter egg tucked away at sxsw this year?
Don’t know about that specific picture, but the premise of the KOTH revival airing later this year involves an adult Bobby working as a chef at a restaurant.
Honestly I don’t know why but im a little hopeful that the revival will be good.
Might be a younger Bill
Mkay, so Peggy cheated on Hank? Lol
I don’t envy a kid who suddently gets chosen to be the head of a religion.
Theres only so many places with concentrations of tibetan buddhists. it wont be India, china, or tibet. That leaves Mongolia or Russia.
My insane prediction:
The next Dalai Lama will be born to the one random Tibetan Buddhist family living in a small town in rural Alabama.
Of course, is I was the Lama, I would throw a curve ball and come back as transgender Nigerian woman, just to mix things up.
unlikely, he clearly said, free world.
I thought he was born in Arlen, TX?
Just wondering, is he gonna have a father that sells propane and a Laotian GF?
What would be really cool, was if the kid didn’t belong to a Tibetan buddhist family. It was just some random kid in rural Alabama. Think about it: “We have found the 15th Dalai Lama! It’s a boy called Billybob Jackson”
Not Alabama, but there is a Lama from Minnesota
That doesn’t rhyme tho.
If you ascribe to the idea that the Dalaï Llama is/was a cia operative, and a sort of bridge/conduit between the interests of East and West, this sets up quite the “lottery” for where power may shift.
Because his followers are quite far and wide, not just of “race” (and I use that very loosely), it creates a very powerful base that will follow a sort of leader.
Interesting timing, especially since his long time friend the Aga Khan just passed away.
Isn’t that the plot of little Buddha?
Is the panchen lama still imprisoned in China? How will they find the next Dalai lama?
He is most probably dead or the spirit of the Dalai Lama died in him.
It’s doubtful that they killed him, he was just a kid when they took him. They have him squirrelled away somewhere, having gone through heavy indoctrination. Just waiting for the Dali Lama to die.
Dude is just another example of organized religion protecting pedos.
Shit, they’re onto me.
I know, religion is bad an’ all that, but I like this guy. Always did.
The stuff he tells to the world is very different from what he tells his own followers. Let’s not forget that he comes from a very long tradition of repressive theocracy.
Not to mention that he’s setting up a child to be indoctrinated their whole life.
Worse then raping children and a “god given” mandate to colonize and exploit the world? Just saying that most religions are like this
The religions where you chill on a stone all your life and meditate are basically the only ok religions.
If that was the version of Buddhism he’s advocating for Tibet would still be an autonomous region instead of under direct control.
They had child sex slaves and a caste system that would make some parts of India blush.
I’m still disappointed he’s not an actual llama.
Not in this life anyways
