There’s no good guy here. My focus on Hong Kong as bad in response to take of pretty much everyone else on this board. This is from the Atlantic

As the struggle to resist China’s tightening grip on the semiautonomous region has intensified, protesters have appealed to the United States in larger numbers and with greater urgency. Last weekend, tens of thousands of protesters marched near the U.S. consulate in the territory, singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and carrying signs that urged President Donald Trump to “liberate Hong Kong.” Perhaps more realistically, they also issued a practical plea: for Congress to pass the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which would grant the United States further means to defend the territory’s freedoms and autonomy.

If that doesn’t repulse you, and this is to everyone, not frown in particular, if this doesn’t repulse you you’re in complete denial about what a horrible negative force America is in the world. And on top of that, **** these protestors for trying to draw America into more direct conflict with another major nuclear power. And this myth that America is a beacon of hope is one of the most harmful misconceptions on the globe. The sympathy posters here have to the idea that America compares favorably to China demonstrates how deep the brainwashing runs. America should be seen for what it really is: an oppressive force of globalized evil.

The protesters are more concerned with their own fate than with whether America or China are a greater global evil.

They know that they have more rights than people in mainland China and they are watching that steadily erode. They are literally opposing a measure that would allow China to extradite Hong Kong citizens to the mainland. This will naturally extend to people being extradited and charged, put into slave labor camps and possibly executed for simple thought crimes. Being the wrong religion. Having the wrong political beliefs. Simply being viewed as subversive to the Chinese regime in any way.

If you are going to condemn them for appealing to a super power like the US to help then you quite simply have no soul and are more concerned with ideology than with actual human suffering.

He's like a reverse nationalist tbh. It's not "America is the greatest and my connection to it makes me important," it's "America is the worst and my connection to it makes me important." Different beliefs, same narcissism.

That’s perceptive and clever but my hatred is justified
