No, it's the regurgitation of totalitarian regimes' standard propaganda, that is the first sign; that espouses common prosperity and national well-being by promising to advance the cause of their archetype of the model citizen.

What they're generally less vocal about initially is that they intend to eradicate by murder and genocide those deemed traitors and fifth-columnists within their respective societies.

When they are securely in power they publicly turn on 'the other' and demand all model citizens do the same. They then demand absolute loyalty and total obeisance to the party in all matters in order to advance common prosperity and national well-being.

Of course, they are actually accumulating absolute and unaccountable power, which is where the likes of you tend to double down on the propaganda - proportional to the amount of power amassed by the paramount leader.

If common prosperity and general well-being are what you were really driven by, you would have studied Bhutanese society and politics.

Didn't China liberate Hong Kong from British occupation in 1997?

Gawd, you ARE an idiot, parrot.

So if freedom is a natural instinct in human you are going to 'educate' it out of them by applying Xi thought. Millennia of hierarchical life observed in every animal and human species, at all times and places,  will now finally be RECTIFIED by Chinese common prosperity Xi Thought as you have been rabbiting on about it.

Never mind a bee - you have several fkkn bee hives under your bonnet. People who know you must be avoiding you like the plague.

"Cup of coffee?"
"That's such a freedom ideology question, driven by instinctive personal autonomy ideology and assumptions, addressed above'.

Under a totalitarian regime, the model citizen is whatever the regime says it is and submits to its goal of absolute and unaccountable power over the citizenry.

Absolutely it's an intention. All totalitarian regimes have a list of undesirable ethnicities and political dissidents deemed fifth-columnist enemies of the state.

"and the truth will set you free" - after the truth sets itself free.

It's now leaking out that the CCP allowed certain people, with enough guanxi with the party, to set up companies to test for the presence of covid RNA from PCR tests.

Naturally, being China under the CCP, these companies turned out to be reporting fraudulent results because they were not actually testing at all; they were applying CCP reporting quotas.

The Chinese people discovered this when millions of them, with green health codes, were being notified to report for transport to covid concentration camps.

They quickly discovered that testing companies were creaming off millions of dollars for fraudulent tests (cha bu duo strikes again).

Of course, after the truth set itself free, the CCP went into damage control and is deflecting blame to a few bad apples. However, all of these companies' owners and directors had close and direct relationships with CCP officials and its security bureau.

To rub it in further, the CCP has applied quotas on the number of people required to be quarantined in covid concentration camps. If a camp is not full, the CCP directs the local authorities to up its quota of positive test results The reason for this is that those quarantined must pay for their own quarantining, so the process has become a cash cow for the party.

Ah ha, I note your added rider...as if truth has to set itself free (an oxymoron)....before truth can set individuals free.

Good try, but no cigar.

Objective truth exists, and therefore cannot "set itself free", but rather, individuals who discover truth can set themselves free.


Try this quote:

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings".

My explanation (the complete "word salad" - in full):

Instinctive 'survival of the fittest' behaviours, delusional 'individual natural rights' (which don't exist in nature), and liberal "freedom values" ideologies  (conveniently favouring the most competitive) ......

explains the insane human condition of endless wars and endless poverty, in a world of plenty.

Well.... congrats for recovering your calmness, but it's 'mirror time', I'm afraid, though of course your ideological blindness - explained above in the "word salad" despised by you, means you are incapable of looking in the mirror...... in a blindness known as the human condition.

The CCP is the last of your problems; the Ukraine war (merely another of mankind's endless wars, in this case an ongoing proxy war between NATO and the defunct USSR in the present form of Russia) is driving up energy and food prices and is wrecking the market economy so beloved by you....

Which is why a Santos goon today actually  referred to the govt's. market intervention via a gas price cap, as "soviet market intervention"....exactly what is needed.

The situation is so bad, the Chinese people, are now questioning the entire CCP structure - recognising it as hopelessly corrupted and in need of overthrow.

Reports coming out of China are similar to those of Hitler in his bunker towards the end of WW2. Apparently, Xi is being lied to by foreign-language translators and apparatchiks about the true state of the CCP's losing control of the country for fear of angering him.

The current border clash along the LAC with India appears to have been ordered and initiated by the PLA's western command and not from Beijing.


Ironically, no other country would want to see this happen, as the political vacuum, post-CCP overthrow, as China rips itself apart, would be gargantuan.
