Hong Kong’s oldest and largest pro-democracy Capitalism political party is moving to disband
Sounds like a reason to celebrate.
I was wondering how long till a tankie wandered into the comment section to “well acktshually” us.
Waaahh waaah, everyone I disagree with is a tankie!
Yeah, the American media just telling it how it is. That’s what they do.
Of course! Dictatorship won’t through terror and torture, that always is a cause to celebrate because the group that lost might be your personal pet peeve.
You’re an idiot, tankie
Wait… what?
Because China and Hong Kong are so staunchly anti-capitalism? 😂
Super weird take.
The People’s Republic of China is a socialist country
Since when are socialists pro-capitalism?
“Pro-democracy” party which is actually just a cover for US imperialist propaganda. There’s no place for bourgeois ideas in an actual proletarian democracy that Hong Kong is becoming. This city is probably the only lib state that’s transitioning to socialism
I’ll take absolutely clueless for 300 Alex.
Democracy is dying everywhere right now. The uprising is going to be bloody and horrible when it eventually happens.
Maybe I’ll still be alive to see it. Or maybe aliens will blow us the hell up and solve all our problems.
I’m skeptical there is going to be any kind of uprising. The media algorithms are getting too good. The surveillance is getting too pervasive. The population is getting less educated.
10 years ahead of schedule.
You mean Chinese territory is being reintegrated after being used as a colonial drug port to drug the Chinese while stealing their wealth. Boo fucking hoo, the media is such a evil tool of propogabda making a big deal outta this and not their home grown government funded genocides and ethnic cleansing other than a “whooosie, Iraq had no wmds or that Gazan hospital indeed isn’t a hamas base”
??? Hes the mod lol
