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

Death always to tyrants. Overthrow the CCP. Democracy in Beijing!
People who place it hanging against the wall stand to wipe, like children.
I demand that Biden solve the climate crisis by personally eating ten babies every day.

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.

At this point I think it's funny that they'll basically ban me for making any post at all. I like to think that I'm taking up someone's time, while also adding more evidence of their hypocrisy to the mod log.
"Blue MAGA" isn't right or left, it's just very stupid, very obvious, propaganda
