This thread doesn’t challenge the central points of my article:
-US regime change arm National Endowment for Democracy poured millions into key groups
-Xenophobe media tycoon who just met with Pence and Bolton also a central figure
-Protest “leaders” are groomed by Washington

My article is not against the protest movement in itself. Clearly Washington is unable to mobilize tens or hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong youth. There are real and serious grievances the US is exploiting to further its own agenda.
.@IlariKaila is threatened because my article exposed the geopolitical context and the right-wing, oligarchic nature of the protests’ US-backed leadership. He has no comment on Jimmy Lai’s nativist tabloids, nor of Joshua Wong’s close connections to the most fanatical neocons.
