Sinister things are already happening to the protestors. The piece of shit governmaent is dropping UV powder on protestors from fucking helicopters so that they can be identified as participating in the protests, and then arrested.

So, fuck you china.

I personally boycott anything from china for the rest of my life. Period.

I will hold to that statement.



> Sinister things are already happening to the protestors

I'm not the above poster, but I think that was their point. Right now, when sinister things happen to the protestors, there is little confusion as to the source. But if the protestors were offending TWO powerful vested groups, then each can hint that the other is the source of the problems and observers will have a hard time knowing who to blame. Protest groups NEED observers to have clarity - the only way non-violent protests win is with the eyes of the world seeing the sinister acts and knowing who is responsible.


Good heavens, it's a difficult path to walk avoiding Chinese goods. Everything seems made in China - clothing, electronics, etc. Moreover, when shopping online it's rarely specified where the product was made. How do you manage these practical problems?


Obv this is the most valid question.

Lets all marie kondo the fuck out of china: china does not spark joy.

So just minimalize the entire world.


> (the) governmaent is dropping UV powder on protestors from fucking helicopters so that they can be identified as participating in the protests, and then arrested.

If you don't think police forces around the world won't learn and copy this tactic, you're sorely mistaken.

Also, I applaud your vindictiveness, but good luck abstaining from any consumer electronic that doesn't include China in its supply chain.


I am already a minimalist.

I can do this.

The problem is i still need a small amount of things (which i already have, which were made in china (crock pot, etc), but ill have to work even harder to stick to my statement)


Everyone in Hong Kong should dust themselves with UV powder.


My god that would. Be both horrific and hysterical at the same time.

Btw, how do you wash off UV powder... asking for a friend....


Completely agree. Made in China is not for me anymore.


I love that this is being downvoted you Chinese piece of shit shills. Keep going! The more it’s downvoted the more i win!! Yay communist robot shill pieces of shit!
