Could be worse, they could be flying Union Jacks.

No one was ever protesting the flag.

If people are still this tone deaf it’s no surprise they believe the load of crap constantly spewing from the White House like a broken sewer main. The biggest thing that the rise of the authoritarian right has shown me is just how many people either don’t care to look at the truth or just plain don’t want to.
No other flag, represents the notion of freedom and standing up to tyrants...well except maybe the original Betsy Ross flag, than the American flag!

They should have consulted with Colin Kaepernick first; now they’ve lost all credibility with American leftists. What were they thinking?! There’s even a video of a protester singing the Star-Spangled Banner. Why ever would they associate our flag and national anthem with freedom and liberty?
It should seem obvious to anyone...its called hoping for support from the USA.

Then why did Kapernick say he was, and explicitly said so? The problem is the media you consume lied to you. But at this point you should know they are.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,"
It was in fact a protest of the flag. He went even further and demanded Nike not use the Betsy Ross flag because it too is evil. It was always about the flag.
But yeah, I personally stand with Hong Kong's people, not neccesarily their government
