Hong Kong was bound to be taken back by China since it is right next to it.
True. But your easy acceptance of the loss of freedom for millions of people, is a little chilling.
Not a damn thing I can do about it.
You could at least express some sympathy for how shitty it is for the people.
Me? I see no reason why a line on a map, can't be respected by people. China has over a billion people. THey really needed a few million more?
That was bullshit. THeir stated reasons, were bullshit. THey are just greedy, grasping assholes.
It's called payback for losing to Great Britain in the Opium War
If I told you that I wanted payback for some war from centuries back, and was willing to see people die for it, today, for me to have that, Let's say, the War of 1812,
you would tell me to go **** myself, that I was being a complete asshole.
And rightfully so.
BUT, when the person saying it, is not me, nor someone like me, for some reason, you accept it, as though it is reasonable.
Why is that? Is it because of race? Do you hold white people to a higher standard?
Is it because I'm American? Do you just always side AGAINST America? Are you anti-American?
My questions might seem, unfair. But you are accepting as as reason for pay back, THE ******* OPIUM WARS.
So, seriously, what is the reason for the different standards?
