      @someone I'm digest your perspective. What I'm saying is the narrative and coded language that is being used on a global scale is very manipulating and is deliberate. Obviously, if "we the people " aren't prepared with mind , body, soul accompanied by resources, military forces etc violent protest may be futile however on the other hand it's a very normal response and it's human. We are always being told to be peaceful yet it's to keep us tamed. Peace isn't the answer

      Also RUclips has blocked at least 210 accounts this week trying to influence Hong Kong's political situation. Google, owner of the video service, announced on Thursday evening that channels have been found that "coordinated" video uploads against Hong Kong protests.
      According to Google, the people behind these accounts used different methods to remain anonymous. "Other activities that are often associated with coordinated influencing campaigns" were also discovered. Who is behind the accounts and what was shown on the videos was not disclosed.
      Twitter and Facebook
      According to Google, the videos were related to what was seen on Twitter and Facebook. Earlier this week, these social media accounts were also being used to attempt to spread disagreement over the protests. Twitter blocked more than nine hundred accounts that "undermine the legitimacy and political position of the protest movement." According to the social medium, the action was supported by Beijing.
      nformation was distributed on Twitter in which Hong Kong demonstrators were portrayed as criminals and the image was drawn that the demonstrators were not representative of the population. Facebook, after being tipped by Twitter, deleted five accounts, seven pages and three Facebook groups. NRC

This allows China who don't have a proper judicial system pick and choose offenders from HK and "trial" them for charges they might not have committed. On the other hand, this new security bill makes it illegal for HK citizens to do anything that "might hurt the feelings of the Chinese people" so basically censorship, no protest, no making fun of gov, etc.

      Taxation is theft and in a society of multiple self-interested groups that vote for group gains at the loss of others, it is nothing but an endless war for resources to take and conquer.
      People are only ever able to know and care for 150 at maximum and beyond that humans are simply a statistic, a nebulous concept.
      Balkanisation addresses this by breaking up these weakly held bounds and frees the populace of any responsibility of having to provide for those they are not directly related to them, be it a family member, neighbour or friend.
      And these small tight-knit communities are far more efficient, safe and kind. Their own individual cultures may flourish wherein a grey soulless city of millions it'd be strangled and drowned out.

      @@forrest16 why do you think they love the USA? Because they give them the freedom to actually govern themselves. Now compare that to China, who made Korea give them annual tributes in exchange for independence. Meanwhile, all the USA does is have 15 military bases. 28,000 soldiers. That is almost nothing; you think that’s bootlicking? The USA let Britain nuke US territory, is that bootlicking too? Is every bit of cooperation against tyranny “bootlicking” to you?

    There is a thing that is missing from the video: Taiwan had offered the Hong Kong government a one-time extradition to extradite Chan Tong Kai, the murderer, to Taiwan before the bill was proposed. However, the Hong Kong government TURNED DOWN the one-time extradition. After the bill was proposed, the president of Taiwan has announced that they would not accept this proposed extradition bill. Therefore, even the bill is passed, the murderer would not be extradite to Taiwan, hence the main aim of the bill is contradicted.

      Democracy is fool's errand. Look at the middle east and other third world countries. When you have so many people to control you need iron fist, law and order. Democracy brings only chaos.
