"Lam urges next leadership to toughen up for ‘political struggles’ “ | SCMP

I’m not a big fan of what Beijing used to call “harmonisation”. What the west calls “unity”, as opposed to horrid, and always, seemingly, increasing “divisiveness”. This sounds nice, but is not the way of the world. "One Divides into Two". As Hegel said. As Mao Tse-tung said. As PF said. 

Here, snip below, is Carrie Lam, our Chief-exec, speaking fluent Commie-talk. 

“[The government and the people] need to go in the same direction. If our thinking was too different, it’s meaningless to hold our hands and walk together,” she said.

“But now that one country, two systems is back on the right track with national security protected and the electoral system improved, this should be the best time, since the handover, for us to move forward.”

And how do we think that the “government and the people” will go in the same direction, how we will “walk together"? Why, by the people accepting what the government says, of course.

We, in the West, have decided that the adversarial system is the one that in the end gets better results, even as it’s messier along the way. People get to thrash out their differences. Enough of this “one party” idea. Hopping along with Carrie, happily holding hands, skipping along the yellow brick road, only to find, at the end, a fraudulent wizard.

By the way, this same issue is something I often wonder about in the US. There’s only one Cable station on the conservative side, Fox News, and there are many on the Left -- CNN, ABC, MSNBC, CNBC, NPR, etc. Yet many on the Left want to shut down Fox, the one and only viewpoint that differs.

We need differing viewpoints.

Not “harmonisation”, not “unity”. These are today’s Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs, aka, "Wizard of Oz” aka "Oz, the Great and Terrible”, Wizard the fraud.
