BTW, keep an eye on international street protests: the Hard Lefties actively field-test in or learn from a variety of international markets. Plenty of Lefties have been checking out Hong Kong and would love to use those tactics here. I expect they will.

The tables of free stuff I believe is also not a Hong Kong innovation. Not that they aren't awesome!

Regardless, a learning experience -- especially at scale. And you're not the only one going. I fully expect lessons learned in Hong Kong will be incorporated in planning for the big protests Hard Lefties here fantasize about. Curious if that'll be in 2020 or in Trump's 2nd term.

I'll believe Hong Kong tactics can be exported when I see masked black bloc protesters with bricks and metal bars in hand walk through an entire upscale shopping district without breaking a single window, something so routine in HK no one even points it out
