With Joshua Wong's name popping up again recently, here's a reminder video about his philosophy on trial and error violence.
Joshua is an incredibly xenophobic anti-mainland protest leader celebrity who helped fuel a lot of the violence towards mainlanders in Hong Kong. https://twitter.com/DanielDumbrill/status/1193084915975409664

This Taiwanese journalist had to repeatedly tell the crowd that they were from Taiwan and not the mainland so that they wouldn't get beaten up. https://twitter.com/Tong_Shuo/status/1168844387532472320
Even being mistaken as a mainlander was indeed risky business. This Japanese man was mistaken as one.

Here is a crowd in a shopping mall yelling at mainlanders to go back to where they came from. https://twitter.com/liamstone_19/status/1174223143948509185
This mainland girl was beaten up by a crowd and was helped to an ambulance by some of her HK classmates. https://twitter.com/DanielDumbrill/status/1194142127745191936

Joshua also praised the "Fire Magicians" of Hong Kong before they ended up lighting an old man on fire https://twitter.com/DanielDumbrill/status/1253130182031884288
Here is a video of that man's wife speaking shortly after the incident. https://twitter.com/DanielDumbrill/status/1196355237486854144
Here is Joshua's good buddy who ran from HK responding to an audience question on whether he'd condemn the attack on that man. He say's they're working on freedom and unity with the protesters is important.... https://twitter.com/DanielDumbrill/status/1267281468587298817
Here's some more Joshua's protesters giving some local women a bit of the trial and error violence a spin.

I doubt you'd see American protesters ever getting this much of an upper hand on their police this often. Kinda makes you question that "brutal force" narrative you kept hearing.
After seeing all the videos above, you can really understand why Joshua has this smirk on his face when he says this:
This is pretty funny too.
Joshua's whole shtick was to cause problems for Hong Kong, not to solve them. https://twitter.com/DanielDumbrill/status/1180821455690321920
Joshua had a lot of help in that regard also.
