I saw this Tweet from the Washington Examiner.
This American woman is lecturing Hong Kong protesters about how good they have it and should not be protesting.
"You guys value freedom more than safety."

This is the Left in America. They hate this country and want to lick the boots of the ChiComs.
I would be ecstatic to trade every American Leftist for every Hong Kong protester because clearly there is more American blood in the veins of those Hong Kong protesters than in the veins of American Leftists.
And frankly, I think the American Leftist expats would be happier in China. As long as the Chinese government gave them the creature comforts they are used to in the US and respected their pronouns, the Leftist expats would be happy to live inside a bubble of Communist political propaganda and would be the best enforcers of conformity that the ChiComs could ask for.
Update:
I really, truly believe that Starship Troopers should be required reading in high school. This girl would benefit greatly from having read Robert A. Heinlein in her youth.
” I was not making fun of you personally; I was heaping scorn on an inexcusably silly idea — a practice I shall always follow. Anyone who clings to the historically untrue and thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.”
“You guys value freedom more than safety.”
Imagine her telling the members of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry (Immortalized in Glory) that. Or the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Thank God there are still people who DO value freedom more than safety.
They’d only be happier until the Chicoms started being commies and denied them something they think is their right. Then they might, possibly, understand.
Since their rights are all free stuff, the ChiComs could buy their loyalty.
Sam Adams has the perfect retort:
“If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
“You guys value freedom more than safety.”
Translation: you slaves and prisoners should be happy to be enslaved! You get free education, free healthcare, free housing, and guaranteed work.
Leftist. Pro-slavery racist before the ACW, still pro-slavery racist even now.
Thanks for the Heinlein quote. Always a good reference!
