to the china-fetishizing western leftists anxiously thinking of new ways to smear hong kongers fighting state violence: relax. tomorrow many of us will no longer be able to voice our dissent against the party without risking incarceration. your beloved regime is doing just fine

as long as i live i& #39;ll never forget how millions of hong kongers, colonized folks struggling for a say in our future, were suppressed by state violence in plain view and so many western leftists, so-called abolitionists, asian diasporic & #39;radicals& #39; watched blankly or sneered.

we begged you to see us and to hear us. but it& #39;s okay. soon you may not have to ever again.
