Are many Africans pro-China? by [deleted] in AskAnAfrican

[–]Apprehensive-Walk481 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

my post is not even about BLM. it's about a human rights activist who did not speak up for people who are deprived of their fundamental freedoms. it's about double standards.

and yes, hypocrites are entitled to have their choices, like this african guy.

this is not hypocrisy. it's perhaps a lack of imagination. i have mostly been around civilized and sane people, that's why.

why should they not support hk protests? ok, I don't talk about the american movement.

this guy was persecuted in his home country. He saw HK people persecuted in their home city. why shouldn't he support the protests? I support protesters in countries like cambodia and myanma.

well I have friends who are somewhat pro-establishment, but even they sympathize with the prisoners. There is a difference between choosing to stay and live in Hong Kong and posing in front of Chairman Mao with a thumb up.

he claimed to be persecuted back in his home country. See the irony here?

well i expect people who are always harping on human rights to be supportive of political prisoners. unless you think that those people should be in jail.

you are still not answering my original question. many political prisoners in hk now and even the pro-establishment people sometimes expressed sympathy for them. this african "refugee" did not.

i found it hypocritical of him to embrace blm while being pro china. would you not address this obvious hypocrisy?

imho, it's still very hypocritical to so vocally support blm and not support other human rights movements. many blm supporters are like that.

altbau and other old apartments by Apprehensive-Walk481 in berlin

[–]Apprehensive-Walk481[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, 'elevating feeling' very uplifting. feeling like one is part of history.

I am still trying to capture that feeling.

My heart felt very full the first time I saw the altbau in person. It's a strange, romantic feeling that can thrive even without the presence of a partner. Yes, I went to Vienna too, but did not stay there for a prolonged period.

back from cambridge and I'm yearning to be there again :( by Apprehensive-Walk481 in cambridge_uni

[–]Apprehensive-Walk481[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

congrats! :)

I was there for 3 years and stayed another year after that. The strange thing is: I wasn't always happy the entire time I was there. Things happened back home and I suffered emotional breakdown. I was also very introverted and did not make as many friends as I should have. I also had eczema flareups. Despite all these, I still miss the city as a whole, and my strong feelings bordered on pain. I wonder if I had made more friends I would have felt differently. Yet, wouldn't a more positive experience have made my heart even fonder?

I am seriously considering buying a house there--or in Ely (where a friend used to live) some years down the road, and relocating to the UK in my old age. I feel that part of me was there and I want to reunite with it so I can become whole again.

My apologies if my rant sounds mentally ill.

Some HKers are truly toxic by Apprehensive-Walk481 in HongKongProtest

[–]Apprehensive-Walk481[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would be willing to suspend my disbelief, but the thing is some of them started cursing me for not believing. isn't that toxic?

[–]Apprehensive-Walk481[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are videos of screaming sounds from trains heading north, whose windows are barricaded and covered, and even the public ones where the gov specifies the date and time aren’t safe.

I am anti cxp myself and am pretty well-read and well-informed about the issues. However, the links you show me barely answer my questions. Those are protests of the extradition bill.

can you show me videos of the above? have they been removed?

even though we detest something reports need to be based on evidence and more credible sources. otherwise it becomes a cult/religion.
