Sad

Why are Americans not in more vocal support of the Hong Kong protestors? Protestors are non-violent, want self governance and freedom from authoritarian rule. They are facing down the most powerful autocratic government in the world who threatens the use of military force, who has employed such military force on their own population before, and yet, no one in America gives a shit. Maybe this is part of America's long history of isolation, or maybe it doesn't neatly fit into the current ideological narratives of the moment.

Why don't these Congresswomen who are so vocal against the Israeli state's injustice not equally vocal against the Chinese state injustice? Why don't they promote divesting from China?
