Authority, mostly. Despite what most people think (or, if we're being honest, fantasize), the majority of cases of nonce actions are not the results of someone pulling your kid off the street into a windowless, white van. It's someone with a level of unquestioned, unchallenged authority who are able to abuse their power. Teachers, religious figureheads, medical experts, and anyone else that can order people "beneath" them.
I’m not wishing death on the guy per se but I’m about to be really interested to see if they try to convince 21st century humanity that they can “prove” they found the little baby who is his reincarnation after he dies. They haven’t had to “identify” his reincarnated self since like the 1930s, right? And they claimed they knew it was him because the kid picked up some of the prior Dalai Lama’s possessions when presented with a mixed collection of things (so if they tested enough kids eventually one would happen to pick up the right things)? I’m looking forward to how they try to explain it in our modern era, and I’m perfectly sure certain credulous groups will totally eat it up.
This happens to be the right answer. When people experience senility as their brain shrinks severely inappropriate shit like this happens. My sister-in-law's grandpa kept flashing everyone and doing nasty things. My dad who has lost 7% of his brain mass likes to call people niggers all the time in public and make severely inappropriate comments about everything and everyone and even play with himself without even realizing it.
Trust me, the calls of "Free Tibet" are solely to free it from China. Given the chance, the Dalai Lama would have the torture dungeons renamed before days end. Tibet had a long history of serfdom and the concept of mutilating people as government sanctioned punishment was common.
Well, until evidence proves otherwise, I think we’re reading a bit much into all this…
Don’t get me wrong - I don’t “look up to him” as so many useful idiot Westerners do, but I also very much doubt he is a pedo/would do this in front of the cameras if not senile…
This one's more complicated I think as I remember he's sort of trapped in that position since the guy that's supposed to choose his successor the Chinese got to them and then they chose a pro Chinese person instead.
But on a whole you're not wrong, unfortunate part of being old is some lose their physical ability and some lose their mental faculties
It can be but it's more old age increases your risk of the worst if conditions.
Had a family member get dementia when they got older, they went from the friendliest, chatty and extroverted guy to a reclusive, nervous wreck over the span of 3 years, fuck that condition.
He's 87. He's always been a bit fucking weird (well, since at least, say, the 70s), but I feel like that is the least surprising thing in the world...
Life experience like that (being "the chosen one", leading your people into exile, et al) will fuck you up. It's just that we never saw it on camera quite like this before...
What is it with religious leaders and gay pederasty?

Joe Biden: "I tell you what, man, I got in the wrong line of work"
They're the only people who can possibly (in some universe) have the moral high ground on this issue. "It's different when we do it".
Bro WHAT THE FUCK
I fucking hate religious 'figureheads'
Well I guess he is going senile.
RIP Dalai Lama.

Winnie the Pooh is going to groom a loyal stooge. Everything else is trivial.
They already picked another llama last week for a different post. They will do the same with him when he dies soon.

You never had a fucking brain.

The Dalai Lama course on how to trash your global religious brand in 10 seconds!
He apologized so it's ok!!!
He must be useful to the wokies.
At least sniff their hair first.

What do I know, though?
Imagine living in a country where the senile old leader just starts groping kids on live TV. That would be horrible.
At least this one apologized
did you guys know that when jews do circumcision the tradition is to suck the baby's dick? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brit_milah#Metzitzah_B'Peh_(oral_suction)
I'm slowly moving towards a 'Logans Run' kind of society where as soon as someone hits 40 we just send them off planet.
Apparently at a certain age every human just becomes a piece of shit.
Imagine a society run by current under-40s...
Just imagine...
You think there would be less of this sort of thing..? I honestly doubt that...
You are thinking too short term, the reason people under 30 are so shitty is because of the old people pushing their bullshit.
Remove the problem and the youth returns to normal like historically they have always been.
I think in Logan's run it's the AI that's running the whole show.
Most of them were pieces of shit as young people too, just better at hiding it before they stopped caring.

Not sure how old the Dalai Lama is but I expect that somewhere between 75-80 you start losing your marbles.
My dad is 83, and he’ll still kick your ass and tell you why. Old age is an alibi abused by many elder folks.

Haha your last paragraph describes me over the last 3-4 years.
Kind of also me, to be honest…
I got really, really bad during the pandemic. But even before that, there was a time where I was struggling to even talk to most people…
I’m “better” now, in that sense, but my life is also much worse…
It hasn’t been a great trade, tbh. 😔
Hope you hold in there. But I do, genuinely, understand how you feel. 😑
Ignorance is bliss huh?
Your last paragraph - yeah…
Really, yes.
Frankly I think a lot of people are just barely hanging in there.

Come back in a few years kid.
Might he have done this in childlike innocence? He's from a different culture.
"IZ DAY CULCHUR!"
He is a grown ass man, and a major leader/political figure. There exists no reality where your idiocy makes sense.
No wonder Richard Gere liked him
Old fuck forgot that he was on Epstein's island for a bit.
WTF
OH the anal expert likes his tongue sucked by kids. The surprise
All the degenerates feel emboldened to just fly the depravity flag and issue a squishy "I'm sorry you're not down with child exploitation" apology.
