The recurrent slur that the US is behind the Hong Kong protests is a fundamentally racist argument. I think what angers me most is that it's not internally coherent. Why would people resisting manipulation by China let themselves be manipulated by a foreign power?https://twitter.com/IlariaMariaSala/status/1200399096567214081 …

Let me put this in the most diplomatic way I can... Hong Kongers are not the most malleable, easily swayed people in the world. They have agency to spare.

Claiming that others have no agency is matched with totalitarian's claim that their followers have agency, are "free," respected, etc. It defies evidence, but presents a conceptual symmetry. Affection for symmetry is a sign of thought restricted to rote.
