Hows the hong kong protests going?
In all honesty, I have no idea. It seems like we’re running in circles. It’s a terrible cycle of “protest against police brutality, police brutality happens during the protest, protest police brutality, police brutality happens during the protest, etc.”
This is the longest season of protest Hong Kong (at least to my knowledge) has ever seen. The last time this happened (in 2014), many people began to lose aim and wanted to do loads of things, which confused the majority and caused us to wander. Many worry about the same things happening now.
I think we are doing much better than before. We’ve got America on board with the whole thing, and you know how it is: if America knows about it, the world knows about it. We created beef within the NBA and South Park is throwing some sick lines. PewDiePie got banned in China and Blizzard had to take down Mei from their store because we embraced her as a mascot.
It’s all very good things. I want us to keep doing that. I want us to fight against the idiocy of kneeling down in front of China just so they can make some RMB.
Our fight isn’t over yet. Even if we lose, at least we tried.
And if we win… Well, only time will tell.
