The movie The Long Walk, which is actually really good, features Nazis and common criminals being imprisoned by those nasty Soviets. There’s a scene where the main characters get to Mongolia and see a huge sign of Mongolia’s leader shaking hands with Stalin, and they say something like: “Oh, no! It’s here, too!” Then they find a Buddhist temple in Mongolia which has been smashed, the obvious implication being that the narsty communists did it. White liberals love Buddhism because it allows them to pretend that they are above the fray and better than everyone else; it’s impossible for them to conceive of the fact that it was used as a tool of oppression under feudalism (and even under Japanese imperialism). There are still Zen temples in South Korea which were constructed during the period of Japanese domination.

They’re periodically huge fans of Hinduism and certain boutique flavors of Islam for the same reason.

Slaver pedos deserved worse

I believe this film’s plot is based on a book that a Nazi wrote
I’ve also met Americans who base their historical knowledge of Tibet on this movie :doomer:
The book is by an SS sergeant. Brad Pitt plays him in the movie.
Interesting that the movie makes such a big stink about him getting detained by the British “just for being as German citizen”. Maybe the “I am literally a Nazi officer” had something more to do with it.
It is bad when you liberate an oppressed people from the the brutal, slave owning, feudal theocracy.
Oh that’s the one where brad Pitt plays a Nazi mountaineer right? Sick
The average American is more brainwashed than any other human being in world history.
The director of “Seven Years in Tibet,” Jean-Jacques Annaud, subsequently released a letter expressing slavish regret. He “solemnly declared” that he never supported Tibet independence and never had contact with the Dalai Lama. “Moreover,” he added, “becoming friends with him is out of the question.”
Buckled like a belt Respect to Richard Gere for sticking to his convictions. Sure no major studio will touch him with a 10 foot pole. Small price to pay for standing up for Tibet. Seriously someone he knows has read :parenti-hands: if he read God and His Demons he’d still be starring in blockbusters.
The same Tibet where the lamas had forbidden the education of women, kept serfs, and basically ran the entire nation as a religious fascist nightmare? That Tibet?
The same Tibet where the People’s Liberation Army marched in, destroyed the temples, shot the monks, and started teaching women to read?
Isn’t this revealed to be a dream sequence btw?
Yes. But it’s implied to be foreshadowing.
Who would have thought that a Nazi would dream of violent genocide of foreigners?
