To the tankies and other morons who oppose the Hong Kong protests because they don't do enough to address racism, migrant rights, economic inequality, and other issues, then I just want to let you know that the Security Law will it make it NEAR-IMPOSSIBLE TO PROTEST THEM /1
Wanna fight racism? You can't because that's "treason". Wanna fight capitalism? You can't because that's "treason". Wanna fight for migrant workers? You can't because that's "treason". Wanna fight for queer liberation? You can't because that's "treason" /2
So congratulations to you idiots for willingly cheering for a government that will not only make any form of dissent impossible but will also crush any socialist or left movement in Hong Kong before it can even take off. Congrats on gaslighting the entire Western left /3
into believing that the serious threat to human rights, the police brutality crisis, and the injustices of the government was nothing more than a CIA plot. Congrats into isolating HK leftists from reaching out and building coalitions with the left when they needed help /4
Oh and if you're going to wonder why social, racial, and economic inequalities are still going to be a thing after all this, it's going to be because people will have LITERALLY NO RIGHT TO PROTEST THIS SHIT. Plus the police and prison systems are going to be expanded /5
and dissidents and marginalized people are going to suffer even more with more policing and more prisons.

You're complicit in the suffering of HKers AND you're complicit in the suffering of the very marginalized people you claim to support. And I hope you're proud of it /End
