Offtopic, but it's sad how all discussion about Hong Kong just slipped away into the void. I think this is the first time I've seen it mentioned in almost a year.

One of my friends just didn't even remember it happening, he thought I was making it up at first.

    It’s sad, but I don’t think there’s much else that can be done. I guess it’s all running how the CCP wants it now? (Or are there still protests we just don’t hear about?)

    Beijing inserted candidates into the local elections, won power and passed sweeping National Security laws which allowed for mass arrests and the breaking up of pro-democracy institutions. The key people in the movement were jailed. New laws, mass arrests and detainment effectively ended protests.

    TL;DR: it was crushed.
