Beyond even that, they praise inviting people to negotiate and then murdering those negotiators.

It’s not an oxymoron, the idea is that when there are forces with opposed interests, one has to win. Note that this is talking about opposed interests, not interests that are merely in conflict.
So no matter how much you try to make concessions for the other, you have to choose if you want a bourgeois dictatorship (liberal democracy) or a proletariat dictatorship (people’s democracy) at the end of the day. Socialists just use less euphemism, and therefore accused of “admitting to dictatorship”, but a liberal democracy is the exact same type of dictatorship. The bourgeoisie interests dictate, and they make concessions for the sake of the proletariat.
Can you point to any of CIA’s metainfo about this file?
I believe this is the page you’re looking for. It’s very minimal. https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp80-00810a006000360009-0

Isn’t that just lurking behaviour?
Aria@lemmygrad.mlto Memes@lemmy.ml•Amerikkka land of the jailed (But China is defo AuThOrITarIAn!!)17·14 days agoIt’s weird to me that this particular law was the one the colour revolutionaries rallied behind.
A Hong Kong resident confessed to having committed a murder on Taiwan. China extradites people summoned for court or with arrest warrants issued by the Taipei rebel government to Taiwan as long as it’s for non-political offences. So they would extradite this murderer to be tried on Taiwan.
Different parts of China have different laws, because it’s a big country with autonomous regions. Hong Kong, not that big, but for historical reasons have their own laws as well. If someone has an arrest warrant issued by one of the other Chinese governments, they will extradite the person to their jurisdiction. If it’s a different country, with which China has an extradition treaty, then they will extradite them to Beijing (the Chinese national government) and Beijing will send them to that other country.
Taiwan is neither a separate country, nor a Chinese government whose arrest warrants Hong Kong respects. But the guy confessed to murder. He should be tried. So new legislation is required to make it legal to extradite him to Taiwan, either directly or through Beijing.
That was the initial controversy.
Aria@lemmygrad.mlto Memes@lemmy.ml•Amerikkka land of the jailed (But China is defo AuThOrITarIAn!!)11·14 days agoestablish a platform discussing history of Tiennaman square or Uyghurs without strictly adhering to government set guidelines, then they will likely be prosecuted.
Tienanmen square has a 600 year history. You’re referring to one event, which is censored. But even that doesn’t cover the portion that is relevant to the history of Tiennaman, no part of the protests is censored. Uighur history also doesn’t have any censors.
It is true that you have been able to identify one censor in your two topics (albeit with inaccurate wording). It’s also a particularly sensitive topic with strong disinformation campaigns targetting it. In 2020, many states worldwide issued censors on COVID and vaccine related topics for similar reasons.

I will say though, Gnome dropping support for other window managers does suck. That is them removing infrastructure that non-(or semi) Gnome users depend on.
What is this a reference to? Who quoted Tucker Carlson?
This is still putting some equivalency on a non-aggression treaty and actual military alliance.
Brits insist they’re a democracy, don’t they? They’re included in the “Democratic west vs authoritarian east” rhetoric. Weird how the goalpost shifts when your side is transparently coming out worse.
Aria@lemmygrad.mlto Memes@lemmy.ml•But yet the DPRK is still "a threat to world peace"? Interesting 🤔😁11·2 months agoThe dictators that the USA supports are people who don’t have popular support or a pre-existing legal framework they derive their power from. They are governors working as proxies for the USA, deriving their authority from the USAs guns. It doesn’t just mean people you don’t like. Russia’s “democracy” is as legitimate as most European liberal democracies. The DPRK has never propped up a dictator, they don’t have the power to.
Are you calling the people on the receiving end of the genocide “genocidal”? Is your argument that if they just committed suicide, the pitiable Nazis wouldn’t need to go through the bore of conducting the genocide, so their refusal equates to demanding a genocide?
