Yes, these kids + Hong Kongers have freedom, not possessed by Mainland Chinese. (Not going to
discuss with you "whether they have enough freedom".)
They want the SECURITY OF KNOWING they won't be undue repercussions, after voicing anti-gov't
sentiments; that the Hong Kong Politicians, will GENUINELY FIRST + FOREMOST, MAINTAIN THE
INTEGRITY OF HK, + NOT BE JUST A LACKEY FOR BEIJING; that their distinctive local culture,
will not be banned + rendered obsolete by Beijing.(e.g.- Cantonese is frown upon by the central gov't,
EVEN IN GUANGZHOU.[ I personally don't care for the HYPOCRITICAL BRITISH IMPRINT, DURING THEIR
99 YRS OF OCCUPATION]); etc.
I think these kids, people in the 1M + 2M Marches, are afraid that what present liberties they have,
ARE GRADUALLY BEING ERODED, going toward 2047; and the Extradition Bill is a blatant example
of this.

ABSOLUTELY NO !!!
I don't mean to be condescending, but I want to restate that, I think a MAIN FEAR of the protests is, LOSING WHAT LIBERTIES
THEY HAVE NOW, NOT SO THEY CAN ATTAIN A HIGHER STANDARD OF LIVING.
I know the housing problem, gross income disparity, + even the triads, DID NOT COME FROM BEIJING, but unfortunately,
a result of HK's own HYER-CAPITALISM. Even if these kids don't know this, I would think, some of their parents would have
knowledge of this. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT a better life only come after HARD WORK, + often one has to WORK HARDER
Than Their WHITE COUNTERPART.
I know Hollywood is RACIST + RARELY PRODUCE QUALITY FILMS; ironically the Chinese Audience love their garbage films.

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING, BY USING CAPITAL LETTERS
YOU ARE THE ONE, THAT SHOULD EDUCATE YOURSELF; IT IS NOT "SENSOR", BUT RATHER "CENSOR".
YOU DID NOT "JUST DISAGREE WITH ME."
YOU WROTE, "Stop using the word plz, you are disgracing it." THIS IS AN ACCUSATION !!!
THE PROBLEM IS, YOU WANT YOUR BRAIN CELLS TO "RIP".
AND WITH YOUR DEAD BRAIN CELLS, YOU DID NOT REMEMBER WHAT YOU WROTE, OR CAN YOU THINK CLEARLY.
IF YOUR BRAIN CELLS WERE FUNCTIONING, YOU COULD HAVE, EASILY REFERRED BACK
TO YOUR INITIAL POST - BUT THIS WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO; NOT YOUR MO.
