Hong Kong.........

[Secular Elf]

I do not want to hear jack shit from Republicans or Libertarians, if they are going to rightfully say they hate Communism, then run like cowards saying it is an "internal affair". The truth of our western billionaires, not all, but far too many, look at China's authoritarian capitalism, where their workers have no rights, and hyper nationalism and blind loyalty are expected from their Communist party.

Sorry it may bother any republican or libertarian poster here. BUT FUCK YOU, I am a liberal, not a Stalin Soviet Socialist, not a Hitler Fascist. I stand with Hong Kong's protesters. Morals extend beyond profits.

I'm happy to know where you stand on this issue.  I think the protestors are in the right regarding the extradition laws.  But they should understand - as I'm sure you do - that Hong Kong has been a part of China since 1997.  It is a semi-autonomous region, somewhat analogous to Puerto Rico's relationship with the US.  How do you imagine the US would react if protestors in PR were to shut down the Port of San Juan, or the airport?

That is a fair point. Saw on the news last night where Beijing has sent in a few caravans of The People's Army to the border of Hong Kong. I am with the people of Hong Kong, but I am afraid this will not end well for them, unless they take immediate steps to arm themselves. Remember Tianenmen Square back in 1989?

The following may be off topic, but I do not think it is unreasonable for the Left here in America to arm ourselves and organize a resistance army in case Cheeto-head, that sorry sack of filthy garbage occupying the White House, wins the 2020 Presidential Election. In that situation the first ones who should be held accountable must be the Electoral College. Then after that the Conservative Republican shits who lick Drumph's ass and suck his dick.

Just saying, if you really want to fight the bastards, joining hands and singing kum-ba-ya ain't gonna cut it.
