Insane. Infuriating. And impotent. Is how I feel. Feel kinda ashamed for not having kept up. Especially the 2019 HK protests. I literally lived through it. I literally was there. I saw Eilly during her protest at the HK airport. Never bothered to find out how things ended up. Even though I didn’t choose to uproot myself I’d say I finished the job pretty good. Engrossing but in the worst way. Complicated feelings

Jesus Christ. I think I was only vaguely aware of the anti-corruption movement. 反黑除恶。I think we saw posters in 2019. But bruh It’s like cultural revolution part 2dude. Insane… also insane is the existence of human rights lawyers in China. Like life forms living in an active volcano!! Wow. Every history book I read tells me society is cooked. Doesn’t matter if it’s the U.S.. Italy.. or China…
