Leo Tang has been arrested in Hong Kong for clapping in a court hearing. He’s accused not of contempt of court, but SEDITION.
From a legal standpoint, I really can’t overstate how insane this is, even by the typically bonkers standards of the national security police.

2/Also notable: in the hours since this piece was published, the natl security police have yet again trumped themselves by arresting HKers who merely clapped in a courtroom & accusing them of subversion. It seems speech, claps, gestures, grunts, eye rolls are now off limits.

There is no such thing as "the poor". There is the dispossessed, the exploited, and the dehumanized.
In other news, cities in China get no electricity in the middle of winter. Wow. nytimes.com/2020/12/26/busin…
Maybe the single most useful tool to control the spread of coronavirus: public shaming. The rise in disdain and judgment passed as people dissect the latest wave of cases in HK is impressively effective.

Great overview of how globalization causes harm to communities

The richest 5% capture 46% of total global GDP. That means nearly half of all the resources we use, and half of all the emissions we emit, is done in order to make rich people richer. In what world does this make *any* ecological sense? jasonhickel.org/blog/2020/10…
