You know I am supportive of the cause right? I'm just not supportive of the us vs them mentality that is going on.
We the Hong Kong people in alliance with the fine folks of the west want to bestow the gift of democracy to the backward barbaric mainlander is what the whole movement is looking like from the other side.
Instead of trying to the other side and healing the difference. You and other are still trying to incite discrimination and divide. Recognize that bias that exist within. Just because a small portion of the protestor is using Mandarin doesn't mean that the protest as a whole is accommodating to mainlander
I mean your post started off with a rant about your perception of mainlander still being brainwash despite actually mainlander trying to voice their view.
Ends with oh but we are not really against mainlander, look at these protestor using your native language. I can learn to speak your barbaric language but you are still a barbaric. | I'm sorry that you're determined to interpret things that way

this isn't a protest for the right reasons anymore. who the fuck protests with masks and helmets on? are you expecting a brawl?
People need to realize the police have rights to do what they do, and why instigate even further? if protestors really care about the well being of their fellow protestors, why challenge and try to start shit by occupying places that are going to cripple the whole of HK? Fuck right off already.
Yeah try this shit anywhere in the world, you think cops will just stand there and watch, especially when you have front line protestors wearing helmets, facemasks and goggles?

It is a mean of protection. And frankly they are expecting a ran in with the police force. They are also trying to stay anonymous for fear of persecution by CCP.
The thing about being anonymous is some people take that as a get out of jail free card and abuse it.
Crippling the city was a way of getting attention. There is no point of protesting in the forest where there nobody watching you.

They have clear written guidelines which they have completely ignored.
As you are someone who obviously have no experience with the Hong Kong political system, let me tell you that the Hong Kong government doesn't give a shit about what you think until you threaten their economic lifeline.
So I always laugh when you have mainlanders half way across the world spewing their propaganda bullshit. Just look at the global news link. "Canadian" citizens waving the chinese flag in foreign countries trying to tell people "the truth" when they have never been there. Armchair experts in Hong Kong affairs with news from weibo and wechat.

I mean how else can you put it? You think people consider the positives and negatives of living under tyranny, and go "yeah, this is better than the alternative"? Somehow I doubt that. They literally aren't allowed to see the other side of the debate. They can literally be banned from travelling for disagreeing too strongly. They can be put into internment camps for speaking out against their leaders. How else do you put that without sounding like a setup to a joke? I'm at a loss...

I'm guessing it's the police sending out alerts so people don't get caught by accident. https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/compone...abChangeable=0
On side note, this was Granville/Robson earlier tonight.

So... these people, in democratic Canada, where they have freedom of speech, are counter protesting against those in (or supporting) HK that are protesting for their freedom/rights/future, which these people never had in the land they came from?

| Some are probably ignorant, some aren't, but they keep quiet, some don't care, some profit from it so they're all for it, and then there are those who do speak out and protest inside too
It's just like anywhere else in the world, even the US (in terms of reactions from the citizenry)

As predicted, today's march was the biggest since 616 (edit: 1.7 million). Police only issued a letter for Victoria park, but so many people came that it spilled into the streets, pretty much like the first two big protests. So that didn't stop them from coming.
China was doing military drills openly in Shenzen, attacking people dressed up as protesters and spreading footage on social media. That didn't stop them from coming.
It was pouring rain the entire day, amber warning. That didn't stop them from coming (actually it was quite cool today which was a nice break. It's been insanely hot in the last week)
This march was interesting, because aside from in front of the China Liason building, there were no police presence whatsoever. And wouldn't you know it, there was no violence either. Imagine that. Protesters are ignoring that area, so riot police are just standing around. (it's 9:30pm right now, let's hope it stays this way)
The intended statement was that a few crazy moments at the airport do not represent what most people believe in, and Hong Kong people can "be like water" while still demanding the five completely reasonable requests that any legitimate government would consider.
Pretty proud of these people 
On a personal note, I was in TST tonight and wow, it was like a ghost town compared to usual. Nobody around, especially tourists. They really have somehow stopped a vast majority of mainland tourists from coming down. I'm sure it's killing that part of the economy. Which some say would be great as we can go back to stores and services serving locals rather than the same luxury stores and cosmetic stores everywhere.

As if you needed more proof of how out of touch and idiotic these mainlander counter-protests are - here are some pictures from Toronto:  
Nice to see people using their freedom to protest to only try to take things away from others.

These Ferrari Lambo guys can do the same in China and they won't stop you. Chinese nationalism is supported by the party. Seperatism isn't.
