The same crowd that cynically mocks people for writing "thoughts and prayers" after every school shooting is bravely saying "Fuck China" in the comments of every Hong Kong related news article

Actually topic title should have just been

The difference is that saying Fuck China is about all you can do as someone who doesn't live in China. People mock "thoughts and prayers" because people in positions of power that could actually do something about gun violence never bother to do anything about it.

"Thoughts and prayers" = people in power who could be making a difference passing the buck.
"F*** China" = people not in power who can't do much of anything anyway showing support for a cause.

These are true, but Reddit is still obnoxious.

The thing with the China vs. Hong Kong deal, is that a lot of people don't really know who to root for.

Chinese politics don't follow the usual left vs right diatribe. Most people don't have a fucking clue who they want to offend with their views/opinions.

Kinda amazing and funny to watch :D

I mean, we should probably side with the side that isn't a totalitarian police state killing people.

Also, all the online pushback against China is actually helpful because its keeping it in the spotlight when it's not on the news anymore.

I'd rather they'd say "Fuck the Chinese government" since I'm sure not everyone in China agrees with how China handles the Hong Kong controversy.

I am annoyed with how the internet is in general about this.

While I am well aware of what the police have done and have condemned them myself people have been under the assumption that everyone over there is 100% with the protesters and even tried to justify or sweep what they have done under the rug.


I don't know many people from Hong Kong, but one family I do know are very much against the protests and have now boycotted American products because they dislike how America is getting involved. Their general attitude is "we don't like mainland china, but these protests got way out of hand around 4 months ago".

Not like that's necessarily a reflection on the general HK attitude or anything and I don't agree with them, but I think it shows at least that attitudes are not as cut and dry as people in the west think.

As someone living in the mainland, the sentiment here is almost exclusively anti-protestors.

Granted most of them only get information that is specifically fed to them by the government which of course will make the protestors look bad.

Some people enjoy having the Police stomp all over them. Police are making protestors disappear and using live rounds. There's no justification.
