2. 🇭🇰 Gov & #HKPF has been making efforts to disperse crowd (e.g. deployment of teargas & excessive force) at BEGINNINGS of protests

On Sunday, group of Mainland Chinese took down Hong Kong-style Lennon walls on the original Prague Lennon Wall and repainted with "China" and no. 70 with in PRC flag style. All this while taking pics and vids of their conduct yelling "We love China". Hard to get more distasteful.

Turns out it was a group of local Overseas Chinese (sinopsis.cz/prazska-lennon…) that took down the HK Lennon walls off the Prague Lennon Wall and then repainted anything related to #antiELABhk . Graphic designer Liao who authored the 70 with wrong PRC flag comments:

"Lennon Wall is a wall that expresses the feelings of people who like art and it brings real aesthetic value. It's not a place for political bickering."

We need to chart a path through inter-imperialist disinformation war over Twitter. The battle for #HongKong provides some powerful examples of what we're up against. It's not only China or Russia who are engaging in it. This article tells the story. 1/

Many social media platforms removed Chinese state sponsored accounts for engaging in disinformation around Hong Kong. Many of these were low-level amplification bots tweeting things like 𝙃𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙆𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙖 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 or spamming the CN flag. 2/
In over-adjustment to the history or US meddling many people refuse to acknowledge any legitimacy to the #HongKongProtests or to claims of disinformation by the Chinese state. They go as far as claiming that the use of barricades or non-violent direct action = US interference. 3/

Cara meredam gas air mata: jangan lupa bawa tumbler, tak lupa sarung tangan anti panas.
Jangan lupa bawa sarung tangan anti-panas. Suhu proyektil gas air mata yang baru ditembakkan bisa capai 70 derajat. Cukup buat kulitmu terkelupas.
“831, you beat someone to death. 721, you disappeared.” Protesters are condemning police beating people up on August 31 while on 721 when triads beat up passengers, police were nowhere to be found.
“Killers, rapists.” These are two of the common accusations against the police.

‘Why stay?’ ‘What is the point of storming?’ ‘Why stay to sacrifice yourself when the night is falling?’ ‘Why not ‘be water’ when the police begin to attack?
These are the frequently asked questions to the frontline protestors in recent protests.

I can summarise the mindset of the frontline protestors by just one sentence:
Our aim is simple: it is to make the police’s clearance efforts more difficult, every single time they attack.

I don't think I have much say in what's happening in #HongKong, given that I've only lived there for the first four years of my life & have visited there a handful times as an adult. #hongkongcanadian Photos From the Hong Kong Extradition Protests nyti.ms/2X3ywPH
However I have loved ones living there & my grandparents had worked hella hard to move to HK where they ended up having my parents & them having me. I've always been proud to say that I was born in HK while living in Canada & it's always been joyful talking about my visits there.
The past several years in HK have been slowly crushing my soul & now that I've a better understanding of my rights & the sociopolitical circumstances I face, it's absolutely devastating to see this happening to my birth city. #HongKongProtest #freehongkong #onecountrytwosystems
HK will likely ignite again on June 12 when the extradition bill is scheduled for second reading. Calls for actions have are now circulating in Telegram groups. Not heeding the popular will is going to have dire long term consequences for the HK government.
More calls for protest on June 12
Intersting poster, @jwassers. Goes to what you said the other week about protest as a form of learning and not an attempt to escape education.
