DAE feel like maybe these whole climate marches and stuff is just a distraction, from what is going on in Hong Kong?

Forgive me if this was already mentioned. And also, please forgive me if this sounds stupid. I'm fresh from Reddit, so I'm very well out of the loop. Anyhow, I just got to thinking that, ever since all this climate stuff started, you hardly hear a peep about Hong Kong. What do you guys think?

Seems possible. They want us to forget about epstein too. And they want us to not see the huge protests in Iraq, or that Israel just bombed Iraq. They want us focused on things that don't affect the money-making games they're playing

Thanks, for your insight. I just heard about Iraq. This stuff makes me so sad... and confused. I actually have a lot of negative feelings about what is going on in the world today. Not only on just the bloodshed, but the lying and manipulating... greed, too. I just wouldn't even know where to begin to accurately describe my feelings on the matter. I kind of wish that I didn't know anything. Like they say, ignorance is bliss. But, to be honest, I'd much rather be depressed but aware and educated vs having my head stuck in the sand.

Thanks.

I know how you feel, it is upsetting. But mass awareness of these facts are a necessary prerequisite to stopping them. So just be proud you are ahead of the curve on some issues.

Climate change marches are also a distraction from the fact that man made global warming is a hoax.

Thanks for the link. I'll take a look at it the first chance I get.

This guest is a Chinese American who studied abroad in Hong Kong? 🤨.
The intro described her an organizer for a socialist party that I'm not familiar with (not that I'm familiar with any socialist party).

Seems like a dubious source.

I'm partial to any possibility of Independence for Hong Kong, cause the independent quality of life will definitely decline if/when China consolidates power there.

I wouldn't want to live in China (and I've been there).

If anything it is the other way around, local problems are never going to be as impactful as the incineration of most life on earth due to the current runaway global warming feedback loops. The methane deposits in the fucking Arctic are exploding already.
