This is not irrelevant to the thread topic, and posting one or two articles about it so that people know it exists is fine, but we don't need a play by play of Blizzard or its customers angst as it decides its policy to HK.

Aight, I'll play.

Yeah, okay I'm going to be deleting this post from you as well as the one from Brumby which prompted your reply.
This thread has toed a line so far, but it's not going to become quite that inflammatory.

... you do

I know I do. That's why I specifically stated that I am not trying to. This is going to come out sounding racist. Bu at least I need to let people know that I am aware of the fact that it does sound racist. And I do NOT intend it to sound racist even if it does so.

DO NOT delete this thread. I think some "demography" wants this thread removed. Do not play into the trap.
No personal attacks.
No country bashing.
Resist from derailing the thread into non-riot related topics (I think I've done that twice. It was measured btw and a repeat isn't in line).
The thread ought to be about " HK Protests ". This shall not be just an "anti-rioter" / "Pro-Beijing" thread. Feel free to post anti-Establishment posts too. But since the anti-establishment narrative is peddled in full force in various MSMs, the thread shall see "Anti-rioter" pieces. There are no other known places where "anti-rioter" tidbits/leaks/news are easily discussed.

The West isn't going to bat for Hong Kong. Russia invaded Crimea and the West did nothing but sanctions. That is what they'll do if the PAP enters Hong Kong. If China is concerned about Western sanctions, then let Hong Kong burn by the hands of the protestors. That's the best option to get China's hands the least dirty. The first goal is to drive Western businesses out of Hong Kong. That will do it. They still want to make money from China. They just won't do it from Hong Kong. Time to return Hong Kong to just making rubber dog poop.

is it you ... yes, I'm still interested in your vision of China future Tuesday at 4:51 PM
are the Chinese destined to become Communist society? (I assume you Xs. are well-versed in Marxism so I don't need to define like the highest stage of social development etc. actually I don't know the line in English exactly myself)

for instance Bolsheviks during Brezhnev times believed the U. S. S. R. represented сверхцивилизация = super-civilization (or something like that)
after your Tuesday at 2:17 PM
A very proper priority. It is the CCP which (largely) unified China. Define China without the CCP and you'll have to leave Tibet and Xinjiang and even Mongolian Autonomous region out of it. The party designed and defines the constitution that shall prevail over the entirety of territory under its direct control. Any other questions ?
 
an excursion into HK legal issues leads the article to a call for deescalation
(personally I was thinking earlier this week who'd benefit more if a recess in protests were negotiated now -- I'm not saying there's such thing, I'm saying I was thinking how it'd be should it presently occurred)
Carrie Lam’s mask ban is an ineffective stick for violent protesters. Where’s the carrot for moderate protesters?

Rick would want me to comment beyond saying it's interesting, but what should I say when I don't have a smartphone (really):

Following massive backlash, Apple removes HKmap.live, an app that helps locate the police deployment during protests in Hong Kong. The app is allegedly used to target and ambush police, violating local laws and the community guidelines, said the company.

I don't communicate with trolls or those who aren't receptive of other's inputs. Can't engage in fruitful discussions.
Stop asking for my comments. @Jura.
Aren't you being a wee bit desperate to know what me thinks.
But only if you change the way you format your comments in this thread. Then, I MAY consider.
