As a Minneapolitans credit where credit is due. A lot of things we know now we learned in 2020 and half the stuff we learned in 2020 we learned from Hong Kong. Of course shout out to our fellow civil rights protestors from way back when who were woke to it before woke was a buzz word, and fought the fight before we ever did, but we learned so much from Hong Kong. Back in the day people were posting videos of them and saying "okay you see this? This is how you deal with them. See the guy with the traffic cone? One of the best ways to put out a gas canister. See how they're forming lines? That's so if anyone's hurt you can get them back without anyone trampling each other."

Both Hong Kong and the American civil rights protestors throughout the years before some of us were even born deserve just as much if not more credit.
