So what? Everyone knows Spanish criminal law isn't up to modern European human rights standards. The European Court of Human Rights has found Spain violating ECHR due to handing out punishments for offences as ridiculous as "insulting the Crown".

These decisions smell like they might end up before the Court as well. If found in violation, for sake of consistency at least, personally I think the EU Commission should take a serious look whether this should elicit a rule of law review akin to that applied to Poland and Hungary. (Note: I'm not saying this is necessarily as serious.)
But this is entirely a fault in human thinking that we should strive to overcome.

I have with a camera lens, but Amazon didn't honor the original price. I had to pay the difference for the 'real' version. In my case though, it was not a knock off or grey market, but the seller was selling the cheap version of the same lens as the more expensive version.

> According to the sociopolitical left, everybody should have an equal voice

There are well-documented cases when that's patently not true. For example, when "those whose voices are louder", to go with your description, voice an opinion that no-one is stopping others to be as loud as they wish, they are told that their opinion does not count, because they have privilege, and that they should keep quiet and learn. And yes, they may be accused of misogyny (as well as other evils) in the process.

These types of systems are generally not competitive with PV for electricity, since they require a lot of concentrated solar energy thus limiting the options for deployment. However, they are great for generating heat. And with heat you can trivially desalinate water. Since trees can be a nice carbon sink, I've often wondered if this type of scheme might make sense:

- Plant heliostat molten salt reactors in desert coastal areas (the concentrated solar kind)

- Use generated heat to desalinate water (e.g. Multi-stage flash distillation)

- Use desalinated water to provide irrigation

- Plant (potentially GMO'ed) trees and other bootstrapping organisms to "green" the desert

- Rinse repeat.

The net effect is that you can potentially turn large swaths of desert into forests, with minimal external energy requirements (and potentially build an agricultural community around them, more or less self contained in terms of water/energy)
Not really. You wanted a more direct comparison with the GP and the GP wasn't wearing his T-Shirt in support of the Nazis. Which means either your counter-analogy is also flawed or the context should be that the wearer isn't doing so in support of the Nazis.
That's a very bad analogy because you use it opposite from how the situation is. A marriage exists within the context of state laws. The same state laws that say you can divorce also say you can't secede. So trying to secede is like trying to prohibit your partner from divorcing you. And yes, if you try to tie down your partner to stay with you it's exactly like trying to cut the ties that hold a state together.

Any criminal could just "vote" that what they did is legal. How would that work?

Meaning whenever the hell they feel like it. From the outside looking in, one problem seems to be a lack of a legitimate legal framework. Is there truly law in China?

Ethnic or other distinct groups within colonies did not have a right to separate themselves from the "people" of the territory as a whole.'

This is very worrysome: it this simply accelerates the already ongoing exodus of foreign owned businesses from China. Yes, human right activists, opposition members and such, will simply continue using obfuscation as they do now, they are out of the legal space anyway and change of laws don't change anything for them. But businesses need to stay compliant. So they will leaving and with their money, share of government ownership, and thus government control of things, in China will keep creeping up. They are basically returning to Communism.

Good thing about it is that we know how it ends, Communism is not viable. Bad thing is that it leaves little hope for the current generation of Chinese...

One of the differences is that the scottish vote was legal. In spain, the only legal vote would be of all spain at once; and either catalonia voting alone, or seceding after a country-level pro-independence vote, would entail rewriting the whole country structure set forth by the constitution, in order to become a confederation. Which, looking into the current political climate, would probably leave us in a deadlock much worse than brexit for years.

Regarding stonewalling, they already have a much bigger representation than what their relative headcount would guarantee. It’s just that the rest of Spain, and more than half of Catalonia, don’t want the second richest region to leave with all the wealth that we all together have concentrated there throughout the years.
