If anyone wondered what would have happened in the US if the US had a wave of protests similar to Hong Kong… This is what would have happened. In fact, this protest seems better organized, more structured, and a little awe inspiring to be honest
Now the question is if the students can organize en masse and march on the capital to occupy the Capitol.
This is… Not evidence of coordination, but of network effects. The same reason that hockey fans descending into a riot after losing Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals is not an indication that they organized a riot.
This is the exact shit people were saying for the Hong Kong protests, and the exact shit people were saying for the Tiananmen Square protests. Word for fucking word.
