Shame they weren't throwing molotov cocktails like in the video you are commenting on, right? That behavior in the united states is only condoned when directed towards private businesses and individuals in the name of minority groups.
Condoned by whom?
anyone else have family/friends working/born and raised in hk and have zero care about the "protests" ? yeah most people go about their lives while the media bread and circus blasted this to western audiences when it was trendy. extremely amusing to watch internet nobodies absolutely nuke reddit with hk posts when chances are they have no idea how to locate hk on a map
Honestly, how do you feel about anything that isn't local news? Most of national news will be reporting about people you will never meet and don't know too.

At many different times in 2019, 1.7M-2M Hong Kong citizens, or 25% of the population, proudly protested in the streets and requested for their freedom. If only something good had came out of it.
Now it's sunk to what China's best at:
false arrests: https://www.reddit.com/r/HongKong/comments/mc5bah/young_man_...,
arrest for accessing online information https://restofworld.org/2021/hong-kong-journalist-on-trial-f...

Imagine if you were a proud free parisian, and all of a sudden, you now live under nazi regime with concentration camps. That's probably what it feels like.

Well, it's hardly surprising that media reports about the integration of a fairly liberal city into a very repressive dictatorship. Honestly, how do you feel about anything that isn't local news? Most of national news will be reporting about people you will never meet and don't know too.
And HK people's lives were almost unbearable under the tycoons' feudalism, which has nothing to do with Beijing.

I live in HK. 1.7M-2M is a really large exaggeration.
I live in Paris where most of French demonstrations take place (including the yellow vest movement) but I can't pretend to have better estimates than all local and global media sources and public observers.

Liberal yes. But they insist on "democracy" which is ridiculous, as it didn't happen under the British. They "almost" instated it shortly before the handover, but didn't succeed for some reason. Extremely amusing indeed. And HK people's lives were almost unbearable under the tycoons' feudalism, which has nothing to do with Beijing.
Why can't it be something else entirely?

There has also been large numbers of people moving from HK because “[they] don’t want to be stuck in HK after mainland China has taken control”.
