So perhaps you were downvoted for being vague. But certainly things like the supreme court recently refusing to hear an important case on qualified immunity have me concerned that USA-ians are whistling past the graveyard right now.
- Ensorceled 6y agoThey are also being down voted for trying to make this a conversation about the USA instead of about Hong Kong.
- ciarannolan 6y agoThere's a "but America" comment in all of these threads, usually more than one. It's boring and played out. I just downvote and move on.
- bsanr2 6y agoUSA is relevant because any discussion of HK democracy or capitalism places it along an axis between the virtues championed, globally, by China and the US. Otherwise, what discussion is there to have about a Chinese city that the Chinese are dealing with as they see fit?
- Ensorceled 6y agoSure, if this comment actually WAS about that axis, and about how the UK and the US have taken a step back from their international engagement, THAT would have been an interesting and useful addition to the conversation. But, that isn't what this comment was.
