This comment of yours made me laugh so hard I don't know why ...These people has been so thoroughly brainwashed by the Western led media driven narrative about "revolution" the notion of "political freedom" and the while concept of "democracy" and human rights without actually studying, understanding these laudable human noble ideals and it's actual historical applications in human history. All these western trained monkeys needed to do was scream "Democracy" "Human Rights" then top that with CCP evil China they got their degree in becoming human rights and democracy.
American educational standards or expertise ain't that high just look at their so-called Christian theocratic mobs and high school dropouts social media influencers that has dominated the American political discourse. Which is why people like the dude on that yotube clip are beyond clueless; they are these wide eyed naive simpletons convinced of their own mega importance because of the "belief" that what they're fighting for has some kind of divine providence which is influenced by their warped messianic Christian teachings.
It made you laugh because those guys are in fact, very, very ugly, lol.
We can safely ignore these morons in the video because they are paid by the US government, but it
There are a few things at work. As you mentioned, especially in America, poor education and a religious belief in ideology. A poster here once said, if the CCP really believes they have done such a good job, then they have nothing to fear by holding an election. My response was that while that sentiment might be true, why is an election the only way to prove it? There is no basis for that argument.
Literacy rate is up, education levels are up, economy is up, life expectancy up, all quantitative measures that indicate improvements in China’s living conditions.
Specifically to HK, they are basically borrowing a page from the Nazi playbook. The HK government has lost its freedom from the CCP, so it will no longer need to listen to the people. Yet before the NSL was passed, it was an incompetent government unable to meet the housing needs and going against the public sentiment by expanding transport services. So why keep a broken (according to the west) system?
