Ok what’s the real reason they’re dissolving it? They haven’t been forced to do this obviously, they’ve done it willingly with 97% of them agreeing. This AP article has literally no explanation whatsoever, it just goes off into propaganda about the HK riots and then leaves the reader to interpret that they must have been forced into this by the evil “CCP” by completely omitting whatever real debate must have occurred within the party to produce 97% support for dissolving.
USAID money ran out.
This major force for liberal democracy had 400 members, according to NATOpedia.
Hong Kong has a population of more than 7.5 million.
Very real, very not astroturfed movement for liberal democracy.
To be fair, that’s probably a better ratio than most DSA chapters in the US.
Of course DSA isn’t receiving financial or technical support from foreign governments.
According to the NYT there’s around 90,000 DSA members in all of the US, so with ~340 million Americans the DSA has 5 times more members pro capita than “the biggest pro-democracy party” in Hong Kong lol
And I’m pretty sure the DSA’s ratio would be significantly better if you only looked at major cities. There’s a local meme party where I live, whose only tenet is that they like drinking beer, and it has a better ratio than the Hong Kong Democratic Party
It has been very interesting watching all of these “freedom and democracy” NGOs and “Freedom watch” type people and organisations all fold in on themselves now that the US isn’t nearly as concerned with soft power and slashed their funding.
pro-democracy
a term for morons who think Jeff Bezos and a fast food worker have the same amount of political power because they both have one vote
Did the NED cheques start bouncing?
lol the US allegedly agrees to trade Asia for the Middle East and two weeks later these nerds almost unilaterally disband
it’s The End of History
The beginning of the end of the end of history
Buh bye
Actual democracy or “Freedom and Democracy”TM?
Nice
wonder if the academia radlibs will say anything about this
they’ll say “Free Tibet and give it back to the CIA weirdo who asks children to suck on his tongue”
they’ve been made redundant, so why not
HURRAY!!!
