Hong Kong has entered a state of mass civil disobedience

[joeychizzle]

Yeah, that's wild. Can't say I feel much for hostage takers but there is a certain disregard for the individual in China and several other countries that really blows my mind.

Are you concerned that China may try to use it's military to end the protests as they have in mainland China in the past?


We're things "bad" under British administration for the average HK?

Did many people in HK emigrate in the face of what happened prior to and after the lease expired?

How was the issue of citizenship decided for people of HK?

With over 1.3 billion people, there's bound to be violations
we can't all be bleeding heart liberals who fight for every righteous cause, right? some people will live within their bubble and that is all they will see.

I am definitely concerned. Tanks have rolled down our streets in the past, shyt would hit the fan if they did again.

When the British were here, we were suppressed. Treated like second class citizens, in our own home. Like South Africans. Treated like slaves unless we adopted their ways and hated our own. (it wasn't all like that obviously, the British did help develop the place.)
There was most definitely positives and negatives, but the fact that white people ruled was obviously wrong. The Opium wars were bad enough, but they had to come through and occupy us for decades. Many white british descendants still remain, and some of them literally live their entire lives without learning our language or interacting with us, living within their own sphere.

Many went home to their ancestral homelands, but most stayed, for lack of funds and refusal to leave, ir was seen as cowardly. After the lease though, many came back, and those who had stayed, stayed.

After the lease expired, 10,000 families were granted British citizenship, very handy for travelling purposes. My family happened to be one of those.

The rest receive Hong Kong citizenship, with a ID card that allows unrestricted access to China. It's called the 'returning to homeland card' (literal translation)

[Yung Yogurt]

As long ad they keep making orange chicken and jordans over there im good

 

[newarkhiphop]

protesters don't seem to be settling down, not looking good for Beijing

 

[Serious]

Mainland Chinese police give zero fukks. I saw this video of a hostage situation where a dude had a chick sitting in front of her in a bus. He had a knife to her throat, police were called, negotiators, all that shyt. Then one undercover cop waits til the hostage taker turns around and blows his fukking head clean off with a revolver. .38 special IIRC



in an unrelated story here is a policewoman who shot the fukk outta a hostage taker in a similar situation. DAYUM she looked

at that police woman

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

the US need to put boots on the ground.

 

[OsO]

props to them for their civic engagement

 

[Kritic]

anyway this fake ass civil disobedience could've been cia initiated like the arab spring


i'm trying to look at the big picture.. as a distraction with what's going on in the middle east..

 

[joeychizzle]

I'm wondering how they're gonna escalate it, if they do.

at that police woman

There's a reason nobody protesting about this shyt in the mainland

the US need to put boots on the ground.

and give us 'liberty'? we don't have many natural resources to plunder. got the best chinese food and wifeys for hundreds of miles though

anyway this fake ass civil disobedience could've been cia initiated like the arab spring

you know.. once upon a time i would've been like at that comment
this civil disobedience is not fake by any means. This issue has been stewing for years, and now the lid has blown off. besides, we hong kongers love a protest about every month against the government, this is nothing new.

a truly learned individual would not allow another world event to distract from the gravity of another. just as my heart goes out to my brothers and sisters here in hong kong, it also goes out to all the innocent muslims suppressed by radicals, scared of leaving their houses, unable to walk the streets without menacing faceless ak wielding militias scrutinizing you, women being unable to attend schools and universities, etc.
My heart also goes out to every single African and African American that has gone through suffering and prejudice. My best friends from the UK are mostly black (I know that's the default defense for racist white people to claim they're not racist, but I'm not being racist at all. I just miss my brehs), and I've come to learn and love black culture, whether it's American, British or African. I'm not trying to shyt on white people but they've done you so goddamn wrong (I know this is nothing new but injustice is injustice no matter what)


edit: DAMN a car just sped through the crowd without stopping, nobody got run over though. fukking retard, he's lucky he kept driving because if he stopped ninja wolves would've got his ass

of course if you look at it on the surface it is real and ppl will die just like any staged event.

shyt is always going on worldwide but they're given that "extra" "invisible" cia push and publicity to make them bigger.
i've read books on how the cia overthrows govts.

the cia was behind all this mess in ukraine that's been going on for years and they spent over 5 billion on it. i wouldn't be surprised if they're doing the same shyt next to china.

to me all these events are connected.


israel used the world cup distraction to go in on gaza.

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

and give us 'liberty'? we don't have many natural resources to plunder.

why do you hate my freedom?
just imagine 200,000 troops and 100,000 contractors running around Hong Kong leaving nice little depleted uranium ammo all over the place for your great grand kids to find.

No theory is inadmissible.. now you've got me thinking. But they'll cover their tracks well, and what can I, a mere citizen, do about it? I'll have to just sit back and see what happens.

The Chinese government will not allow Western troops to EVER set foot in our city again.
