    No you don’t. Hong Kong was occupied by the British, brutally. You were never occupied, you are the occupier living in an anglo state based on British common law. No one ever force-fed your school children propaganda glorifying your occupier and villifying your fellow countrymen. None of your countrymen ever worked tireless for half a century to ensure the occupier would leave and then worked diligently to give your fellow tortured and estranged brethren a path that allowed you to maintain self-governance even with elements of the occupier’s culture just to ensure you felt safe and respected in one country with two systems.

    You know nothing about what the Hong Kongers felt, throwing Molotov removedtails and police forces that spent weeks defusing the situation with as little violence as they could manage. You live in an occupier culture where your police literally itch for the opportunity to crack the skulls of hippies, liberals, blacks, Muslims, and anyone else they think is beneath them

    You have no idea what you’re talking about and even less of an idea of what the Hong Kongers are talking about. If you really cared about them, you would research their history and understand what they’ve been through. Instead, you just read your domestic propaganda that villifies one group and glorifies another group of the same peoples continuing the terrible legacy of the British occupation, but you don’t care about that.
