If Hexbear users had correct opinions on imperialism they wouldn't "um ackshually" when someone says "free Hong Kong"
It's weird to see people on this site hate Trump, then love a bunch of reactionaries in Hong Kong waving Trump 2020 banners.
Hong Kong is the freest it's ever been; China freed them from a government imposed by the British where they were ruled by a council appointed by the crown and major corporations.
People who are hostile to China bringing up Hong Konger's (or Uyghur)'s struggles have the same relevance as Zionists bringing up gay Palestinian's struggles; the purpose isn't to advance their cause, but to justify hostility against the whole group. This is especially obvious when you literally anything at all about the subject and realize their supposed defenders know literally fuckall about them beyond hostile data points.
There is a different conversation to had regarding specific policies, but anyone going "free hong kong" in response to protests against fixing the law that prevented a murderer from being extradited and tried lacks the background and desire for that.
