You're free to talk about color revolutions and be disingenuous about discussion here if you like. I'll give you bonus points in that you're the first drive-through liberal that actually took the time to stop and order.

What would you like to talk about on the menu? Hong Kong? What was originally a Chinese territory heavily exploited for over a century by British capitalists and forced to be GIVEN to the British under contract of duress? It's funny you bring up this train of thought, because I'm curious on what the justification is.

Is it that they deserve autonomy? Well, why doesn't the eastern regions in Ukraine deserve autonomy? Because they're sponsored by Russia? Is Hong Kong not sponsored by the West? Do you not see this double-think? There is nuance here; more than just "taking sides" and a hell of lot more completely obscured by propaganda that has been spinning since the Cold War.

Or is it because of geopolitical legalese and global law dominated by a Western hegemony? What are your thoughts?

https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1153 Some great things here; complete with resources talking about Hong Kong and other well-woven mythos about the super duper evil China that you've been led to believe.
