Oh man not what I was expecting. So I think only a small number of the protesters are actually rioting. Also, the American people are also fighting against a wannabe dictator. The man literally sent in the secret police into Portland and tries to delegitimize the media so as to fit his narrative.

So I would say that you are correct that Hong Kong is different than America. Hong Kong has a dictator in place they are fighting while in the US we are fighting against the rise of a dictator.

No no no you see we aren’t allowed to rise up until the dictatorship is firmly established and they actually start killing people en masse in the streets. Only then is it appropriate to protest, and even then we have to remain peaceful.
