#lhasa — Public Fediverse posts

Anlässlich des Geburtstages von Tenzin Gyatso, des 14. Dalai Lama (* 06.07.1935) erinnert sich auch die ZDF-Spielfilmredaktion wieder an Tibet. Doch das Land wird hier nur dargestellt als entgrenzte Projektionsfläche für spirituelle Sehnsüchte und als Bühne für die persönliche Erweckungsgeschichten eines Nazis. Jean-Jacques Annaud bedient diese Logik mit all der grandiosen Kraft des Kinos – und scheitert gerade deshalb daran, Tibet als politischen Ort ernst zu nehmen. (ZDF, Wh.)

"Non dimentichiamo il #Tibet nell'anniversario della rivolta di #Lhasa del 1959.
La repressione rimane implacabile.
A parte il torrente di propaganda statale—ben finanziata e amplificata negli ultimi anni dai social media controllati dallo stato—quasi nessuna notizia indipendente sfugge al Tibet."

On est lundi, et cette chanson de #Lhasa de Sela est toujours un incroyable banger : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc8DP0YMa1w.
Les paroles, l'interprétation... tout y est.
(Oui oui, c'est facilement la 5ème fois que je poste la même chanson...) #music

@AndreasSebayang Population density is a very good point. Although, looking at the connections to #Urumqi and #Lhasa, it seems to me (as a non-expert) as if their was also a political project behind it that aims at national unity for the #PRC.

The #EU could have their own political #rail project for a democratic version of unity for the continent, too.

But that would of course require money + the guts to stand up to corporate lobbying from the automobile & airline industry.

The most turbulent flight routes on each continent:

🇦🇷 Mendoza → 🇨🇱 Santiago (South America)
🇳🇵 Kathmandu → 🇨🇳 Lhasa (Asia)
🇺🇸 Albuquerque → 🇺🇸 Denver (North America)
🇫🇷 Nice → 🇨🇭 Geneva (Europe)
🇿🇦 Durban → 🇿🇦 Johannesburg (Africa)
🇳🇿 Christchurch → 🇳🇿 Wellington (Oceania)

Turbulence is not random.

From the Andes and Himalayas to the Rockies and Alps, certain flight paths are consistently rough due to towering mountains, shifting wind patterns, and powerful jet streams. These are the forces behind every bump and jolt in the sky. 🏔️✈️🌪️
