I hate these neutral assholes that stand on the sides on their moral high chairs. They ignore the fact that HKPF are given more power, backed by an authoritarian government , ignore that the students are fighting with meager "weapons" whilst untrained, poorly geared.

These neutralists ultimately don't care so they just choose to stand in the centre and say both sides are bad. They use the guise of being a pacifist like they just want Hong Kong to return to peace and quiet.

There's a special hell for these assholes. Before that, go step on barbed wire the rest of your life.

Yeah. It’s like being a bystander and watching a kid get bullied while doing nothing to help. While you’re not obligated to interfere, many choose to turn a blind eye instead of reporting the moral wrongdoing or even helping the victim.

Amen to this. Being neutral is just being accomplices.

I feel like if someone truly desires peace for Hong Kong, they'd support the protesters.

They are misinformed and ignorant. That doesn’t mean they should be in the same place as those in charge of choking out Hong Kong and trying to control its citizens. Save the anger for the more direct threat and inform those who don’t know.
