Hong Kong mothers march in support of anti-extradition students

The podcast “Revolutions” by Mike Duncan makes these protests a fascinating watch - are they the tipping point that causes a regime to shift, or the effort that later generations point to for inspiration if change does not happen?

At the personal level, I prefer to consume from and do business with Taiwan anyway. The CCP and their third-rate institutions and lapdogs have caused me considerable inconvenience, and they are completely unaccountable, so it's an easy choice.

How should this be contrasted with Tiananmen Square? Was that a “shift” towards a more capitalist system?

It's good for a society to have a enemy. Suicide rates are way lower during war time than during peace time, and people are much nicer to each other. Also it keeps people busy and give their life meaning and a sense of purpose.
