小企鵝看了有靈感,
簡單說說瞭解香港抗爭的心得

ps1. 思考方向是"在未來台灣發生戰亂時,如何更快更好的應變"。如果是要吵誰比較早誰比較厲害,那我會覺得那一定是真愛 🫶

ps2. 覺得台灣沒有機會戰亂的人未免太過樂觀,無視中共毁壞台灣的決心(透過代理人或自殺戰爭或透過民主使親共者全面掌權)
心得
1. 去中心化、不等不靠自主行動的快速行動小隊。將來抗擊本土紅色黑道作亂或情搜干擾登台解放軍的軍事行動時很有幫助。

2. 國際文宣的經驗。快速募資且在世界各報刊登。設計能力大展,還有組織能力及說帖,要能應對中共施壓干預報社的情況。

3. 黑警實時地圖。有戰略價值,背後的工作流程可學習
4. 抗爭現場的組織與指揮共識與方式

5. 在事件發生當下如何使民眾瞭解正確的資訊、快速對抗政府的宣傳和駁斥網路親共者的迷惑人的說法。

6. 海外動員爭取政治家們的支持

7. be water:包括減少自身損耗,增加敵人困難

8. 不分族群的建立抗爭的連結力量

9. 爭議處理、演化進步

As Hong Kong marks 25 years since the handover from Britain, the rapid & undisguised transformation of Hong Kong just 2 years after the National Security Law was imposed sees the fears confirmed in this piece I wrote in 2020 for @prospect_uk. prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/why-h…
This is an excellent deep dive into how Hong Kong has been transformed by China into a landscape where journalists, lawyers, elected democrats, unions & civil society operate in a climate of fear or are silenced by the State in a harsh crackdown on rights and freedoms.
The pace of change has been sharp. Even as John Lee, former security chief is sworn in as Hong Kong’s new Chief Executive, the crackdown extends in all directions, even on labour rights. Whatever Xi Jinping claims about democracy in #HongKong today, the reality is undisguised.

A huge privilege to be at the totally packed London premiere of @RoOT_film, a profoundly moving & powerful film about #HongKong's #FightForFreedom, & Q&A with the courageous director afterwards

Huge congratulations to @nathanlawkc @HKFF_UK /
It was deeply moving to sing Glory to Hong Kong at the end & give the director standing applause along with hundreds of wonderful #HongKongers

This film is banned in #HongKong & I probably committed another #NationalSecurityLaw crime by going to see it, but I highly recommend it
I urge everyone who has the opportunity to go see @RoOT_film

No pretence, no disguise left. Hong King’s National Security Law is being used as a tool to silence expression, crush dissent. One of HK’s most senior barristers is arrested again, as part of another crackdown, this time on @StandNewsHK where she was formerly a board member.
Nothing to see here. Only Hong Kong’s second most senior politician trampling over a free press, protected under Hong Kong’s Basic Law by the ICCPR, without qualms.

The #NSL - “a coup dressed up in statute.”
The powerful sentencing remarks of 73 year old barrister & former lawmaker, Margaret Ng, in her own mitigation earlier this year.

“The law should give protection to rights, not take them away, especially in Hong Kong, where structural democracy is still absent”.

THREAD: Mr Tang: Wrong!

Your quisling government & its #CCP puppet masters are to blame

You, your police officers, your fellow quisling proxy zombies & the dictatorship you slavishly work for are covered in blood, Mr Tang

And in the next tweet in this thread I'll explain why/
Point by point:

1. If #CCP had kept its promise to allow "one country, two systems" & "#HongKong people running HongKong" & upheld basic freedoms, human rights & rule of law, we would not see the tragedy we see today/
2. If your quisling regime had not introduced the idiotic extradition bill in 2019, we might not be where we are today

3. If your quisling regime had listened to the millions of totally peaceful #HongKongers in 2019, we would not be where we are today

1. Most of you may not understand how dreadful the closure of Apple Daily means to Hong Kong. Not only to its journalistic landscape, but also to the people and the city itself. This is their last day. They are going to print 1 million copies tomorrow to commerate the fight.
2. The parent company of Apple Daily, Next Digital Limited, is a listed company. The govt forced a listed company to close itself in a matter of days, though signs have been there for months.
3. By arresting executives, journalists and freezing the asserts, the companies cannot pay their staffers, and staffers are afraid of being arrested. The paper with a history of 26 years is gone. The companies and the arresstees are not even trialed yet.

STAND WITH HONG KONG 🇭🇰

POLITICAL UPDATE

1/ As Hong Kong slides ever deeper into authoritarianism, with the media, courts and arts scene being censored and repressed, more young people make the difficult choice to flee the city…
2/ We must ensure their safety, to preserve and protect the spirit and people of Hong Kong

Exodus of young people from Hong Kong.

Under the crushing fear of the draconian security law, young people are reluctantly leaving Hong Kong in droves to find safety & freedom elsewhere.
3/ STAND WITH HONG KONG 🇭🇰

In particular, activists and anyone associated with the pro-democracy movement in the city simply do not feel safe anymore in their home city.

Agnes Chow just spent 24th birthday behind bars fighting for democracy in Hong Kong. While locked up, China this week imposed law meant to extinguish democracy once and for all. Here’s why Communist Party is terrified of this 24 yr old woman and others(THREAD) #StandWithHongKong
ORIGINAL BROKEN PROMISE: When Agnes was 7 months old, China agreed to respect Hong Kong’s autonomy for 50 years until the year 2047. When skeptics questioned China’s promise during the 1997 handover, China’s premier said China “would prove her words by her deeds.” 2/19
ONE COUNTRY TWO SYSTEMS: The Basic Law agreement sets forward "ultimate aim" for chief executive to be chosen by "universal suffrage." Agnes phrases it quite simply as “We want to choose our future by ourselves.” 3/19

While countries like in the @EU_Commission have in the last decade tried to placate China in order to do business and thus let their guard down, the Chinese regime has been gradually building up its strength and rallying other regimes to strengthen authoritarianism.
If this continues, democracy will be confined to a small group of countries in the @EU_Commission and a few others, and will face political and economic threats from authoritarian regimes which will work together to sideline democracies.
As it is, China and Myanmar are taking advantage of international paralysis at the @UN, @EU_Commission, @StateDept and others to persecute citizens, Hong Kong, Uyghurs etc. And democracies are at a loss at what to do after having surrendered their power for decades.

Myanmar's military is cracking down on citizens. I'm joining a global campaign to support Myanmar's democracy. Please take a photo with a three finger salute and hashtag #SolidarityWithMyanmar. Let's join in to protect our democracies.

Myanmar's military coup regime has zero legitimacy. The whole country has risen up against the military, but the military is using violence to command obedience. We cannot let the military win. Myanmar is at the vanguard of our fight for democracy. Let's support their citizens.
We have seen democracy regress in HK, Thailand, Malaysia, India. It's retreating in East Europe/South America. Authoritarianism has sunk its roots in Cambodia, Laos. Myanmar's military coup has zero legitimacy. Let's stand with Myanmar to resist the global threat to democracy.

What @acertainjolene is saying 👇. When authoritarian regimes oppress the voices of citizens, they start to believe their own stories, and when other countries continue to uphold so-called 'soft' authoritarians as examples, they start to think they do not need to change. And ...
... when such authoritarian models are spread across the world, it starts to embolden authoritarian regimes. There's no such thing as a 'soft' authoritarian. Believing that these regimes will come around while supporting their oppression is only allowing them to bide their time.
By the time authoritarian regimes become stronger together and democracies become more reliant on them, then democracies will be at their mercy. We can talk about localization and bringing production back to democracies, while ignoring the human rights transgressions ...

Goodbye my beloved. From the moment we met, I knew we were meant to be.

Freedom of expression is a crucial and universal human right; recognised by international organisations including the United Nations.
2/ It’s the job of journalists to shine a light on the authorities that govern us to hold them to account for their actions. Yet, in Hong Kong, media freedom is facing the gravest of threats...
3/ ...A new accreditation process has been introduced which has the capability to stifle vital coverage of the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement entirely and instantly.
