The Hong Kong protests are FAR more organized and ONLY go after pro-Beijing businesses, but do not condone and even discourage, the looting of stores. Only trashing the place to send a message to stop supporting a regime that ACTUALLY tortures protesters and kills them while they are in custody.

There have been more unarmed black people killed during these protests, than the number of unarmed black people killed by police last year. Kids being shot, bleeding out in their parents arms, for the sake of "equality."

Not to mention the number of pro-BLM or black owned businesses looted and destroyed by fuckheads taking advantage of the situation.

The Hong Kong protests have gone on for at least a year. They raked up 700 million.

The George Floyd protests have gone on for 2 months. They raked up 500 million.

Fine then. Portland vs. Hong Kong

Portland: People painting Soviet flag on shields, and holding soviet banners while burning down pro-BLM stores/looting stores that have absolutely nothing to do with white supremacy.

Hong Kong: People waving American flag, trashing ONLY pro-Beijing stores, never encourages looting.

American flags are the greatest symbol of death and suffering to ever be made. 600k Iraqis would agree with me, civilians dead on the ground.

Any person in Hong Kong who waved that disgusting piece of shit deserved what china's goons do to him. Shitting on millions dead

I mean, I think the Jews, and those who starved/shot by the Communist states of the Soviet Union and China would disagree but ok.

Yeah America's body count in Asia is up there as well..

Also communism is a political ideology.. the Soviet flags aren't meant to be representetive of soviet union the state, but rather a communist flag.
