    white folks. whew. you colonize a place, force people into your language and customs, exploit their labor & resources. deny them self-determination, leave them in a geopolitical trap. then when some demand—however naively—rights like yours: turn your back on them, smear them.pic.twitter.com/vLpjqSNE7X

        Woke imperialism in extremely in vogue. Petit bourgeois NYC writers who worked for CNN Style want you to know, if you oppose US-funded right-wing anti-Chinese rioters who wave US/UK flags and want to revive British colonialism, YOU are the colonialist onehttps://thegrayzone.com/2019/08/17/hong-kong-protest-washington-nativism-violence/ …

        I'm truly honored to see former CNN Style reporter, and author of hard-hitting political investigative pieces like this, @WilfredChan smearing me as a colonialist for... opposing US/UK neocolonialism Don't forget, the CIA's position is always the woke onehttps://www.cnn.com/2015/07/22/entertainment/nicki-minaj-taylor-swft/index.html …

        i'm sorry paul. it's not meant to antagonize you, but points to histories of violence & the hierarchies/systems of power they created that still govern how we move through today's world. it affects me very much & in order to 'do better than this' we have to keep talking about it.

        Not at all. I follow your commentary and everything going on in Hong Kong closely. Just didn’t feel such a pejorative description was warranted. Like you, I hate to be pigeon-holed.

        I see Norton has decided to help both the Syrian and CCP regime. Why am I unsurprised?
