Obviously violent “protesters” can’t be allowed to terrorize a city. But that’s not the narrative imperial core media spun about it. They spun a story about “freedom fighters”. It’s what they always do.

Behind a made-for-TV Hong Kong protest narrative, Washington is backing nativism and mob violence

Hm why does this narrative of violent protesters terrorizing cities feel so familiar? I wonder where I've heard that before

I don’t know, where? Vagueposting isn’t cute.

Sorry haha got a little carried away with the sarcasm. This narrative is used by the US a lot, for example Black Lives Matter protests
