minus-squaredavel [he/him]linkfedilinkEnglish9•8 months agoObviously violent “protesters” can’t be allowed to terrorize a city. But that’s not the narrative imperial core media spun about it. They spun a story about “freedom fighters”. It’s what they always do. Behind a made-for-TV Hong Kong protest narrative, Washington is backing nativism and mob violence
minus-square@PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink1•8 months agoHm why does this narrative of violent protesters terrorizing cities feel so familiar? I wonder where I’ve heard that before
minus-squaredavel [he/him]linkfedilinkEnglish9•8 months agoI don’t know, where? Vagueposting isn’t cute.
minus-square@PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink3•8 months agoSorry haha got a little carried away with the sarcasm. This narrative is used by the US a lot, for example Black Lives Matter protests
