Hong Kong bans masks at protests - western exceptionalism

There are so many videos of Hong Kong protestors violently attacking anyone who disagrees with them. It seems that they hate mainlanders, and are blaming them for the hardships caused by neoliberalism, just as many downtrodden westerners are manipulated into blaming immigrants, Muslims, Jews, etc.

Following this violence, the Hong Kong government has now banned face masks at protests. 

Many western countries have laws banning masks at protests. But, according to much of the western media, it is suddenly a tyrannical move when it happens in Hong Kong?!


And, Hong Kong is just reinstating a law that was one of many repressive laws imposed during the British colonial era, that many of the protestors seem so eager to return to!
