Flintlock76 charlie hebdo Flintlock76 With that quasi- Kristallnacht going on in Hong Kong quite honestly I really don't care if imports from China come to a screeching halt. I mean, I'd hate to see a peoples attempt to keep what freedoms they have quashed, and then to think I paid for it. Look for business elsewhere Mr. Fritz. If the regionals and shortlines can find it so can you. Screw Wall Street. I doubt if you intended to, but your equating the HK situation with Kristallnacht is offensive to Jewish folks and anyone opposing racist behavior. The HK situation is complex and bears little resemblance to how the dynamics were initially. It's more like Kent State, if demonstrations there had gone on and escalated for months. I used Kristallnacht to get people's attention. Obviously it worked. I also think it's germaine to any situation where authorities perpetrate an injustice on those with very little capability to fight back. I doubt anyone Jewish will be offended. If anything they might just empathise. I'm so angered over this I can hardly type. You see, I know someone in Hong Kong. So do some others in the Forum family.

I showed your remarks to several Jewish colleagues and friends. They found your invocation of the beginnings of the Holocaust to the sad events in HK to be very disturbing. One sympathetic person wondered if you were senile. Another thought you must be anti-Semitic. I let them know that you are a decent guy, cognitively unimpaired but enraged. All find such analogies trivialize the worst nightmare in history.
I also know two former students (Chinese) who live in HK and stay in frequent contact with me. They are familiar with the Chinese University in Hong Kong. They suggested that the situation is very complex and has deteriorated from what was initially occurring. One questions whether a core of anarchists has ascended into controlling the tactics.
Using inflammatory comments to get attention seems like a cheap tactic to divert attention from the severe real damage being done here by an oddball economist connected to the WH.

Yes some of us certainly do have a concern, and give our support to our Forum Member who is fighting the good fight. In a way they are fighting for all us all against tyranny. It is shameful that some corporations sell out to the almighty buck and ironically in the process are they themselves controlled by this tyranny.
Great things have small beginnings.
