npub17883e4e53zt45f8sc52fprjwqaheppyr7yln4p30drp9xd36ge3snw9nku (npub1788…9nku) I would agree with you that western democracies are often not that democratic. But to think that Hong Kong is in some kind of better state is naive.
The documentary said that big protests (>1m) are unlikely today. People are scared. People are leaving.
A police state has other ways of repressing people than breaking up protests. Think McCarthyism! The Chinese communists employ these techniques big time.
