I see your point, and I feel like there is some genuine anti-authoritarian sentiment for some members of the movement, but overall it's not something I'd endorse as a leftist. I have plenty of issues with China, sure, but asking Marco Rubio to rain hell on them to protect your League of Legends clan isn't the way to deal with it.
Yeah, definitely. The disturbing part to me is how these protests are being co-opted as "China bad" when it's all about problems that existed before the China handover in late 90's.
A good way to illustrate how the HK government works is pretend the CEO of Exxonmobil, Disney, or Amazon were your representative in government. Most people assume that it's a liberal democracy, but it's not - and it's very out in the open, lol.
And I'm not sure 👏 more 👏 Chinese 👏 CEOs is the correct Socialist position. Critical support and all, but eh... all around crappy situation.
