But on topic the protest has gotten to the point where it is sort of ironic that while we shout about China's authoritarianism in censorship but people online has gone to the point where they say that if you are not 100% with the protesters then you are against it in its entirety. And I mean 100% that they are doing nothing wrong whatsoever kind of mentality whereas both the police are wrong and also the real protesters not the CCP hired ones have done some really bad shit over the months.

HBOSS 10/15/19 12:26:56 PM #31:	usually the worst things happen under the best intention. thats why all eyes and social media are there. something is going to happen. it aint gonna be resolved anytime soon. as long as somebody is making noise about hong kong, people will watch what happens next. amazingly this principle vs profit stuff has taken a movement of its own. companies are the gate keepers of their communities in sports and video gaming it seems. i wonder how this will turn out. i hope its not swept under the rug like it usually does. --- You don't stop playing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop playing <cite>HBOSS posted [p:928796859] in Second tim...
