(-) pol (general), palestine, more hong kong posting as usual, wars context: the UK, canada and australia offered humanitarian visas to certain types of hong kong residents after the 2019 protests

it'd be funny if china started doing the opposite

I still think it's deeply hypocritical and cynical of the west to offer such visas when they're doing the exact same shit to local protesters, especially when (at least) Canada isn't offering similar visas to Ukraine, Afghanistan and Palestine
but I'm on one rn so I'm not complaining, I just think the offer should be extended to others

(like at the end of the day we hongkongers are just dealing with the same shit protesters in the west deal with all the time, whereas those places are dealing with wars and genocides)

just remembered that I used to think I was some sort of robot sleeper agent disguised as a human or something, and that all the features of my body are just hyper realistic simulations (at least to my mind)
which I'm sure is a 100% normal thought that all normal humans have

@digimint make all elevators pay-per-use and stairs as difficult to access as possible
put poor people on the upper floors too

hong kong, pol (general), nationalism and languages/identities/cultures is there another example of a privileged group (as in wealthy, etc.) being assimilated / denied the existence of / worse? I'd imagine it's fairly common after coups and stuff but I'm having trouble thinking of examples

hong kong, pol (general), nationalism and languages/identities/cultures I guess it's still weird for HK because we're very privileged compared to many other such groups and our identity is entangled in two different colonial powers

pol (general), nationalism and languages/identities/cultures I was doing homework and almost wanted to say having one's language/cultural identity be inherently mired in politics and activism is rare but, like,
no
no it isn't
it isn't at all

- LIGHT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN MEANING
- YEARS OF TRANSMISSONS yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for controlling electronics further away than your FINGERS
- Wanted to go further anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "WIRES"
- "Yes please give me 100 WATTS of photons. Please give me 2.4 BILLION OF THEM A SECOND" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged
LOOK at what Radio Users have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the transistors and antennas we built for them
