No those people should be jailed lmao. Fuck the US. Defend your sovereignty with everything you have. The USA is your enemy as it has always been the enemy of the world. I don't care if canadian liberals win, I NEED THE US TO LOSE! In your fight against US imperialism I have solidarity because the US is and always has been the enemy of the people. you don't need to be perfect victim for me to support you. anything that harms the power of the US is good.

to be clear though I am a tankie or whatever. I do believe Joshua Wong was fighting for something he believed to be "democracy" but this was predicated on western notion of the concept that invited imperialist agression. I genuinely think he thought he was doing the right thing, I just disagree. The Communist Party of China has put immense effort into deterring imperialist meddling in their politics and he undermined this. I don't consider it shocking that he faced consequences.

    here's him meeting with a US diplomat during the protests. Imagine if a chinese diplomat met with the people organizing the BLM protests or occupy wallstreet? How would the US react?

    Yeah that's why the soviets were able to turned an agrarian backwater into one of the largest industrial economies in the world after like 40 years despite being decimated by multiple invasions. They just weren't productive smh

    He won't have to flee anywhere because liberals aren't brave enough to actually prosecute him. They fear setting the precedent would give Republicans an excuse to do the same to them when people are blaming the Democrats for their problems in a few years.
