If anyone wondered what would have happened in the US if the US had a wave of protests similar to Hong Kong… This is what would have happened. In fact, this protest seems better organized, more structured, and a little awe inspiring to be honest
Now the question is if the students can organize en masse and march on the capital to occupy the Capitol.
HK was hugely coordinated though. It would be like if not just a campus but the whole city was in on it because they knew they didn’t have a choice, and the tactics were more specific to what would work against the CCP, not the US. If it was in another country that wasn’t an oppressive autocracy, it would probably have been very effective.
Edit: hey downvote if you want, but tell me something like this doesn’t take coordination:

Their oppressive autocracy vs our (?)
Liberal media in HK pumped up the young full of lies in HK so they would protest against a country that would provide them housing, a better quality of living and most importantly; democracy. Its a hard truth to swallow but more HK protestors killed other HK people than police vs HK protestors…
Something most people in HK dont have as an account of being a british colony for 100 years.
This is… Not evidence of coordination, but of network effects. The same reason that hockey fans descending into a riot after losing Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals is not an indication that they organized a riot.
Unlike the Hong Kong protests, these protests are for actual issues instead of an NED fueled fight to prevent the extradition of a guy who murdered his girlfriend.
That’s exactly what they should do. Take this energy to DC and storm the Capital.
You guys really try to use that to make it less of an issue.
'Gotta act fast if we want to continue supporting genocide.
Funny how whenever literal nazis gather and protest cops are nowhere to be found
No, they’re there, just not in uniform.
Blue state, blue governor, blue mayor, blue senators, you physically cannot get more blue if you tried.
And yet, here we are
“…a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”
“Blue mayor” and “Blue governor” are REALLY stretching the definition here… with a healthy push from the ever shifting Overton window.
Look at actions, not words or badges that people pin to their own lapels without earning them.
They’re members of the Democratic party. They are, by definition, blue.
They are a reddish shade of purple, at best.
US Supreme Court justices are, by definition, the highest arbiters of truth in the US… BUT the definition is clearly trailing the reality.
Actions, not words.
Red mayor pretending to be blue*
I would say at this point there’s no discernable difference between a blue mayor and a red mayor pretending to be blue.
Maybe if we vote more blue, this won’t happen again…
Regardless of what side of the issue being protested you are on if you are in favor of cops in riot gear breaking up a peaceful protest, you are a traitor to our country.
It’s that simple. You cannot stand for American values and cheer that a peaceful protest was dismantled by government goons.

Lul indeed. I wonder what would be the result if someone asked the world what ‘American values’ are …
… or if we asked historians.
Where’s the next Kent State? The weapons and armor are much bigger this time.
Ohio is red these days and the college still exists, don’t take away their shots at history!

This referred to CUNY a few times. I thought that, City University of New York, was a different institution, and I got the impression the article was referring to Columbia University as CUNY. Maybe I missed something?
