You have already been able to separate your love for country apart from it's political system. What you need to do is look at this from a third party perspective.
Imagine German Nazis coming to Canada and bragging about how awesome their country is and then they start shitting on the local Jews for protesting against the treatment they've been getting back home. How does that look? Hypocritical much? The point people are trying to make here is, if your country (including it's system) is so great why leave? why do any of them need to have a backup plan/exit strategy if things are so awesome?
Obviously I've used some hyperbole here to get my point across. Nazi Germany =/= Mainland China. | So if nazi germany doesnt equal mainland china than your argument is invalid isnt it? its just a group of people (as you said, mainlanders are not nazi's right? right?), who left a fascist (China is far from communist, it's more fascist than communist) country, who have differing opinions. Most of these people still love their country but want to live elsewhere for a wide variety of reasons.
Ask any ex pat why they moved and you'll get a variety of reasons. When they display nationalism towards their home country do you automatically throw a statement like "if you like it so much, why don't you go back there?"
When Italians in America or Canada celebrate Columbus day and waive their flags around do you go up to them and criticize their nationalism?
Its the same shit with us nationalist Chinese. We might not like the CCP but we are proud of our home country. Why is this so hard to understand?

Why is it always the Nazis who signify the epitome of all things evil?
Why not imperial Japan?
They occupied more land, killed more people, and did it more ruthlessly.
But nope. It's always Nazi this, Nazi that...

Ferdinand was a well-documented party member and BMW was the beating heart of the luftwaffe
so should the poles/jews/blacks that drive German cars go back to respecting their forefathers and buy a Daewoo instead?
my point is it's asinine to tell people to go back somewhere if they dared show any support/understanding of a culture they might still partially identify/associate with
the great thing about a democratic and 'free' society is being able to share an opinion with zero fucks given...i can see why waving a commie flag can irk many but to counter-protest against hooligans that trash places/tie people up to a lugguage cart isn't something that will get me all triggered

so you have no problem enjoying the freedoms here but take issue with HK trying to fight for theirs? where's the logic in that?
the sino-british declaration is law. valid law. china doesn't get to sit there and say haha yeah, fuck that we don't care. the mainland people don't get to sit there and have this attitude that HK should just stfu and fall in line. it's one country, two systems not one country, one system. meanwhile, they enjoy freedoms and rights in democratic societies while vehemently opposing HK for fighting to uphold the exact same things they are entitled to until 2047. Opinion doesn't change law.

yeah to what end though? besides ruining a perfectly good city what is the ultimate goal here? You really think China is going to let you guys become independent? do you really think western nations will step in to protect HK?
My logic is simple. Its a lost cause and too many people have been already hurt for something that will ultimately be useless. In less than 50 years China will be able to do whatever it wants. Id take this period to probably find a good exit plan if you really dont want to stick around when they come rolling in.

Here is another unpopular opinion.
The real problem with Hong Kong and the real reason why the population is angry is the decreasing economic significance of Hong Kong and decade worth of economical inequality that has plague the place.
Outrageous rent/house pricing, the stranglehold real estate tycoon has on land usage, the lack of opportunities for young generation and the crazy wealth gap between the have and have nots. It is easy to be angry as a native honger.
Democracy is great in terms of human right, freedom of speeches etc. It is not a guarantee to economic prosperity and in some way it deter economic reform.
Cry for democracy is a temporal band-aid for the real problem. Hong Kong will never be truly be happy until the root problem is solved.

What is proof? Elites don't proof because proof doesn't exist in their terms. At the end, hopefully Hong Kong will step out of the mess.

Honk Kong is full of Asian Zionist oligarchs.
If you look at Syria today with all the terrorist moved to one province, this is what Honk Kong is. If or when China has a war with the Zionist, what will the people of Hong Kong do? Will their alliance be with their Asian country men or Anglo Zionist empire?
Most likely they will be an insider threat to commit terrorist acts against its own people. Quote:
