People in China might not think allowing Hong Kong or Tibet to secede is important.
We can't start with those things that the majority of public opinion is in support of to make the world free. It is precisely forms of repression that the majority of public opinion supports that are the most sticky.
And by engaging in introspection, and seeing what kinds of repression we have rationalized and normalized in the West, we can create and test strategies to find ones that are effective at convincing people to stop being complacent in the face of popularly supported repression.
