It seems that the extradition law was postponed but now it has turned into a moment against the chief executive and they're demanding greater freedoms.
I'm actually kind of shocked that this pic is known outside of the US. Don't get me wrong, in America is one of the most iconic pictures in history, but surprised to see that other cultures would use it as symbolic protest. Although Hong Kong is in proximity of Japan and I would bet some HK citizens fought the Japanese in WWII.
Any smart commander surrounds the city and starves the people into submission. Sending men in tanks and men with rifles into a city is a classic case of 'when all you have is a hammer' thinking.
It will become unspeakably horrible in the city before all is said and done, but the only thing about war that has ever really changed is the scale on which it takes place, and seeing 7-million people starve to death probably doesn't look all that different from seeing 10-thousand starve, something which has properly happened once in history for every meal a typical westerner eats in a lifetime.
Honestly, its unfair that we only ever ship guns to poor people living in the middle of nowhere. It is time for use to finally test our thesis that guns protect us from strong governments. We have millions of extra M16s lying around ever since we phased it out for the M4, we should give them to Hong Kong. Hell, they are have Brit so we can also test what happens when Anglos get guns too.
Yeah the vast majority of countries would be better if they were still under colonial rule but being another peoples bitch is considered a bad thing. Plus the colonists have gotten much more woke since then and much less likely kill large swathes of the population if it inconvienced them since they left.
this is a pretty retarded take, do first worlders also elect different political parties to office because they are tired of "being the other party's bitches"?
Hong Kong will always be part of China. It will never be a colony again to these running dogs and violent thugs. The government needs to call in the PLA to put down this riot. These violent thugs and rioters have gotten out of have, disrespecting their great homeland and culture. This is treason.

Being a racist loser that makes fun of racist losers doesn't make you any less of a racist loser.
Pretending you're too stupid to understand how you spend your free time doesn't make it any less pathetic to spend your free time that way.

More detailed yet less dramatic.
1 UKIP_Future 2019-07-01
Yeah. By the protesters themselves...
1 -Kite-Man- 2019-07-01
...yup...

In other words, the common people of Hong Kong hate the Chi-Coms so much they want the British Empire back.

The top one isn't a real picture. There is no way they ripped open the road with that flag pole.
1 BasicallyAHelicopter 2019-07-01
You’re so retarded you think you’re actually smart for figuring out what the picture was mimicking.

Either way, neat.
1 Elite_AI 2019-07-01
I watched Iwo Jima
1 drama9069 2019-07-01
In what way did I give off the impression that I thought I was smart for seeing the similarities?
1 hi_0 2019-07-01
When you made your edit pointing out the similarities no to the source material

Hong Kong protestors broke into the parliament and set up the old colonial flag
1 whoresloverfat 2019-07-01
Plus, their social credit scores just dropped into the low 460's, and now they can't access public restrooms.

Imagine if Hong Kong becomes the new area for proxy wars?
NA and EU vs China. It wouldn't surprise me tbh.
1 ManBearFridge 2019-07-01
Doubt Hong Kong could fight a real war. Maybe they would goad China into overreacting as they love to do to create more civil unrest.
1 2Manadeal2btw 2019-07-01
Do you know what a proxy war means?
It would be entirely funded by the US and EU. Hong Kong will just need to resist via guerrillas.
1 ManBearFridge 2019-07-01
Hong Kong is just a giant densely populated city.. Not exactly ideal for guerrilla warefare.
1 2Manadeal2btw 2019-07-01
Tell that to Hezbollah.
1 ManBearFridge 2019-07-01
Wow, look how densely populated their campaign is. I can barely pick out the soldiers from the civilians.#/media/File%3AMilitary_post_birkat_hukban_south_lebanon.jpg)
1 totally_not_ac3 2019-07-01
Urban is perfect for guerrilla warfare
1 ManBearFridge 2019-07-01
That dense though? There's over 6k per km2. There's no where to run and China wouldn't care about innocents.
1 Whaddaulookinat 2019-07-01
Pfft everyone forgets China's brave rescue of those students on June 4th 1989.

Yeah china could easily shell every inch of that island
