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.
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.

Even being mistaken as a mainlander was indeed risky business. This Japanese man was mistaken as one.

As was this Taiwanese man

Here is a crowd in a shopping mall yelling at mainlanders to go back to where they came from.

This mainland girl was beaten up by a crowd and was helped to an ambulance by some of her HK classmates.

Open the thread in this tweet for a whole series of violence towards mainlanders.

Joshua also praised the "Fire Magicians" of Hong Kong before they ended up lighting an old man on fire

Here is a video of that man's wife speaking shortly after the incident.

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....

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.

Joshua had a lot of help in that regard also.

Albright, who previously said killing half a million Iraqi children was worth it, congratulates the new presidential team most likely to find another half million children worth less than America's foreign policy objectives to sacrifice once again.

I always found it interesting how "human rights" groups latched into a problematic character like Adrian Zenz simply because he's saying something that people want to hear. For those same people, had he been saying anything else, his problematic beliefs would have been an issue.
I've got one that really drives this serious cognitive dissonance issue point home far better than Adrian Zenz. Meet Cory Selby. A convicted animal abuser who killed his dogs, lived with their rotting corpses, and refused to do his community service in an animal shelter. ImageImageImageImage
He's a YouTuber whose been struggling to get views and ironically makes videos about animal abuse issues in China without any sense of irony or shame.

Albert Ettinger's Battleground TIBET.

Highlights and notes thread.

I'll slowly add to this over the next few weeks, so keep checking back. Image
Ettinger was driven to research This topic after recognizing his school lessons on Tibet were taught from a one-sided & manipulative Tibetan Exile point of view. Seeing the "Free Tibet" crowd protest China's human rights abuses by assaulting 2008 Olympic torch bearers added irony
This part was particularly interesting because when you see people tweet parts of Tibetan history that conflicts with their understanding of reality/lifetime of manipulation, this is exactly the reaction we've seen. Image

Some people asking me about my Sri Lanka trip I mentioned in my livestream yesterday. I visited in 2010 on a trip to donate eyeglasses to some of the people in the poorer countryside areas. A lot of people came together to make this happen. One of my favourite memories. ImageImageImageImage
I don't talk about it much, but it came up in relation to religion. I met some of the most humble & kind Buddhists monks in the countryside who refuse any of our gifts. Religious power in the cities was a very different story though, something I'll talk about more in future vids. ImageImageImage
Off topic, one of my favourite new experiences in Sri Lanka was Wood Apple. Incredibly sour. I've only ever seen it in Sri Lanka. I loved it, but you can tell by my wife's face, she wasn't a fan. ImageImage

Yes, absolutely. If any 10 year old child has grown up an environment where they believe they should be ready to sacrifice their life for a living spiritual leader like this, 100% I would without hesitation call this child abuse.
The Children of The Peoples Temple believed the same too.
If you wanna see what the 16 year old child in this tragic story looked like when he was 10 years old, look no further than the video of the 10 year old I posted in the first tweet. The world needs to stop romanticizing this cult immediately and demand the end of this child abuse

When you look at the how Tibetans in India do mob-rule democracy from their recent "Take her beauty pageant crown away" campaign, it's important to remember the other values they also hope to export. Some were unfortunately radicalised by them, it's the point of their US funding
A friend born into the overseas Tibetan exile community came to China. He told me that many of these guys never even tried to get a Chinese visa & just assume they cant. However, they do undergo more detailed background checks because of this legitimate religious extremism issue
The US isn't funding friendly guerillas here. The US' true goals, motives & ethics are the same as always been. If ever they accomplish their mission, Tibet will look like any of the other countries the US destroyed, even the Dalail Lama's brother agrees
