We’ve fucked it up, let them have a crack

Tiananmen Square was not that long ago. There are lots of living people who would have seen their fellow students get crushed by tanks and rinsed down a drain.

That will keep a generation and their children quiet. Their children have also now seen how risings are punished via Hong Kong.

I don’t think it’s even possible to imagine what you would do having seen your government enact that kind of violence on your peers. So I certainly don’t judge.
