I think it is a perfect case study on how creating chaos (running into parliament building and vandalise), doxxing and threaten the family of police officers and supporting Donald trump (for whatever reason) is not helping.
I guess some protesters are peaceful, but some are not. Some police are calm but some are violent. Different countries apply different filters in order to get their expected views of Hong Kong.
To use outliers as a counterpoint is meaningless at best, subversive at worse. I constantly see people pointing to the ugly end of bell curves and throw their hands up and say, "both sides are the same" or "it's too complicated" or "it's impossible to know the true story." No, this kind of smug apathy is just a silent approval of the status quo, that it's better to just let things be than to push for messy-but-necessary changes.
You realize they just occupy an university, make molotov inside it and throw it at the garbage truck driver that just want to get home right? It's not "a few person" things.
My account age don't really have any relevance in the argument huh.
The notion that "violence is the way" is retard as fuck. Its not 1960, you don't throw molotov, threaten the Goverment and expect they will bow for you. The only thing you are doing is making the citizen's life miserable and force them to join your battle.
I know it's hard to believe but not everyone are so free care how can I insult the Goverment online everyday.
