The masquerade is not only in defiance of the AntiMaskLaw but also against the invocation of the EmergencyRegulationsOrdinance which gives CarrieLam an authoritarian power to further demolish our freedom.

And yes, hk youth like pepethefrog

Xi-nnie the Pooh!

We could see a lot of Winnie the Pooh yesterday in HongKong.

Careful with the Winnie the Pooh masks. Mr. Xi “bears” a striking resemblance to Pooh and some years ago he banned images in China of the story book character. Those masks could well be the single provocation that ignites a Chinese military assault. Utterly ironic.

Sorry, when I see Pepe now I think of Alt-Right and Donald Trump supporters on 4-chan.

Nice to see the 🇭🇰 arm of gas mask gang reppin, the mardi gras style masks too 😂

Looking forward to the emergence of Hong Kong-style protesters in the United States, we also support such protesters.

I thought Pepe was a skunk

Those last two aren't the best choices honestly

These protesters have gone full 4 Chan.

Oh la la.

I don't think that is pro-democracy protest movement ,Apparently this is riots,please don't so double standards,okay

That Pepe the frog mask is horrifying. Several of those masks are high grade, unleaded nightmare fuel.

I can't imagine what it would be like to be governed by a leader whose ego is so fragile that he bans Winnie the Pooh because someone said there was a resemblance. Oh wait....

These are not the makings of a successful revolution.

I feel Winnie the Pooh is the best. Nothing irritates Xi more than Pooh. It's even banned in China.

Commies fear clowns!

Should give a Tigger Warning to all those anti-HK folks scrolling by

I fucking guess man

Hong Kong assembly in chaos; attack on democracy leader a 'chilling signal'Pro-democracy lawmakers halt Chief Executive Carrie Lam’s attempt to address Hong Kong’s Legislative Council for the second consecutive day It looks like Hong Kong will be self governed & there's nothing that China will be able to do except watch from a distance. Carrie Lam is the most hated person in HK now, as far as I know. Perhaps she should resign. again with the pro-democracy LOL nothing is pro-democracy from these 4 months of terrorism.
