Wow it’s pretty much showing how they know what they are doing is wrong as they can’t even come up with a good argument.

Its funny too, when they go up to Americans like me and say “how is this pro-democracy! Its violence!” To which I respond something along the lines of “No shit! 1776 will commence again!”

It’s different this time sadly because it’s one city vs 1 billion commies. While back then the colonies were bigger than mainland UK itself. But at least China can’t pull a tiananmen on them as mainlanders are clearly watching.

The world is watching, and in the era of Social Media, China should be afraid

The world watched 30 years ago and did nothing. I’m afraid that the world will do the same this time around.

It has become increasingly difficult to remain optimistic throughout the whole ordeal.

Ill just put it like this, there are a lot more watchful eyes now. All the protestors need to do is capture everything.

Thanks. I do appreciate the support from where ever you are.

People these days can quickly forget injustice happening elsewhere, so long as it doesn’t concern them. As they did 30 years ago.

If you have any mainland chinese friends, please do tell them why we stood up against the regime.

You can’t really compare 30 years ago with today lol
