Hong Kong Protesters Are a Western Media Smokescreen

It is getting absolutely sickening to see a HUGE media blackout with Bolivia, Haiti, Chile, Iraq, and many many others get less or no media coverage, but some Hong Kong protesters, who killed an innocent 70-year-old janitor, get tens of thousands of upvotes and coverage for occupying a university. They are literally using bows and arrows, and users all over Reddit are salivating for Police to use live ammo against these protesters, so they can justify some sort of intervention and their false hope of “free Hong Kong.”The only death that has occurred in the Hong Kong protests was this 70-year-old man, who was killed by the protesters themselves.Meanwhile, “More than 260 Iraqis have been killed in demonstrations since the start of October.And where do you think Reddit’s attention is at? Not at the brown countries. They are getting their white-knight complexes stroked like no other with Hong Kong. I WISH Reddit can get as excited to hear that the infantry is joining Bolivian indigenous communities rather than yearning for deaths over a university occupation. And, in usual anti-climactic fashion, the police come in, make arrests, and… that’s it. It’s foolishness that they want the PLA or whoever to come in and start shooting.Can you imagine if the current HK Chief Executive Carrie Lam gave impunity to police officers so they cannot get persecuted if they kill protesters like they did in Bolivia? Can you imagine if police acted like Iraqi security forces against the protesters?Before anyone gets into whether this is “police apologia” I want to quickly dismiss that by saying fuck your phony distraction in protecting Western media BS. I am not one to protect or support police. They are doing their jobs, and this is part of it, fine. But as a god damn minority in the United States, I am waiving my fucking hands here saying, if you don’t like what HK is doing WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU WITH BLM? Where were you for Mike Brown and Ferguson? Why aren't you outraged with these more violent representations than HK? It’s obvious why.And if one of you were saying “I was there” where you also there for Evo Morales, or were you neutral and neither for the coup or Morales??The hypocrisy is stunning with the liberal mainstream. If you think HK protesters are worth defending, or put the HK protesters at par with Bolivia/Chile/Iraq/Haiti/etc. (but still fucking ignore the lack of attention that is being put on these countries) YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. via /r/communism https://ift.tt/2qZZPvO
