Fuck me, the genocide denial blog Grayzone is continually surprised at the fact that white Hongkongers exist, because clearly that offends their pure vision of a homogenous ethno-state. https://twitter.com/TheGrayzoneNews/status/1292210053920022532
This "hard hitting investigation" makes @KongTsungGan sound way more badass than he actually is.

And why do activists work under pen names? You tell me, dude supporting an authoritarian state doxxing a dude hoping that he will be punished under vague and draconian laws.
Also tries to have a pop at @tomgrundy who didn't fall for articles written by literally non-existent people.

"Oh, but what about THIS guy who doesn't exist?" says Max "lol dead Syrian children" Blumenthal, while literally posting a photo of them talking to each other.
Imagine complaining about an immigrant, in a city literally made up of immigrants. Someone go tell Max that we even have black people here too, it'll blow his mind.

My personal faves are the people replying to GZ's tweet going "this guy?" and posting random other white journos.
Everybody here knows who he is, because we're all Hongkongers, and we come from many places, but we are united by a sense of community and we support each other. I once gave his kid a cold drink on a hot day at a protest years before you knew we even had protests here.
"He turns up to protests... he livetweets them... he, HE CONFRONTS COPS who have been beating children, he chronicles everything that happens"

Hell yeah he does, and that's why I list him in my pinned tweet as one of the essential Hong Kong voices, because he fucking shows up.
"He's a go-to native source for western media".

Ok, dude whose go-to source for comments on Hong Kong are a sexpat in Bali and a Canadian barmaid. Our guy has hundreds of hours of personal first-hand witness accounts to share, but "go off" as the kids say.
"BUT HE WASN'T BORN IN HONG KONG"

Neither were half the police commanders who beat the shit out of our kids, because once again this is an immigrant city and we're all here from somewhere else.

I really fucking can't with these people...
Yes mate, going unmasked to protests in a loud shirt and then literally posting photos of myself there is "concealing my identity".

Grayzone: 👏🏻no white 👏🏻people 👏🏻 in my 👏🏻 ethno👏🏻state 👏🏻 👏🏻 https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1292299081419816961?s=21 https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1292299081419816961
"Immigration cannot exist and migrants are forever to be excluded from society" is a hot tankie take. https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1292301195680403459?s=21 https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1292301195680403459
I mean, I'm just a nobody who talks about stuff I see in my own (adopted) home, and I've had blue ribbons literally turn up at my work trying to get me fired, and have been physically attacked by them at 3 separate protests since 2015. https://twitter.com/mizakalili/status/1292309503304638471?s=21 https://twitter.com/mizakalili/status/1292309503304638471
I personally DGAF, they want to take a swing at me on the streets then feel free. I don't have kids or a family to protect, I just try and be a bit discreet because I am, as I've always said, a literal nobody and I shouldn't be the focus when talking about the movement here.
But considering the cops have never found any wrongdoing in my actions (8 ID checks and several full searches last year), and THEY know who I am (same goes for @KongTsungGan) you have to wonder why others are so invested trying to create a narrative we're shady foreign agents.
lololololol Max "I'm a real journalist" Blumenthal's hard hitting research said this Tiananman victim is an "unknown Asian man".

Why are Grayzone such fucking clowns? https://twitter.com/caitschult2/status/1292312765575569408?s=21 https://twitter.com/caitschult2/status/1292312765575569408
Anyway, Grayzone managed to endorse ethnostates, sneer at immigration, dox an activist, smear a Nobel peace prize winner, fail to recognise a Tiananman victim, slander Amnesty international, and show AGAIN they know nothing about HK. All in one article. Nazi levels of efficiency.
Holy shit! Turns out the war crimes appreciation blog Grayzone is the place that actually published articles from a fake person who doesn't exist.

"Accuse the otherside of that which you are guilty" is Max channelling his inner Goebbels. Again. https://www.thedailybeast.com/in-nicaragua-torture-is-used-to-feed-fake-news
It’s not even “original” reporting. He was doxxed by Nury Vittachi in the Standard months ago, and by TKP. He’s even in that wickedly fallacious book City in Tears which claims he is “burly” and teaches advanced protest techniques like “sending petitions”. https://twitter.com/hongkonghermit/status/1259158952056516608?s=21 https://twitter.com/hongkonghermit/status/1259158952056516608
“burly”

Everyone of us who knows him will be currently pissing themselves at this. Not to height shame the more petite gentlemen who follow me, but he’s tiny. One time I saw him with his daughter on his shoulders, and she could have carried him.
Us white boys will be ok, but the tankies will never be allies in helping the 300k Migrant Domestic Workers, all young women from Philippines and Indonesia, to become HK residents. Something they are currently denied no matter how many years here. Because “muh ethnostate”.
Don’t even get me started on how HK currently treats refugees, which pro-Beijing parties such as the DAB smear as “fake refugees”. I guess we should be glad the worst we have to deal with is hit pieces by white bloggers angry we exist. HK’s systemic racism hurts others way more.
lol at Dan Cohen trying to smear me by showing me:

* dunking on a prominent Fash
* showing solidarity with Portland
* warning fellow antifa neo-nazis were in town
* and showing I tweet from HK streets rather than blog from Washington

You “got” me, bruh. https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1292299081419816961?s=21 https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1292299081419816961
Proud of all those things. Throw in a cat GIF and that’s My Content in a nutshell.

But in conclusion, hoes mad.
It’s all fun and games until you have people tweeting incitement to murder on Twitter thanks to @TheGrayzoneNews doxxing a local activist.

Dan Cohen trying to spin how when he went to Palestine he refused to integrate and desperately held onto his identity as an American. Typical expat. Also seems confused at the difference between moving to a place permanently (me) and being a tourist (him). https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1292337236227260416?s=21 https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1292337236227260416
Dan “my head is made entirely of mechanically reclaimed meat” Cohen is trying to “well actually...” my profile pic, claiming for like the dozenteenth time that I’m trying to conceal my identity.

Ya braw, that’s me hiding my face below. Totally. https://twitter.com/hongkonghermit/status/1178309568184504322?s=21 https://twitter.com/HongKongHermit/status/1178309568184504322
Wow, for someone who claims to be a leftist, with 21,000 tweets to search from, I’m seeing zero support or discussion for actual leftist causes like gay rights. What’s up with that @dancohen3000? Literally only two (2) mentions of LGBT ever?
Dan Cohen has only ever tweeted about gay people 8 times, and not to show support, all 8 tweets were about Israel. Because gay people only exist to be weaponised for a pet cause it seems.
Dan Cohen has literally never tweeted support for feminism, and has only made 5 tweets mentioning feminists and yes, before you ask, those are also tweets about Israel.
Meanwhile, despite not tweeting anything about these fundamental civil rights movements, Dan Cohen somehow tweeted about Jimmy Lai 12 times.

Buddy, I'm a local account, and even I've only tweeted about him 8 times.

Your priorities are fucked up. You ain't no leftist, bruv.
Civil rights advocate Dan Cohen has tweeted #BlackLivesMatter only 10 times. Yes, that *is* less than he has tweeted about Jimmy Lai.

2 of those BLM tweets are defending China, 5 mention Israel/Palestine. Incredible support for the cause, Dan. Epic shit.
Fuckin' told you. https://twitter.com/hongkonghermit/status/1287301230767661057?s=21 https://twitter.com/HongKongHermit/status/1287301230767661057
To conclude this saga, Kong Tsung-Gan explains why he adopted a nom de plume. I know him. I'm proud to know him. He's never written a word of a lie, ever. He just had to delay the attempt to silence him that all activists face at some point. https://twitter.com/hongkongfp/status/1292689900991590401?s=21 https://twitter.com/hongkongfp/status/1292689900991590401
To anyone with the luxury of not having your kids be targeted because you dared to stand up for civil rights: I envy you, I am happy for you, but I will also not be listening to you at this time.
Here's Dan "wow, violence in HK is bad" Cohen accidentallty siding with a group of Hong Kong's most notorious street thugs. Two of whom got arrested that night for attacking another Hongkonger moments after the end of this video. Absolute scenes. https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1293199748002975746?s=21 https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1293199748002975746
Dan "immigrants out" Cohen really going for it, siding with a group of extreme nationalist street thugs who have physically attacked me 3 times (I've never hit back... yet) not even knowing they attack his beloved cops too.

Whole arse, just hanging out. https://twitter.com/hongkonghermit/status/1293207287406800896?s=21 https://twitter.com/hongkonghermit/status/1293207287406800896
Dan "turgidly erect for ethnostates" Cohen uses white privilege to speak over Hongkongers. Us from the old Twitter crew used white privilege to front up to these thugs because they battered ethnically Chinese pro-dem HKers but didn't dare touch us. https://twitter.com/hongkonghermit/status/1293223982989053952?s=21 https://twitter.com/HongKongHermit/status/1293223982989053952
That's why were we out there in the first place, trying to be good allies. We plugged the gap in the line where ethnic Chinese Hongkongers would get battered and their attackers shepherded away by cops (a thing that happened many times).

Dan wouldn't know about being an ally.
Compare how this thread started, to last night’s tankie self-own. The convicted street thug they endorsed as an “actual Hongkonger” has a British passport and a Scandinavian surname. Turns out basing all your perceptions on skin colour alone makes you look like a dumb racist. 🤷🏻‍♂️
This doxxing of an activist by genocide denial blog Grayzone turned out to be a great honeypot to find out which other accounts online are wretched.

Always with the smears of Amnesty international too. But again, fans of genocide denial do be like that. https://twitter.com/monthly_review/status/1293661042342535169?s=21 https://twitter.com/monthly_review/status/1293661042342535169
This whole "pretending to be something he isn't to get clout with western press" doesn't even track. @antd has been quoted far more often, he's our go-to guy for that.
Some people's day jobs are more at risk than others from being politically active. I can name more than one person with the same job as KTG who was sacked and blacklisted for speaking up since 2014. Turns out that rising authoritarianism makes places dangerous to be vocal.
Despite the fact that 10% of the city is ethnically non-Chinese, with 60,000 white people part of that, every single white person who has ever shown up at a protest in any form gets their photo passed around with dumb "CIA?!!" captions.

The ethnostate thirst is real.
