    A suggestion:

    You live in Hong Kong and you simp for the UK or America; then you have to do a mandatory semester of British and American colonial history.

    If you’re caught a second time simping for the Brits or the yanks; then go to prison. You’re just a god damned liability to the stability of society at that point and you’re just looking for chaos for the sake of it. Or you can choose to be relocated somewhere in the mainland doing something genuinely productive and get integrated. Their choice. But staying in Hong Kong and promoting separatism or neocolonialism is just not something you will be allowed to do.

      That’s really a fair notion.

      My ideal policy: If you live in the US and UK and are not ashamed of the country’s past then you have to do a mandatory 2 years of Anglo history from the Crusades up until the present with strong emphasis on colonialism. Part of that should be how the anglo aristocracy uses religious/social engineering to manipulate literally everyone (evangelical christianity is the fastest spreading religion in latin america - guess who funds it? - the US and the UK). If you leave those meetings still clinging to fundamentalist/evangelical christianity… we relocate you into the Native reservations in Alaska and the Great Plains where you have to live side by side with them and work to help them improve their material conditions (for the natives who want to stay, idk this is getting more comples than I’ve thought about) for free.

      Fun fact- Mormons should be seen as an offshoot of freemasonry, and their 2 year “missions” should be seen as intel gathering for the US gov’t since they disproportionately work for the US military and intel after the fact.

    Brits and their settler troops have never had to apologize for or reckon with their collapsed empire. Such a shame.

      There will have to be a reckoning in the West or we will never move beyond this phase of our history, which is ongoing yet coming to a close (it is being compelled to come to a close). The ruling class will oppose any sort of healing as much of their domestic control comes from manipulating our history.

      I bet the entire thing is just astroturfing anyways. Maybe some hundreds of people who were walking down a street, everyone with a gigantic flag or banner and when they took that picture they tried to make it look as crowded as possible. Otherwise I think it would be rather rare to see this many flags but no signs or other common demonstration items anyways.
