HK is dead. I'm glad I at least got to see it before the fall.

Not just for Hong Kong, the internet itself has been changing drastically for years now. It's gone from wild west to controlled and authoritarian in just about a decade. It all works in China's favor, they use the internet to control people all over the world. Reddit is the perfect example of that.

China's protests have failed. Words without action mean nothing.

Had they been armed...

True, but arms themselves don't suffice. The people would need the will to use them.

A revolution when the military supports the incumbent power is useless.

Unless someone drops a shipping container full of guns on the dock at hk, they will almost certainly lose. Shut off the internet so the world can't see China doing its usual rape routine.
