I mean, they were different. The HK protests were ostensibly to defend against the extradition of a suspectedremoved. The BLM protests were about people getting killed by the police in the street.But, hey context is overrated.
it's so funny when you show Honk Honk Liberals the original case that started it all. They have no idea that their entire movement is to protect a murderer.
And they were also two different countries and two different cultures. When comparing two events they are never the same. It's asinine to point out 1 or 2 differences between them and say they "they are not the same" and therefore cannot be compared. Especially in this case when the criticisms from blue liberals was over the treatment by authorities in one instance vs the other. The comparison is therefore completely fine. I was not comparing the reasons behind the protests and the critiques from those fools was never about that.
Ah, I didn't mean to imply that you were. My point was that 'those fools' rarely knew any of the actual context behind the HK protests anyways. They absolutely can be compared, and should be.
