      Yes, the country whose president may have just suggested nuking hurricanes is so omnipotent and well-organized that it can somehow make millions of people across the ocean risk their lives to demand true democracy—the most basic demand for centuries now. https://twitter.com/fartron/status/1167073897843515398 …

      Here’s the screenshot of the tweet the coward claiming Hong Kong’s brave protesters are just a “state department op” that he deleted. (And the next one he will likely delete). The deep racism of such claims is infuriating. HongKongers are risking everything for a freer future.pic.twitter.com/cqpJ9Xh3tx

      These idiots who think the state department can “make” millions risk everything probably could not manage to run, say, a coffee shop with two employees. But they’re so racist that they believe in remote magic wands that work especially on nonwhite people, and by the millions.pic.twitter.com/f4HRbMCHbg

      Maybe the state department tries to interfere here and there. Who cares? The idea that millions demand democracy at the behest of some foreign government (at great personal risk!) is deeply deeply racist. The fight for freedom is no culture’s monopoly. https://twitter.com/a_bad_sign/status/1167083357093670914 …pic.twitter.com/aKlGp3LLXe

      People in my mentions still claiming that Hong Kong protests (and Ukraine!) were state department ops or somehow CIA-orchestrated etc!! The level of racism behind that assumption that non-white/non-Western Europe people can't have their own movements for freedom is mind-blowing.

      Funny enough, some of them are actual people with less discernment than bots might have. CIA orchestrated a coup in 1953, therefore every mass protest thereafter is potentially orchestrated by them—or something like that? Give me the bots.
