As someone whose parents were protestors in Tiananmen June 4, listen to me when I say that the Western valorization of the Tiananmen & HK protests are nothing but an imperialist sham to topple China.
There is nothing "decolonial" or "pro-democracy" about these bourgeois protests
There is nothing "decolonial" or "pro-democracy" about these bourgeois protests
The Hong Kong protests are entirely driven by Hong Kongers chauvinistic, racist superiority complex over mainland Chinese that they got from being the West& #39;s chosen pets. Those who rebrand these protests as "pro-democracy" or "decolonial" are not only liars they are imperialists.
As someone whose seen how viciously racist Hong Kongers are to mainlanders, there is nothing "pro-democracy" about the protest. They are based entirely off of their obscene superiority complex & desire to maintain HK as free trade, neoliberal capitalist paradise for Westerners.
Me & many of my Chinese American friends have parents who protested in Tiananmen and listen when I say that literally everything the West says about it how the Tiananmen & Hong Kong protests are "freedom & pro-democracy" protests is utter bullshit & propaganda to balkanize China.
