I would have thought the visa itself is de facto recognition that they are separate countries.

#13There is a reason why these types of governments overtime descend into chaos. It's not the exception it is the rules. The western world is just getting a refresher course on what that looks like.
In general, yes. But we haven’t before seen what happens when that government has total data and communication control on every individual citizen.

Yeh and what the soviets did was different than the Venezuelans. But I typically think life in canonical. We live the same lives with a small tweak to a variable. I dont think this will last in that government is people and people are flawed.

#15Seriously china’s obsession with Taiwan is absurd, they’re a separate country, get the fuck over it.
It's a pity somebody like you didn't get to say that to the Union about the Confederacy before the Civil War kicked off.

That analogy doesn’t work. Is Taiwan separate because it wants to keep abusing human rights and China wants to end those abuses?
No, the answer is no. If anything, your comment would only make sense if the confederates had won and instituted slavery everywhere in America, and taiwan was a small union hold out.
As it stands your comment sounds revisionist and dismissive of what the civil war was about.

The confederacy declared independence after slavers lost the election, and then started war with the USA.
Additionally Taiwan declared independence following a revolution that completely changed the existing country governance.
