        I once bought a Diet Pepsi to protest diet Coke’s new can. Wasn’t happy. Still am not. Proud of my willingness to stand for whats right and what not.

        Yes. Democracy comes in waves. There's been 2 great waves of democracy in history, both preceded by a middle stratum. First in the Mediterranean Basin in Antiquity, then along the North Atlantic in our own times. Unfortunately democracy and the middle class goes in waves too.

        Assaulting and vandalizing in the face of dystopian dictators is something to lavishly applaud

        I have started my own ‘yellow restaurants only’ campaign three months ago. I am happy to say that I am enjoying it! I have started sharing my experience with people on FB. It keeps me motivated and optimistic about our fight!

        It shows how Hong Kong people support #HKprotestors by action. Some people may not be brave enough to go to the frontline, but they still can help in their daily lives.

        This absurd Hong Kong gov. make us turn everything we have as weapon to rebel it. It is part of our daily life now. We are only willing to shop and do business with these "yellow shop". We also hope this move can expel Pro-Beijing business so as to liberate Hong Kong.
