| Subject: The Hong Kong Protestors Are Fighting The Same Injustices As The Founding Fathers Did Fri Oct 11, 2019 5:15 pm | |
| While extradition of those on trial provoked this year’s protests, it is a movement for democracy that is at the heart of the demonstrations.
One of the world’s most liberal economies faces one of the toughest threats to the limited self-governance it has left from a parent nation that looms as a global superpower. Demonstrators have taken to the streets for months of protests to revolt against the injustices encroaching on the little autonomy they have, objecting to extradition of the accused to the mainland and demanding greater democratic freedoms by disrupting business-as-usual with grand acts of defiance.
Sound familiar? That’s because it is. The Hong Kong protesters are fighting many of the same injustices that the American colonists fought more than 200 years ago leading up to the American founding.
