#Hongkongers, you need to understand the ideological evil and danger manifest in this change of motto of the #HKPolice. It is not an accident. A pledge of "Honor, Duty and Loyalty" to the collective, to the state, must and will end in the bloody sacrifice the individual,

of every individual who refuses to submit to the state. They will proudly, righteously, use however much brutal force as is required. The Nazis proudly engraved this motto on their own logo: "Meine Ehre heißt Treue" -- "My honour is called loyalty" --en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meine_Ehr…

I couldn't more ardently urge every #hongkonger to read the entry on "duty" in the Ayn Rand Lexicon, to learn the mortally dangerous, blood-drenched ideological roots of the term and concept of "duty" -- aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/duty.h…

For the sake of your lives and liberty, from the link above: "The notion of “duty” is intrinsically anti-causal. In its origin, a “duty” defies the principle of efficient causation—since it is causeless (or supernatural); in its effects, it defies the principle of final causation

—since it must be performed regardless of consequences. ...The acceptance of full responsibility for one’s own choices and actions (and their consequences) is such a demanding moral discipline that many men seek to escape it by surrendering to

what they believe is the easy, automatic, unthinking safety of a morality of “duty.” They learn better, often when it is too late. " For the sake of your lives, your liberty, your future, @hongkongers - reject duty, the murderous standard to which the @hkpoliceforce have sworn.
