"Around the world, authoritarian regimes are increasingly using religion not just as a cultural instrument but as a strategic pillar of political consolidation.

China’s attempt to designate the new Dalai Lama in violation of longstanding Tibetan tradition is the most visible example of this trendAmal Chandra (The UnPopulist)
Zhi Zhu 🕸️ reshared this.
"Authoritarian regimes don’t just politicize religion: they reconstruct it to consolidate power, recognizing that spiritual legitimacy shapes identity, loyalty, and meaning. By reengineering faith through state-approved narratives, reincarnation claims, or religious law, they strip believers of spiritual agency and frame dissent as heresy."
