Lol was this from the Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart episode?

My favorite thing from this was them trading famous lines of theirs back and forth before they just started blatantly making them up, ie:

Sir Ian: My God! There are gods and monsters all around us!

Sir Patrick: My little French nephew is dead and now I must get revenge against the Borg!

Kind of disappointed they aren't doing one on Lex and Terry. They're pretty big in the south east. However, I can't remember anything especially repugnant about them, just generically so.

Leykis was a proto-shock jock in L.A. for a long time. Notoriously misogynistic. Adomian's impression is pretty accurate.

Max kinda lost me on "The regime wasn't causing genocide, they were preventing it!" I mean, I don't doubt that the atrocities committed by the "moderate rebels" were all true, but I also believe the statistic that the SAA caused vastly more deaths in the war than any other faction

Same with Hong Kong. No doubt there are right wing elements among the protestors, but that's not enough to take the side of the cops on this one. Who have undoubtedly beaten more heads in than anyone in Hong Kong who pays attention to Little Marco Rubio, lmao

Being against another color revolution isn't "siding with the cops." As if cops are a political stance. Would you side with the Proud Boys if they were being cracked down on by the pigs? I'm not conflating the two just pointing out how reductive it is to frame this as a "you're either with the cops or with the people" issue.

When city people start thinking of themselves as a national polity separate from the country they're actually a part of, then that's an incredibly toxic mix. The turnout has also rapidly declined since the extradition treaty was taken off the table, which means the character of the protesters has already been boiled down to its most reactionary elements.

It's pretty wild that Singapore has a GDP equal to all of Malaysia.

Of course the biggest hurdle to city-state separatism these days is that practically any city can be rendered economically redundant if it even thinks of separating from a country. That's why the Hong Kong protests are going to fall short of actual independence, and they'll settle on just agitating for a liberal democracy. That's fine I guess, but it's not going to solve any of your problems. The same interests that control Hong Kong now still will afterwards, they'll just do it through a series of conservative and liberal executives.

That's ignoring that Hong Kong has a completely separate political system from the PRC. Right now they can vote and they have legal recourse. In 28 years all of that goes away and they are integrated with a country that has political prisoners and concentration camps. No wonder they're nervous and angry and thinking about independence. I don't buy that this is a US op, either. Yeah there's a trade war but the PRC is still good for business.

Hong Kong has a separate system from the PRC because it was a colony. They can't even survive economically on their own because the expansion of Shenzhen will make them completely redundant. An independent Hong Kong would basically just be floating on its ludicrous property values like some sort of homeowner's city state.

Saying this is a "US op" is also reductive. The involvement of Western interests in culture revolutions didn't make them "ops" in the sense that they were purely manufactured, but the support for those movements reflected their own imperial ambitions. A liberalized Hong Kong won't be able to resolve its problems anymore than any other liberal democracy. It's fetishizing first world political conventions without understanding the dynamics of their power politics. Hong Kong doesn't need direct elections of more legislators and the executive, they need a peoples' democracy.
