You can literally travel to China and find out yourself

I legitimately had a neighbor tell me “this is a truck neighborhood.” In a “joking, not joking” sort of situation.

Thank mr skeltal

Almost all of these “national security” trials are done in complete secret by the Adjudicative Committee, which is a political CCP body that oversees the public legal system. Its exact workings are a state secret, but it generally reviews all court proceedings and defers to the public court for most matters. However for any case which involves foreign affairs or national security, there is a high chance that the Adjudicative Committee will hold a national security trial in secret and deliver the verdict to the appointed trial judge, who will read the verdict into the public record.

You don’t even have to say it. Go hand out “free Taiwan” pamphlets in tiananmen square and I promise you that you will be arrested extremely quickly and tried in secret. Your “trial” will be a judge telling your lawyer the charges, verdict and sentence to an otherwise empty courtroom. If you are very lucky you will be deported with time served.

Sucking Xi Jinping’s salty taint.

Death always to tyrants. Overthrow the CCP. Democracy in Beijing!

Israel would solo Russia ggez.

I demand that Biden solve the climate crisis by personally eating ten babies every day.

All that does is make them more powerful because there are fewer voices pushing back against them.

Because the Democratic tent is filled with lazy cynics who actively sabotage outreach efforts, because mindlessly parroting propaganda is way easier than actual civic engagement.

Well then it’s a really good thing that it’s not just a single nation backing Ukraine.

It’s called defending Warsaw in Kyiv instead of defending Berlin in Warsaw.

Fucking do it then. If it’s that or kneel to a nuclear terrorist, I say give me liberty or give me death

Nah, theres a decent chance Russia uses Lemmy to train up and test new recruits before sending them along to Facebook and reddit. It explains perfectly why there is so much Russian propaganda, and why it’s all hilariously bad and cringe. And also where Dessalines gets his paycheck.

.ml is absolutely abusing the federation system though. They’ve been caught red handed modifying mod logs several times, and there’s evidence that they run a modified version of Lemmy which gives them additional levers of control.

.ml should be treated like the malicious state actors they very obviously are. It’s crazy to me that otherwise paranoid techies who are afraid that Google is recording their very boring lives, just doesn’t seem to care about actual, very plausible threats from actual, very plausible state actors.

It’s funny because you are still allowed to post these shit takes, but if you switched Hamas and Russia you’d be banned from .ml at light speed.

Bofa deez nuts

It’s obviously bofa
