No, you are the loser in the sense that what the central government has been doing is far closer to my largely peaceful preferences than your violent fantasies.
Ohhhhh
I'm the loser with all the likes on my comments and
you're the winner fantasizing about water deprivation, a plan which no one else supports, in an imaginary secession, right? LOL OK, I'm just saying, by your old logic that the person going off on a tangent is the loser, that's clearly you with the incinerator. Gonna move the goal post on that too?
Once again, screw your water deprivation BS. You cannot cause that amount of collateral damage to patriotic citizens just because they don't self-organize into equally active pro-Beijing riots. If Hong Kong seceeds, as I said, tanks and military, minimize damage to patriots; absolutely no blanket treatment of the city, punishing those who don't deserve it.
My resolve might be violent, but it targets exactly those who deserve it and not just everyone in Hong Kong.
Look, I am probably more pro-Beijing than you are. And I'm certainly not accusing the central government of letting Hong Kong citizens down by not invading the island and spilling blood.
I'm looking but I'm not seeing. You might be pro-Beijing; I never said you're not, but your plan sucks and revolves around a non-existent situation based on principles that fail to define the role of the citizen and the role of the government. You are a perfect example of why the model citizen shuts up and supports his government instead of trying to enact his own ideals. Your heart's in the right place but your head is nowhere to be seen.
But let me be clear about this: the CCP has let these patriots down by not protecting them, and not securing their city. That is a fact; they have been let down because they are oppressed and alone, endangered
in their country for loving their country. BUT I would never accuse the CCP of incompetence or making a wrong choice. In regards to that, they have my total confidence and undying support. I like to think that the plan in Zhongnanhai, which I don't know, is highly strategic and requires some sacrifice and endurance from these patriots before they are rewarded. For the national good, Beijing cannot be as violent as I want them to be. And as I've always contended, "Your country can betray you but you can never betray your country." Maybe these people were thrown under the bus for the better good of China; it's cold-blooded decision that I can mourn but never protest, but the fact is, as of now, the patriots of Hong Kong have been let down by the CCP.
And your whole point seemed to be centered around the mistaken principle of "If patriots don't riot or mass protest, then they don't deserve consideration." Now, it's been shown that not only is that based on an inability to understand the role of citizen and government but also your failure to keep up with the events showing that those protests did indeed happen. And now, there's more:

So seriously, with every point of your argument broken or completely irrelevant from the start, why don't you just STFU?
