What do the overseas Chinese think about Hong Kongers protesting against the China extradition act?

This is taken a couple hours ago.
It says “Communist Dog, you mother fker.”
The kid is about what 3? 5 years old? Let that sink in for a moment. Will you openly be hostile toward a different point of view? A nation? And you let your kids share that view as well at 5?
Pseudo-morality has completely taken over in HK, Civil debate isn’t possible now, if you hold a slightly different opinion you are risking losing loved ones, losing friendship, being cursed and sweared at, and yes you might even feel threatened. Hong Kong has one of the best education in the world, remember that next time you think Trump is speaking with redneck only. Education has no correlation with emotion manipulation.
You log on to Facebook all you see are HKers asking mainland Chinese to get out, eat shit, asking police’s badge number, police identities, gather their name, turn them into memes.
The cities is filled with HATE and FEAR. They all feel they are the victim.
The rise of populism is here.
The sign on the left is pretty creative, it’s a combination of the Chinese word “fk” and the CE’s name.
You will not replace us! We are defending our way of life! We won’t let you kill us!
The T-shirt reads “Freedom Cunt” sounds like Freedom Hi in English.
The HKers live their entire lives with the greatest freedom, a safe city, a wealthy city, it’s going to need someone to speak up and present a different point of view.
Based on my estimates, I think a 1/3 of the city was on the street, this doesn’t include the elderly staying home helping out with kids.
And I am afraid of speaking what I think is happening. Perhaps I will go Anonymous with VPN to share my point of view.
This is in no way diminishing the great city of Hong Kong, and this is not out of fear of being harmed by the mob. I love my friends there, that is why I have to go anon to answer this.
A political think tank researcher Francis Fukuyama - Wikipedia who worked for Dick Cheney during the Bush Administration; he used to support the Iraq war and later on he changed his mind on it and in the process he lost a LOT of friends. This is not about debating the Iraq War. But I do want to focus on how difficult it is to admit something is worth reconsidering and have enough courage to show up with a different opinion. So this is a global problem, not just one city.
There is a price to pay for anyone to have a different point of view, if that view doesn’t fit with the narrative, our personal life is at risk, and that is destructive. The closer we are to fact, the better it is to form policies that help the nation.
The closer we are to emotion and pseudo-moralistic values (so we can look good online and among peers), the more destructive it is for us as a whole.

It has been more than a month, as I am browsing and observing events unfold on my phone, it has become very clear that there are Cambridge Analytica type social engineering at play here.

Police vs. “reporter”
How is this freedom of speech looking.
Trump news = fake news.
Any news against China = journalisms. Award worthy.
Getty images worthy
