Was just watching “60 Minutes” (not my choice.)
In a story on the Hong Kong protests, they interviewed a dissident newspaper publisher.
I thought the exchange perfectly exemplified the elitist mindset.
When asked why residents were defying Beijing, he responded “because if we don’t, we stand to lose everything”
“Everything?”
“Yes, our freedom.”
“Freedom is everything?”
“Yes, without freedom, we have nothing.”
“You still have a beautiful city”.
Seriously?
