      That's a conservative estimate, given that there are no precise head counts for 19 of those protests & they're therefore not included in that total of 7,889,781. Just since last Thursday, hundreds of thousands of #HK people have participated in 7 major protests.

      So-called 'violent' protests get a lot of media attention. @FT gave an otherwise good piece the unfortunate title 'Why HK's 'water revolution' is spiraling out of control'. Huh? That's the perception when media exclude nonviolent protests from their view https://www.ft.com/video/a78ca0ab-3cce-4886-bb42-cf2f802c70d4 …

      Entirely nonviolent protests & nonviolent protesters still are the vast majority in #HK, a fact the media shouldn't forget in its coverage. Over-emphasizing 'violent' protests, as some media have done, plays into the #CCP propaganda that we're all 'rioters'.

      Ever since #June9 & #June12, the pattern of these protests has been: entirely nonviolent protests alternating w confrontational protests. I think that (& the unity between nonviolent & confrontational protesters) has been key to the protests' effectiveness & endurance.

      After a weekend of confrontational protests (8/31, the airport 'stress test'), yesterday 75,000 protested nonviolently. Even in the case of the confrontational protests, such as 8/31, the vast majority do nothing that could be considered 'violent'.

      I say this as a lifelong proponent of nonviolent struggle. These protests have made me re-evaluate my ideas, my philosophy, my strategy. If you allow that violence is justifiable in fighting dictatorial oppression, then the question is whether the violence is proportionate.

      To the extent that some protesters have been 'violent', has their violence in fighting dictatorial oppression been proportionate/discriminate? W a few deplorable exceptions, they've primarily attacked police & govt buildings. There's been no looting or damaging private property.

      The vandalism of MTR stations & the airport does represent an escalation, as these can be considered 'public goods' (many ppl use them) in a way that police stations & govt buildings (few ppl use them) can't.

      If police attack protesters, do protesters have a right to fight back? In a liberal democracy under rule of law, perhaps not. But what about in a non-democracy under dictatorial rule when the police are put in the position of defending the unjust regime, as here in #HK?

      Again, I say all this as a lifelong proponent of nonviolent struggle & I don't have this all entirely figured out for myself yet. I just hope media might be a little bit more nuanced, balanced & contextual (ie, most protest is nonviolent) in their coverage of 'violence' in #HK.
