That is the thing, they are not only denying that they did it, they're denying that it even happened. Or at least, it wasn't catastrophic. It's one thing to disagree with who bombed a hospital, but the fact that people can't agree on whether or not a hospital was bombed is wild to me, in the age of live video. Now I'm particular to thinking the hospital was bombed and Israel did it, but honestly what the fuck do I know? People seem confident here, but personally this fog of war bullshit is the most unsettling thing I've experienced in a while. Same as the early days of Ukraine
Remember when Hong Kong was winning over China and doing extremely well in a fight for independence?
I asked some people actually FROM HONG KONG and they said it's all bullshit and no one even wanted to fight there.
That was the moment I lost my trust in Western reporting...
Lol I remember seeing some story about "the students are using bows and arrows to fight the cops just like in hunger games
"
In America the police would kill 100 people if this happened.
Yeah I took a hardline stance of "any western media reporting on Hong Kong is lying by default and I must investigate" when I saw that video of the middle-aged guy calmly talking to the protestors and they surprised him from behind by dumping gas on him and lighting him on fire.
If somebody did that to an American or a cop on video, the police would be dropping bombs from helicopters on houses they suspect hide protestors
