From The
Idiot Factor:
Protests have never been unusual around
the world. But what surprises me is the fact that people protesting their
governments have called on the US to
intervene in their countries internal affairs. That has happenedin Venezuela, here I have seen people on the TV, who
are protesting against President Nicolás Maduro, and they have asked the US to
invade their country and remove an elected president.
No I see protesters in Hong Kong
carrying American flags and asking the US to
protect them from their own police. It is outright embarrassing. We seem
to be living in a time when violent protests take place by conservative
people act cowardly, expecting “Big Daddy US ” to magically come in and save
them. These people don’t seem to realize that the US rarely
acts on behalf of people in foreign countries. The US ,
whether troops or sanctions, goes where our so called “interest” lie. US leaders, as
Trump, like to talk about supporting democracy and freedom, but what they
really support is just their right to make money and they make that money at
the expense of other people, in other countries. They take care of US interests
and they rarely protect anyone else.
In a major act of hypocrisy, both
Democrats and Republicans are pushing through congress a so called “Hong Kong
Human Rights and Democracy Act.” According to
South China Morning Post, while cover the
massive protests:
A spokesman for the organiser said:
“Our rally is to urge US congressmen to pass the Hong Kong Human Rights and
Democracy Act. We also want to show them our stance on freedom.
And US politicians, almost unanimously
have passed such a law. According to the BBC:
The bill - which still needs to pass
the upper house, the Senate - would mandate an annual review, to see whether
Hong Kong had sufficient autonomy from the rest of China to
justify its special trading status.
The lower chamber also approved
stopping tear gas exports to Hong
Kong .
On Monday, Hong Kong protesters took to
the streets to support the US bill.
The real hypocrisy here is that the US would NEVER support
that kind of protesting here in the US —vandalism
and throwing fire bombs at police? No way! All we have to do is look at how
protester were treated during the Occupy Movement. They were not violent
and yet there was tear gas and mass arrests used to break up a non-violent
protest movement here in this country.
For people here at this blog, we are
well aware that this country will not do anything to support real democracy.
The Hong Kong protesters
are naive idiots and cowards. If they really want democracy and freedom, they
need to do it on their own and not try and rely on a foreign imperialist power.
Unfortunately we live in a time when cowards are rewarded for their deplorable
actions.
