Stop, I can only get so hard!

The local supremacists have entered a doomer phase which they gave up hope of "independence", but many still retained vitrol and a bigotted idea that the mainland Chinese are somehow still "inferior" to them. Now they simply shut up about it until they get triggered like post civil war Southen whites in America.
Most of them have migrated away in 2022 to England or America, only to find themselves being fed lies about how great it would be their entire lives, and some have returned quietly after living there proved difficult.
(Particularly with how Starmer is screwing them with changing rules about British citizenship to appease his local xenophobes, ironically enough.)
However, the number of children that are proficient with Puthonghua and Mainland Chinese culture is increasing as a whole lot of online entertainment now comes from China, so in the long view Hong Kong is integrating properly into China as post coldwar propaganda loses its relevance with how shitty the American Empire is conducting itself.

I have lib friends that I have consistently failed to convert even into Soc Dem over the years despite that I have turned Tankie myself. Sigh

They are all worker aristocrats that fancies themselves "white-collar middle class". (We being in Hong Kong with a very recent history of western propaganda fanning the flames of local supremacy against China probably has a lot to do with it.)

I.....with AuDHD I really don't know if my experiences apply to this discussion but I wanna chime in anyway.
Since I was a kid other people had an issue with me for being "too serious" about everything I do, talk, and think about each day, and I had never been able to understand how someone can think about or do something without devoting their brain's energy to it.
Boredom is a suffering torture to me for if I cannot run my mind on something it slowly slogs and shuts down in a very "painful" manner as I drift off despite pushing my willpower to return whatever I am supposed to focus about but find intellectually unstimulating.
Ironically, an intellectually stimulating day is much less exhausting than one that is full of nothing to work on or think about.
Before getting ADHD meds my days ends with a terrible exhaustion that doesn't completely heal after sleeping, and with meds I feel my daily exhaustion reduced dramatically, to the point even some of the days which I forgot my meds I can "push through" because I don't have residue exhaustion from the previous day.

Typical at this point.

I don't know enough about the Times of Maldives to trust it completely, but based if true.

A long overdue callout.

A civilization vile to the core.

The Resistance has been laying low since the fake ceasefire started, I hope they have gained enough arms and new combatants in the meantime.
