The Apple Daily editorial has the alarming truth behind the pretty shoddy writing. You have no idea how many HK people support Trump, and I'm talking about regular rank and file public housing people, salt of the earth folk.

I had a chat with my SC when we were riding earlier,

and he's a normal bloke. Regular academic background, regular job, regular everything, top bloke. Him and everyone of his buddies seem to think that the current US administration will liberate HK and pray for the US 7th Fleet to arrive. I then later had a chat with some old

friends when I was taking on water at Central after the ride and they too expressed a strong opinion of the Dems being "Licking Communist a lot". The really patchy understanding of US politics and domestic affairs, coupled with a faux participatory role of KOLs spreading gossip

, leading a lot of people thinking that "doing their bit" is to stan the biggest guy (whether or not he is the devil) is a very dangerous recipe. Do you lot know why we relatively don't have much support in Europe and the US youth? It's this blind belief in the current spun

narrative that's doing this damage. Time after time I've seen the lads and laddettes doing damage control on the "International Front" after strong, mainstream pro Trump opinions find their way to the top. It really makes their jobs (and by extension mine) difficult. If we think

about it from the other side. If we were another country and some small but influential city was making a lot of noise and trying to (somehow) get the opposition leader (who happens to be not very nice) elected, you'd see why a lot of people are very pissed. The lie that HKers

are "Global citizens" is really showing itself. It's never been about connecting with the world to a large extent, it's about self preservation and opportunism. Sorry to be blunt but it's so fucking primitive, like, you go around boisterously cheering and yelling for a prick,

it's very very cult like my dudes. I can tell you now that our reputation amongst the "majority" (AFAIK) of the younger liberal modern folk isn't really good. I've had people ask me why am I "doing my bit on the field for Trump", which I then have to explain that I'm not really

fond of him and that I just patch people up. This reverberating narrative has a lot more consequences than you think my dudes. It's proportionality, I'm sure if for whatever reason if it was another US dude helping louder and harder than Trump then I'm sure HKers would flock to

that person. The lack of proportionality is disturbing, it's like the Estonians worshipping the SS because the SS and German forces are actually viewed as liberators and stuff. Like, please don't stan a horrible person even if somehow he brings change and help. There's a

line between acknowledging and appreciating the support and loudly being MAGA. We all know what Cult of Personalities do, and the current HK support is nothing more than that, except that it manages to really affect our international image. The majority of the english speaking

centrist, centre right and centre left world hates the man. That should be a warning bell, like why do we still go all bells and whistles and flags and shit into this is beyond me. Should we not have adopted a more subtle sort of acknowledgement? It's not like this is a children

storybook and the prick changes quickly is a nice guy and everyone is happy. This is the real world, and realpolitik and practical alliances are really fucking killing us (morally) as fast as the CCP are trying to kill us (literally).

HK has become "Pop Star fan" mentality.

Oh and btw, HK has a fast growing number of young fascists (and as a historian I do not use this word lightly). Where I kid you not, they want to massacre BLM and Antifa because of such unsavoury opinions that I feel uncomfortable typing them. A lot of folk view them as the

enemy because of the supposed hindrance to our liberation, so it were and also a lot of HK folk really don't like black people (AFAIHS doing into public housing areas and doing surveys a few years back). Now there's a stage where a lot of them want to destroy them so I'm like,

bruh. If you hate them, fine, why do you want to wish for such horrific (and historic) violence on them. My dudes, this is really fucking barbaric-
