Did you know that companies vote directly for 30 out of 70 Legislative Council seats in Hong Kong? Why was it not part of the protestors demands to change this?
That the Hong Kong protestors are revisionist, they are literally asking for more capitalism and imperialism. Its not about right or wrong, its about the class character of the protest.

You’re right, I guess I forgot the rule that protesters’ demands can only be valid if they address every single possible issue.
I’m amazed how well you are able to ignore every single point I make, and argue against strawmen instead.
What am I ignoring? I think it’s strange for leftists in the West to tell the people of Hong Kong they’re protesting wrong.

That doesn’t seem to be reflected in their demands:
full withdrawal of the extradition bill
an independent inquiry into the protests
fully democratic elections
dropping of the term “riot” in describing protests
general amnesty for everyone arrested so far
What do imperialism and capitalism have to do with any of that?
That is hard to say when each demand is described in less than 10 words. Is there a longer version anywhere?
There’s more detail on the Wikipedia page for the protests. Seems to be the same fundamental basis though.
