I am criticizing your argument that just because the government has not given what you want after 10 weeks, then violence is a neccessary evil. A neccessary evil is something you do to achieve a good result, if you just do something bad that will achieve a bad result to spread a message then you are virtue signaling.
Also, whenever I mentioned the results of violent protests you don't seem to care. Do you care about the future of Hong Kong?
I doubt Communists care if the HK citizens clean up a train station
They want all under heaven (tianxia) under a unified center kingdom.
stamp out dissent.
Saw what they did to the tibeteans. they put the uighers in concentration camps.
Only reason they don't clamp down on HK yet is for funneling money.
godless facists!
The camps didn't happen in a vaccum. Xinjiang has been plauged by deadly riots and terrorist groups. China did what worked, not what is morally right.
CPC focus is not putting everything under a unified central kingdom, then they would taken away Hong Kongs freedoms a long time ago. They are perfectly content with the way Hong Kong works today if it stable.
CPC focus is stability. That means they will clamp down on violent protests and never agree to their demands. China is not like a western country where the government will eventually give up if you protest hard enough. If it goes out of hand, then they will clamp down like they did in Xinjiang. The way to bring real change to Hong Kong is to get some of the chinese public, all of Hong Kong and the business community to sympathize with your cause. That is why cleaning up the train station is helpful while distrupting flights is very unhelpful.
What is there to re-read? You basically said it's right for China to put Uyghurs in concentration camps because there were a couple of terrorist attacks.

No, I didn't.
