as freedoms dwindle
More like, as US funding dwindles.

More like "as USAid funding dwindle"

Yes, USAid dried up FFS. It was nothing about democracy but again, regime change or an attempt at that scenario.

I now feel what all those poor Hong Kongers felt a few years back. Seeing this just makes me feel so damn hopeless.

No you don't. Hong Kong was occupied by the British, brutally. You were never occupied, you are the occupier living in an anglo state based on British common law. No one ever force-fed your school children propaganda glorifying your occupier and villifying your fellow countrymen. None of your countrymen ever worked tireless for half a century to ensure the occupier would leave and then worked diligently to give your fellow tortured and estranged brethren a path that allowed you to maintain self-governance even with elements of the occupier's culture just to ensure you felt safe and respected in one country with two systems.
You know nothing about what the Hong Kongers felt, throwing Molotov cocktails and police forces that spent weeks defusing the situation with as little violence as they could manage. You live in an occupier culture where your police literally itch for the opportunity to crack the skulls of hippies, liberals, blacks, Muslims, and anyone else they think is beneath them
You have no idea what you're talking about and even less of an idea of what the Hong Kongers are talking about. If you really cared about them, you would research their history and understand what they've been through. Instead, you just read your domestic propaganda that villifies one group and glorifies another group of the same peoples continuing the terrible legacy of the British occupation, but you don't care about that.

I'm guessing pro "democracy" just means pro-liberalism and pro-US in this case?
Always has been
It means pro-Western empire. Hong Kong was occupied by Britain and only developed a "pro-democracy/anti-China" movement when the British decided to develop it as a leave-behind spoiler when they realized they had no legal basis to extend their lease of the island past 1999
But they did extend the lease for fifty years didn't they? With the one-country, two systems treaty, they extended the lease for 50 years while adding the rest of Hong Kong that wasn't under lease, but owned by the UK.
I would suppose it's pro independence / sovereignty, but that's generally a no-no topic
Sovereignty is British occupation
