        Foreign imperialists consisting of residents that want their freedom who already were independent from their prior occupiers?

        This is one way to say you don’t support freedom in a very literal anti democracy sense.

          Hong Kong belongs to China. Not western imperialists. Their “freedom” can suck my nuts from the back.

            You are quite literally ignoring the will of the people who lived there, who lived there before the prior take over too, being ruled by some third party they don’t want to be ruled by.

            How can you justify that?

                it was the workers who were protesting for an independent city state. you are letting one imperial power convince you it’s not an imperial power simply based on aesthetic. the idea that hong kong protestors on the ground were capital class is absurd. the people’s republic of china is communist/socialist in name and aesthetic only. it is functionally a state with a select few who control the means of production and uses that power to maintain control. being a capitalist-imperial power in apparent opposition to another does not justify being a capitalist-imperial power. the people of the world will not be made free by the CCP’s controlling power expanding their power. the people of the world will be made free by true solidarity amongst the workers in opposition to the three imperial powers of america, russia, and china
