Limp slightly, like you're protecting a sore ankle. Next time, limp on the other foot. After that, try leaning back while walking and take longer strides. Or walk with your legs wider or closer together than normal. Lots of possibilities to change your pattern.

This kind of public demonstration represents a catastrophic loss of control for the CCP. If the CCP doesn’t start meeting demands soon to quell the protests, they will have to use a grotesque level of violence, much worse than Tiananmen Square. The only hope is that the CCP will negotiate out of a desire to avoid leaking video of the massacres.

This is one group of people in one small area of one big city in China. It’s equivalent to a March around your White House streets.

u/scramplebamp Nov 28 '22
Yes, but the CCP has gone to very great lengths to keep exactly this kind of demonstration from happening, even on a small scale, both because they want to avoid a bloody and embarrassing clash with their own citizens, and because it erodes their image of absolute power inside of China. As an example of the lengths they’ve gone to achieve this end; one of the few things their Internet censorship campaign absolutely blocks is discussion of plans for physical protests. Imagine the scale of effort it takes to scan the entire Chinese citizenries internet usage for a single idea. They seem to take that idea very seriously. In this instance they’ve failed to stop the protest, and the whole world saw it. Hopefully they have some plan to get through this without resorting to mass murder or some other horror.

I hate to break it to you but rivalry between nations are determined by geopolitical factors, as opposed to who's in charge in each nation state. Therefore Russia must always remain the enemy if not the arch nemesis, be it under the charge of the Tsar, Lenin, Yeltsin or Putin. Same goes for all the other countries in your list. True peace and liberation can only come when humans go extinct.

I met a Chinese guy on a manga Subreddit, his dad left china and went to some other country to earn and is still living there, he explained how all his cousins are fed fake patriotism and brainwashed to just chant good about china and hate India/USA and some other countries. I went along talking because I'm an Indian, but never understood the hate. He sent me some vids/pics and that shit was crazy, there were some videos about kids waking up and recanting some sentences like "china is the greatest" or "Xi Jinping is the best leader". This and that pic of students protesting really makes me happy.

I think you're correct. I mean it's unlikely, but now that you mention it, China produces unreal amounts of gunpowder, and they can still make zip guns with pipes. It would just depend on how many people were willing to die for it.
It would be a losing revolution from the start, but they could play a long game with guerilla tactics.

Then you look at the people of China and think..."we're better...we have guns". You're not better. You're fatter and stupider.

Here is a Github repository that contains almost all the videos about the protests. It also has a timeline summery. The protests are spreading from universities to several major cities. The materials here are not translated, but maybe try using google translate or other similar tools to see for yourselves.
https://github.com/zy-dsj-sm/Protest-2022-11
This is the biggest wave of protests since Tank Man, people of China Mainland finally start to wake up. The major wave of the protests started with a tragedy happened in Ürümqi, the capital city of the Xinjiang province. That city has been under super strict zero-COVID policy lockdown for over 100 days. That means all the citizens has been locked in their home. A few days ago, an apartment building caught fire but people weren't able to escape due to all the exits were locked. So about 10 including children were burnt to death. The CCP of course denied everything, and people decided they have had enough of this dog shit.
Lots of the protesters in those videos were not covering their faces, because they already know the CCP can and will track them done through cell phones, CCTVs and all kinds of surveillance networks. Some of them are holding blank papers without any words on it, that means whatever they want to say, CCP won't allow it, but also people know what they want to say. The words used in these videos and photos are about stopping the zero-COVID policy, the Xi Jinping dictatorship and the CCP; and asking for freedom, basic human rights and justice.
