Police lined up at the bridge in formation. Youtube, Facebook and Twitter are coordinating to nuke all livestreams from people on the ground, aggressively censoring journalists and citizens reporting what's going on. Pretty much every livestream that gets posted shows up as ended abruptly a few minutes ago, looks like they're manually searching for them and nuking them one by one. Only ones left up are approved news channels with helicopters in the air or reporting from far away on the ground. So yeah, this totally isn't chicom tactics or anything. Time for the authoritarian government taking its authoritarian response to every crisis to crush this protest the only way authoritarians know how.

“that while colonization, with its techniques and its political and juridical weapons, obviously transported European models to other continents, it also had a considerable boomerang effect on the mechanisms of power in the West, and on the apparatuses, institutions, and techniques of power. A whole series of colonial models was brought back to the West, and the result was that the West could practice something resembling colonization, or an internal colonialism, on itself”
