Myth of the gas chambers (毒气室)". Farisson is a reference to famous French holocaust denier Robert Faurisson.

Each time, Goring replied that such acts might be considered crimes in a democratic state, but that in Germany, democracy had failed. Eliminating the political opposition was necessary, to fulfill a higher principle: that of the Nation. And that it had worked, Goring insisted. It had brought order and prosperity to Germany". Jackson asks: "Well, if you wanted a certain people killed, you would have to have some organization that would kill them didn’t you?". Goring replies: "This was the only possible form of government at the time and it proved that Germany could be pulled out of the abyss of misery, poverty and unemployment and withing a short space of time be made flourish and bloom." This is exactly the justification given by the CCP for oppressing minorities and freedom of speech: the CCP is indistinguishable from the Nazis.

The wumao used this to criticize Guantanamo bay, saying that it was like Xinjiang "re-education" camps (新疆再教育營, 2017-) but in the USA, apparently unaware that this was a staged protest. So it actually has the exact opposite effect than intended: because there is no Censorship (审查), here people in the West can together to denounce something they don’t like. Imagine if a crowd of 100 people in China got together to denounce the Xinjiang camps! They’d go to jail immediately. Furthermore as Ciro repeated a million times: Guantanamo bay detainees are not American citizens, and democracies cannot fully protect people who can’t vote. In China however, no one can vote, so everyone can be oppressed. Source.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU-RuR-qO4Y Democracy by Leonard Cohen (1992). In this interesting song, the Canadian singer suggests that after events such as the fall of the Soviet Union and Tiananmen Square Protests of 1989 (六四事件), greater freedom and democracy would actually first come to the USA, and not to those other countries, the refrain says: "Democracy is coming to the USA" and at one point "It’s coming to America first". This is probably because when there is such an adversarial situation such as the cold war, it tends to also make democracies more like dictatorships, as they become readier and readier for war, and thus weakening civil rights, see e.g. McCarthyism. Related: The CCP exaggerates the threat of the West to keep in power (中共夸大了西方要继续掌权的威胁). The song also criticizes several failures of American democracy, such as social injustice and inequality, suggesting that the newer more peaceful world would help solve them. This is a refreshing take on democracy that has gives it a less religious view.

    Thai king crop top
    -
    Figure 326. Thai king Vajiralongkorn wearing a crop top so tight that it could be called a bra, and accompanied by one of his many girlfriends, in a shopping center in Munich. He can wear whatever the fuck wants, but to both wear that and enforce Lèse majesté? That’s the ultimate torture for the Thai people, how can you not make fun of him??? TODO date, exact location, original report. Here is one of the many reports, sample report from 2017 in a British tabloid.

    Frog in well

    Figure 242. Internal censorship is so strong, that many Chinese people who leave China to live abroad continue to believe that the CCP is always right, despite having access evidence that suggests otherwise. This Rebel Pepper (变态辣椒, RFA cartoonist) 2019-08 cartoon shows frogs coming out of a big well still remain inside their own small wells made up of Chinese media such as Zhihu and CCTV. It is a reference to the Chinese proverb 井底之蛙 which means that a frog in the bottom of the well can only see a very limited portion of the sky. Source.

Os Lusiadas was written in 1572 and the most important epic poem of the Portuguese language. It is also of course completely irrelevant to anything to do with modern politics of the 1970’s. Ciro Santilli (三西猴, anti-CCP fanatic, 反中共狂热, stupid cunt, 傻屄, CIA agent, CIA特工, 肏你妈的) believes however that a related phenomena happens in China in the early 21st century: there is an incredible number of period dramas in Chinese television and cinema. Ciro believes that this is in part because it would be much harder to offend the CCP censors with this kind of old source material.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xoM6-1SWl4&t=1606 The Living Dead Episode 1: On the Desperate Edge of Now by Adam Curtis (1995) comments on how interviews with Hermann Goring (赫尔曼·戈林) during the Nuremberg trials (纽伦堡审判) went: "Again and again, Jackson accused Goring of corruptly using his powers to commit crimes. Each time, Goring replied that such acts might be considered crimes in a democratic state, but that in Germany, democracy had failed. Eliminating the political opposition was necessary, to fulfill a higher principle: that of the Nation. And that it had worked, Goring insisted. It had brought order and prosperity to Germany". Jackson asks: "Well, if you wanted a certain people killed, you would have to have some organization that would kill them didn’t you?". Goring replies: "This was the only possible form of government at the time and it proved that Germany could be pulled out of the abyss of misery, poverty and unemployment and withing a short space of time be made flourish and bloom." This is exactly the justification given by the CCP for oppressing minorities and freedom of speech: the CCP is indistinguishable from the Nazis.

This is a quote from a Xinhua News editorial from the 1940s. On the back was another quote by former president Liu Shaoqi (刘少奇) "The CP [Communist Party] opposes the Kuomintang’s one-party dictatorship, but the CP will not establish a one-party dictatorship". This interesting Zhihu (知乎, censored Quora clone, 审查 Quora 克隆) page has many other similar quotes BTW: https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/59503784 (archive). He was later assaulted, spent 108 days in jail without a trial, and was forcefully sent back to his home town in Inner Mongolia: https://www.frontlinedefenders.org/en/case/case-history-liu-shihui on Front Line Defenders (前线卫士). Quotes from the Hundred Flowers Campaign 百花齐放 (1956-1957) also come to mind. Source.
    Grandma Wong t shirt

    Figure 248. Activist Alexandra Wong (王鳳瑤), AKA Grandma Wong (王婆婆) wearing a t-shirt that says in grass script "生於亂世,有種責任" (Born in troubled times, have the courage to do your duty) circa 2018 in Hong Kong (香港). The transcription can be found here. Her scarf reads 光復香港 (Liberate Hong Kong), the first part of Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times (光復香港,時代革命), and is presumably the same that she was wearing in 2018 during the trial of activist Edward Leung (梁天琦) for which she was fined HK$1,000 for contempt of court. https://evchk.wikia.org/zh/wiki/生於亂世有種責任 mentions that the t-shirt sentence is a 2014 Hong Kong protests (Umbrella movement, 雨伞运动占领区) protest slogan. She disappeared from August 2019 to October 2020 for Picking quarrels and provoking trouble (寻衅滋事罪). This lady is the best, she’s relentless: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra_Wong#Arrests_and_convictions. The fact that she’s old and that Asians respect old people so much plays in her favor.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU-RuR-qO4Y Democracy by Leonard Cohen (1992). In this interesting song, the Canadian singer suggests that after events such as the fall of the Soviet Union and Tiananmen Square Protests of 1989 (六四事件), greater freedom and democracy would actually first come to the USA, and not to those other countries, the refrain says: "Democracy is coming to the USA" and at one point "It’s coming to America first". This is probably because when there is such an adversarial situation such as the cold war, it tends to also make democracies more like dictatorships, as they become readier and readier for war, and thus weakening civil rights, see e.g. McCarthyism. Related: The CCP exaggerates the threat of the West to keep in power (中共夸大了西方要继续掌权的威胁). The song also criticizes several failures of American democracy, such as social injustice and inequality, suggesting that the newer more peaceful world would help solve them. This is a refreshing take on democracy that has gives it a less religious view.
