It's not my country, that's the proper name for the country you were referring to. Either way, things haven't been going very well for the past few decades there.

I got myself laughing my ass off today when I saw this. Apparently the Hindus are now leading the way in the fight against Global feminism.

A useful website to catch up on to every incident that happens live in HK.
You can also use this website to get news and reports of conflicts in different regions of the world.

Someone just shot in HK. Its boogaloo time!

2019-10-01 10:17:52 UTC  

I hope the world's watching, this will be a lesson to us all

2019-10-01 10:18:33 UTC  

No nice guy democracy bullshit against the totalitarians, this is how things actually go

2019-10-01 10:20:11 UTC  

What do you think would happen if we airdropped in light arms and anti-armor weapons?

2019-10-01 10:20:48 UTC  

Why would we do that?

2019-10-01 10:21:28 UTC  

Arsenal of democracy and all that

2019-10-01 10:21:53 UTC  

Nah

2019-10-01 10:22:02 UTC  

Highly ineffective in 2019

2019-10-01 10:22:17 UTC  

The weapons of modern day are the information war and economic shutdown

2019-10-01 10:23:56 UTC  

If weapons were so useful, Hong Kong would've likely already used them. They haven't used them en masse yet precisely because they rile up even more of the population.

2019-10-01 10:24:27 UTC  

So tear gas it is instead, and even that quite sparingly

2019-10-01 10:39:02 UTC  

Short term yes. Eventually everything will be backed up with weapons.

2019-10-01 10:43:39 UTC  

No, the governments prefer to resorting to mass arrests, and most people won't fight that with deadly force

2019-10-01 10:45:04 UTC  

When the government uses deadly force against the majority of protesters, that means it has been taken over by the ultra violent already

2019-10-01 10:45:38 UTC  

At that point the populace has no chance with deadly force anyway, because the military is far too well trained

2019-10-01 10:46:15 UTC  

This is why the key is not to win the war, but to win sympathies, in this case the ultimate ally is the military

2019-10-01 10:46:42 UTC  

Soldiers don't want to kill their own friends and family, so the key is to make sure they won't feel incentivized to do that

2019-10-01 10:48:07 UTC  

So civil war in 2019 is a lot more about moving the pieces on the board rather than attacking outright

2019-10-01 10:49:26 UTC  

As Sun Tsu has taught us, wars don't just happen on the battlefield

2019-10-01 10:50:27 UTC  

If he was alive today, he would hold online battles in high regard

2019-10-01 10:50:54 UTC  

As well as economic shutdowns by the populace

2019-10-01 11:15:35 UTC  

I could also simplify this argument: you have to have the military on your side, whether you're the government or the civilians

2019-10-01 11:16:17 UTC  

The only group that's usually willing or at least strongly incentivized to actually fight is the army

2019-10-01 11:17:16 UTC  

And as the government you don't want to alienate the military, so if you push too far you risk getting disempowered by them
