Yeah I don’t think they have any idea that it began because they couldn’t extradite an admitted murderer back to Taiwan and were changing the books to make that possible. Incredible movement.
What’s so interesting is that I was a huge lib during those protests and was cheering on their fight against the cops
It wasn’t until they started calling for the UK to re-colonize them while calling China colonizers that I realized I was cheering on fucking idiots and pawns, and my newly found liberalism almost immediately crumbled, and COVID was the second plane that hit the remaining tower of liberalism shortly after and completely destroyed it
If Russia invaded Ukraine back in 2019-2020, it would’ve had the same effect on me because the western media was telling me the country was full of nazis and corruption only to be democratic all of a sudden
For me it was the Trump flags and people defending them by saying “they don’t know what those flags mean.” I’d never really thought about the liberal condescension and infantilisation of others before that, but it was so obvious during those protests (and barely a step above 19th century talk about “savages” as well)
i cannot name any notable misstep china made, foreign policy wise, besides like my personal opinion that they should be more of an asshole to the west
I’m gonna guess they’re talking about the protests in Hong Kong
Lmao.
Oh yeah those protests that were very organic and that we still talk about all the time…
You’re probably right though. It’s just hilarious they think anyone remembers that except politics freaks cough and… that’s about it
