Idk, if people feel strong enough about it and wish to do it for their own well being, more power to them. Everyone has an issue it seems like. Don't get this from here, don't buy from these people, don't buy that shit, only buy local, support organic this and holistic that. So many agendas and for some reason, every time someone propositions me to 'take a stand' it invariably fucks with my wallet. I'd go broke 'protesting' all the various bullshit. The companies aren't looking out for me, aren't paying my bills and they're all about their own ass. So do unto others - which means I'm out for numero uno and what's best for my buck. Lord knows that's what drives any business, the bottom line - so I have to do what's best for mine.
Not trying to sound cold and all, but so long as there's still suffering vets in my country, suffering elderly people, homeless people, hungry people, people being given the shaft or in need in one way or another - Hong Kong is way the fuck down on my list of priorities. Got plenty here at home to contend with. Are the people of Hong Kong giving two shits about the people getting the short end of the stick in the U.S.? Doubt it, they're all up in arms with their own issues. I don't have to agree with how they're treated, sure. But the U.S. has squat to do with it. British took over and decided to make them a colony, then flipped it to China like property bros. No real consideration to the people of HK from either country really and there's some rules in place about what should and shouldn't happen but that's between China, HK and England. Or China and England since it appears for centuries HK has been little more than a stepchild in a custody case rather than a real country.
