Is that something people were asking for?
You can literally travel to China and find out yourself
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.
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.
Calling you an asshole is not authoritarian
LGBT rights are human rights. If by “has a quasi-religious character” you mean that it is ideologically derived, then sure. Human rights are normative ideology. But to say that the idea of individual liberty and human rights are ideologically equivalent to watery tarts handing out swords, is to demonstrate an extremely profound ignorance of moral philosophy.
Pride flags have never been used as a symbol of hate?
Wow that sounds really familiar.
Right, fascism molds itself to a particular condition and ground truth. There’s actually a decent body of work which holds that it is a historical form of autocratic politics, and that searching for it in modernity is problematic because of how fungible the core ideology is. You can always stop fascism by stopping autocracy, regardless of whether you positively identify it as such, so all autocratic movements should be treated with the same level of urgency as Nazis. Easy peasy, okie dokie.
The biggest problem with this is that a lot of leftists like autocracy as well. And I am convinced that’s where a lot of this rhetorical pearl clutching really comes from. A whole generation of left wing opposition is effectively null and void because it reduces to a very inconvenient “well our autocracy is different…”
Nah, some of have been calling out right wing propaganda and the impact it’s having on the political scene for a while now. And it’s not just teens. Right wing propaganda has infested the left as well, to the point where you still have people repeating confirmed propaganda from the 2016 election because they’ve internalized it and can’t let it go.
It’s not that the left has bad messaging or unpopular ideas, it’s that there are a ton of cynics under the big tent. Cynics who actively poison outreach efforts because they are intellectually lazy, but love their own farts.
That’s not true, I actually am trying to turn your kids gay because I know it makes you mad.
Smoke more weed and your dreams will stop. Doctors hate this one trick.
My purpose for a VPN is more about connecting to WiFi APs I don’t control. Google VPN worked just fine for that.
Yes, they literally kidnapped a 7 year old child and continue to hold him hostage, over religious woo they do not officially believe in.
You don’t actually have to. Trust me I’ve been through this.
