Hong Kong’s post-2019 lost generation

Alex Lo's take on the pathology of youth riots here in 2019. Interesting, though I don't entirely agree with his take on who is projecting what. As I say at the site:
What about if one is "…a critic of the Hong Kong government, our pro-establishment society and the central government…" [Lo's words], yet at the same time critical of the senseless and counterproductive violence of the youth riots in 2019? Doesn't that make you kind of rational?
Claiming they are a "lost generation" is no excuse for their naïveté, still less for their violence. Which led directly, let's be clear, to the National Security Law and its draconian results.
BTW why shouldn't we be for "stability, law & order, and prosperity"? Why should that be so reviled?
