the idea that Hong Kongers, who want self-determination & fair political presentation, are brainwashed imperialists who have some kind of superiority complex(? from being colonised??) is, again, 1) a galaxy brain take and 2) exactly the CCP’s line on the issue https://t.co/0TW5g22bdZ

The sharp edge of repression in China is the People's Armed Police. Could they enter Hong Kong? https://t.co/BUeTBgYlTl

Just a few thoughts:

They will be painted, as is traditional in the culture, as "hooligans."

The massing on the border = "the people's" might makes right.

Tianamen Square screwed with this whole paradigm, that's why the government tries to make it a no-go topic.

Islam screws with it worse, them that have this disease got to be re-edjumacted.
