"Revolutionaries" is a revered term of American history.
China will show video of this and claim the Hong Kong police are less violent and the US is doing the same thing to its dissidents.
(So this will hurt the cause of liberty in Hong Kong. But I doubt the lefties care about that, or free speech, anyway).
A revolution in general is a neutral term. It can be for good, like the American Revolution. It can be for evil, like the Bolshevik Revolution. It can lead to madness, like the French Revolution.
Those supporting the American Revolution were called "Patriots", not Revolutionaries. The Leftists in this country are Revolutionaries, but none of them are Patriots.
I agree. “Revolving” implies going back to where one started, as a wheel revolves. We DO need a revolution BACK to what this country was founded to be.
Fascists become fascists and call themselves anti-fascists, how ironic.
