| A good article, reporting a sad outcome of our protest movement |
A practical result of the protests: society split on colour lines. “Blues” are pro-government, pro-Beijing, pro-police. “Yellows” are anti-government, anti-Beijing, anti-police. Blues tend to be older, Yellows younger, so that often splits families. Splitting society like this is naive and harmful.
I reject the binary. Eg, I’m not pro-protests, but neither am I pro-Beijing.
Another outcome: having trashed the economy, the Yellow supporters are now teaching them to make cookies. Well done. I reject the binary. Eg, I’m not pro-protests, but neither am I pro-Beijing.
