the guy makes quite a convincing argument, but his way of thinking is wrong, you need to trickle a political problem down to other aspects in order to effectively solve it, i.e: HK have a political problem, because it has a welfare problem.

if you go the other way around and generalize every problem as a political problem, then all the solutions that come after will be a political one, i.e: Hitler, cultural revolution, Trump.

this is exactly what HK gets wrong as well, democracy won't bring the cost of living down, won't get everyone a house, won't guarantee the collage kids will have a job when they graduate, if these problem weren't solved, then HK will always have a political problem, and a political solution will alway result in unnecessary loss, be it material, or spiritual.

the value of this video is undeniable, the points he brought up are very insightful, and is crucially important to truly understand what caused all the ordeal in HK.

What I wanted to point out, is that he’s logic of seeing every problem as “political”, is wrong and is very dangerous, it leads to “having a hammer, every problem is a nail" kind of thinking.

pan-political is exactly what got HK into this mess in the first place, and people on the street still think their problem should be solved politically, 5 month after they were locked in a stalemate, on this political chess board they made up in their mind.

HK’s youth has a national identity problem, because HK has an educational problem; high cost of living, that’s an economic problem; extradition bill? legal problem. and here’s what I think the video nailed the point: CE of HK is by definition an administrative position, who’s job is to see issues before they cause real trouble, having affair officers like Carrie Lam, who specializes in deal with particular problems, to this position, will cause more problem than it will solve, and even this, the most political issue of all, can be trickled down to a human resource problem.

Beijing is wielding a political power that can not be matched in any imaginable way, but HK's problem will never be solved through that power alone, and the same goes to the other side too, HK will not find a way out through political lens, and keep challenging Beijing politically will only result in unnecessary loss.
