It’s 2024 and no one in America even questions the existence of an actual colonial outpost. The UK and Portugal suck but at least they gave back Hong Kong / Macau.
during the hong kong protests i never once saw a pro-protest lib ever once mention the simple fact that HK was a British Colonial outpost with literal British judges still ruling over it
The HK protests were half about people wanting British rule back. They legit didn't see colonialism as a bad thing which pissed of the mainlanders. Also it was probably the thing that radicalised me.
The UK and Portugal gave them back because China would've invaded them to take it back and they wanted to avoid international humiliation. X
