At their core, the protests were about a sense of localist superiority. I'd say "ethno nationalism" but Hong Konger isn't really an ethnicity separate from Guangdong people. The rioters thought that they were superior, "more civilized" because of exposure to British rule. Hence shit like calling other Chinese people "locusts" and flying the HK flag.
It's one of the reasons the protesters' cause flopped categorically with anyone old enough to remember British rule.
That's such a weak branch to base a movement on, I guess that's the power of cia money to mobilize even slightly disaffected people.
Also can you imagine the US government response to the kind of actions the protesters took for what was essentiallya secessionistmovement? They would have run out of body bags.
True, but this kind of incoherent bullshit is how capitalism sustains itself.
The US government killed more protestors in a single day against justified protests surrounding the murder of George Floyd than the CPC did over 5 months of secessionists in Hong Kong.
Even Natopedia admits there were only 2 deaths from the """protests"""
