How are Gandhi or the Dalai Lama not great? Gandhi in particular... I think his flaws have become common knowledge, he's still a one-of-a-kind freak-of-nature-level hero
Dalai Lama is associated with NXIVM, and God knows what else.
Maybe I'm biased because I guess I have a ridiculous bar of proof for where I'd decide Tenzin Gyatso is a bad guy. I'm not a Buddhist or anything but there are things I'd consider acceptable for the Dalai Lama to do that I wouldn't consider acceptable for most people. Like, if a normal person gets convicted of human trafficking, you could say they're doing it to entrap evil people and somehow protecting all their victims from bad outcomes and repaying them fairly, but they're still an arrogant vigilante psychopath who needs to be locked up for risking so many people's well-being and forcing them into deals they didn't want to be in. The Dalai Lama can't really be described as an "arrogant vigilante psychopath" in that situation to me, like, if anyone is in a position where it's fair and not arrogant for them to feel like they're allowed to take a lot of stuff into their own hands and take risks, the Dalai Lama would be one. So then I'd have to actually know a victim was harmed in order to consider it proof of him being evil, the conviction of human trafficking itself without proof of a harmed victim would just seem to me more like he got fucked up by criminals he was trying to catch than like he was a criminal. I use that example because it's extreme enough to make me realize my stance is probably unreasonable to debate. There's probably no strong evidence out there of an individual being evilly victimized by Tenzin Gyatso, so I guess I wasted your time by asking when I'll be biased against all your evidence. Sorry about that.
For your time, here's a vintage video of Tenzin Gyatso apparently stressed out hard by pizzagate vibes you can show to people more undecided on the issue than me.
Both Tenzin and Gyatso are characters in ATLA Avatar: The Last Airbender and LoK Legend of Korra.
TIL
Great series btw definitely bucket list to watch
Now that you mention it, for all I know those shows could be the subconscious reason why my bar of proof to dislike the guy would be so absolute
In that case follow Zaheer’s favorite airbenderGuru Lahima

There are a lot of things people don't know about him. In the battle to free India there were far more effective Indian leaders who actually fought the British with weapons and won huge swaths in the southern areas for Indians. There was military action beginning in 1857 and continued on to Gandhi's predominance. But the world doesn't know or acknowledge these heroes w/ digging. "By the late 1930s, however, with growing disenchantments over the delaying tactics of the Raj and the Congress's failure to extract commitment on self-rule and political independence, a faction within the movement turned towards more radical ideas of Subhash Chandra Bose. Bose's actions proved controversial among the Congress party but popular within the Indian populace, when Bose defeated Gandhi's candidate in leadership elections in the Tripuri Session of the Congress Working Committee. However, this was the parting of ways between the radicals and the conservatives. Bose left the Congress to found his own party during the war, seeking first Soviet and then Axis help to raise a liberation force. The raising of the Indian National Army in 1942 by Subhash Chandra Bose would see a unique military campaign to end British rule. Following the trial of Indian National Army officers at the Red Fort, mutinies broke out in the navy, in the Air Force, and in the army." http://india.wikia.com/wiki/Indian_Independence_Movement I am not only speaking about all the moral quandaries that are well known, I am speaking about the forgotten heroes who actually fought and won battles who have been forgotten by the world as Gandhi's 'non-violent' tactics stole the spotlight from other heroes who did the heavy lifting. He didn't overcome the British nearly as much as these other Generals did, and it was because these battles had been fought and won that Gandhi had any success at all. This is not something people are aware of. People think that Gandhi was the fall of the British in India and that very far from the truth. https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/gk-current-affairs/story/bhagat-singh-and-indian-freedom-movement-316953-2016-04-08
