it's odd to me that you're so mad about countries listening to china but don't seem very interested in systemic oppression from corporate interests thats been happening in your own country for decades

Oh I am interested, tell me any story of injustice and I'll side with the righteousness all the way.

But this is a topic about China/HK situation (and it's impact on the videogame industry, because you know 'staying on topic') and not about Kapernick's fight against systemic racism. So just because I'm not focusing on the billion other things wrong on this planet, doesn't mean it's any less diminished than the next issue besides the next one after. Worlds F'd, can only handle one issue at a time.

So where you think I can only be about one issue or the other and not both is quite a logical fallacy. Good try on the double-standard shot, but you missed.

I've already said, "Racial injustice and systematic oppression in the country is obviously wrong" so where is this hypocrisy you're so eager to point out?....but then there are obvious cultural differences between China & HK and the US, in how they handle their social problems.

To my interpretation of HK's events, billion of people are crammed into the street to fight on the simple basic notion of freedom. I mean, a poster on this thread linked a video of protester doing a flying kick on a policeman trying to snatch away other protester.

US deludes themselves on the imaginary power of social media, and demands policies of immediate self-entitlement to balance the issue; even at the expense of other people. Sometimes without a clear unifying message, which is why movements like Occupy Wall-Street is such a failure. No different that someone who can articulate themselves well to express their opinion like Kapernick, over someone like a random tweeter seeing racism in the clouds.....what's the message? Who's responsible for the systemic racism? Who's making these policies in 2019? Give me a name, and I'll happily say "F that guy".... but the problem is the majority of people who are concerned don't know how to unify and solidify their message unless there is something in it for them. "I see racism in the clouds, where's my reparation?".... that's not selling anything; showing me it's more about getting a free meal, and perhaps their cause could be more pronounced to the nation (even HK's issues). And until they start unifying and solidifying, the best shot they have is to keep the argument in a haze of generalization, using buzzwords like "systemic racism" in a fashion where no can know what exactly is the rule, the policy, or the law that's keeping non-white people from advancing in this society.....not unlike HK, where the message is pretty clear cut and focused.

So again, it's kind of weak for you to plop down the Kapernick topic where really his story has very little to do with videogames at all. So he's never going to be on the cover of the next Madden game because he bit the hand that fed to preserve his beliefs, a shame, but again I don't follow football..... but MY topic is about the videogame industry directly, here on gFAQs. With a game I do follow, and a real world event that could impact it. ....so why get bent over something that isn't being said?

How dare you not mentioning European Sex Traffickers in all this....or the return of the Black Plague in Seattle, or why Cacciato's self-stimulation?....
