After Cheney's scaling event, I mean Bush's invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, San Francisco protested hard. A lot of their techniques were innovative and new, and the organization was stunning. Occupy was even better tactically and strategically.

None of them compared to the freedom fighters in Hong Kong. They do the things that Americans are too cowardly to imagine, like shutting down airports and transit.

Have you seen the way they extinguish tear gas canisters with traffic cones? With some guns, some tanks, some international support, and the right leader, Hong Kong could win their independence from the monsters who run China.

You're suggesting engaging in a proxy war with China?

The moment military grade weaponry is used by freedom fighters (or protesters, or anything that stands in the way of mainland China) the whole thing will be over in 48hours to China's advantage.

International support ? So, going at war with one of the top 3 nation on earth. Considering how Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. benefited from international support, what can go wrong ?

still enjoying your school holiday?

independence? you mean a self isolated island without water/food/electricity supply? will also be interesting to watch how they can manage to sustain their economy and way of life.

First of all, that's not what they're protesting for at the moment. All they want is to maintain their autonomy without interference from China, which was promised for 50 years. Most people know that Independence isn't feasible. (Both politically and geographically)

The moment people start using guns, will also be the moment when HK is completely over. China knows how important their international image is, which is why they won't send in the army any time soon. But the moment things get seriously out of hand, I'm fairly certain they'll send in everything they got, and end HK as we know it once and for all.
