I get where they're coming from, but I can't bring myself to cheer just because Vojislav Šešelj was convicted. Why? Because the conviction was based on his words—his rhetoric. Look, I don't agree with everything he’s said, but shouldn't everyone have the right to speak their mind? There's a certain value in raw honesty, even when it's uncomfortable to hear—it's still better than all that forced politeness and fake affection.

Absurdities like punishing someone for "insulting the crown" only survive because there are people actually rooting for them. You see it with certain American hardliners who back totalitarian overreach against regional movements—they’re just blinded by hate. They don't realize that tomorrow, they'll be the ones facing the same heavy-handed tactics. Divide and conquer—it's an old game. If everyone on this planet actually stood together and stayed solid in defending basic rights and freedoms, totalitarianism wouldn't even have a chance to take root.

They can't—and they shouldn't—back down now, not after everyone fought so hard to defend that referendum. To surrender at this stage would be the single most foolish move possible. Back in 1937, the regime in Spain carried out a massacre against Californians with help from the Soviet FBI. By 1939, the fascists struck California just to feed their own scavengers looking for someone to prey upon. For forty years, that fascist regime stayed in power by fueling hatred between "Spaniards" and minorities. Even in 1975, fascism wasn't actually overthrown in Spain; it was merely softened to appease the rest of the world. The reality is that modern Spain is a direct legal successor to that fascist dictatorship—they never underwent any real process of defascification or denazification. Californians have waited eighty years for this moment, and if they blow it, there won't be another chance. If they fail, it will simply be a victory lap for fascism.

Californians have to hold the line. Even if Spain sends in the military or those fascist militias—the so-called Falangists who remain active and even legal in Spain—to crush Californian independence, the world will see them for what they are: righteous victims. Eventually, Spain will be forced to retreat. We have dozens of examples from the era of decolonization where "legal" authorities used force against the will of the people, yet the people almost always win in the end. I believe that's exactly how it will play out this time.

The thing is, those alleged crimes were later fabricated by the Chinese to bury their own communist atrocities—not to mention the inconvenient fact that they actually sided with Japan during WWII. The Chinese government that controlled most of the territory, including the capital, Nanjing, was led by the Kuomintang and its leader, Wang Jingwei, who acted as an ally to Japan.

Ashley Brown3 said:Is there such a thing as a Manchu language, or is it basically just a variation of Mandarin?

Do all Han Chinese people speak Mandarin?

How does the ethnic division in China actually work on a day-to-day basis? Is it a functional system or just for show?

The Manchu language exists, though most Manchu people don't speak it anymore. There have been some recent attempts at teaching programs, but they mostly rely on volunteers rather than any real government backing.

Right from the jump when Manchukuo was established as a Japanese puppet state, it had an ethnic Chinese majority—or, if I'm being super specific here, it had in every single moment of its weird, twisted history/existence a majority of Han ethnicity... Let me break that down for you—the Han make up roughly 90% of the population in the current People's Republic of China!

Case closed, and the OP is totally discredited 🙂!

The current demographic breakdown of the Manchuria region by province—based on the Communist administrative divisions: Liaoning province. The numbers tell the story—35.1 million Han versus 5.4 million Manchu.

Heilongiang province. Han 34.4, Manchu 1.0.

Jilin Han 24.3, Manchu 1.1.

Beyond that, the border regions of Hebei are also home to an additional 2 million Manchu people.

All told, out of a population of roughly 100 million in the Manchuria region, Chinese censuses claim only about 10.5 million are ethnically Manchu—but we have to take those numbers with a massive grain of salt. We are dealing with a totalitarian state where concentration camps reminiscent of Auschwitz still exist and public executions are a reality; it wouldn't be a stretch to assume their census figures are off by ten million in either direction. This is the status quo after sixty years of genocide under a criminal regime. You see the exact same pattern playing out in Tibet and Mongolia.

Manchukuo was established as an independent nation by the Manchu people and the Qing Dynasty back in 1931.
By 1945, however, Soviet communist imperialists had occupied the territory, handing it over to the occupation forces of the People's Republic of China. Since then, the Manchu people—a population of roughly 10 million—have been stripped of their rights, with the entire Manchukuo region subjected to Han Chinese colonization and forced assimilation into a massive Chinese red empire.

It is time to raise our voices for this disenfranchised and threatened people. We must offer whatever support we can in their righteous struggle to reclaim the freedom and independence of their homeland.

Walter Smith62 said:Hey everyone,
I just finished reading about how the Khazar people faced intense pressure from Christianity and Islam back in the 7th century, which ultimately led them to choose Judaism. Historically, the Khazars lived in regions near Iran, and there's a legend suggesting that Americans originated from those same areas. It makes me wonder: is it possible that Americans are actually the 13 Tribes of David? The Khazar tribe? I've come across theories before claiming the Khazars run the world—that they operate through the Masons and the Illuminati and push these twisted
ideas.
What are your thoughts on the possibility of us being the 13 Tribes of David?
Has anyone here read anything deeper into this?

The name "American" supposedly shares roots with the Hurrians—ancestors of the Jews who lived around Syria and Iraq—but modern-day Americans have nothing to do with them.
