[Speech is never free in a place under authoritarian rule] 1/ My just-released book, #UnfreeSpeech was part of my contemplation when I was in jail. Speech is never free, especially when you face imprisonment & deprivation of your rights for defying unjust laws and orders.

[The most fearful thing is not being put into jail but that ordinary life may one day look like prison if none of our generation dares to stand up for our civil liberties] 1/ Even though the imprisonment meant a lot to me, I did not shed tears or have any strong sense of fear.

3/ Without effective checks and balances, the police can arbitrarily abuse their power and torture citizens without consequences. Working with the police, mobs can just walk away after attacking pregnant ladies.
406
2/ Rather than being brave, I viewed my imprisonment as the necessary step for the whole society to embrace the cruel fact that the city’s freedom is on shaky ground. This feeling grows stronger, especially after police brutality has become ubiquitous.
407
4/ Worse still, our Gov can be unanswerable to the demands of 25% of its population & keep repeating lies. What is fearful is when abnormality becomes normal and people get used to this Chinese-style “new normal.” Hence, our fight must continue so justice does not lose its shine.

1/ While many have turned to social media campaigns and online petitions to make their voices heard, other less obvious platforms have also risen to the fore as means of protest, including, Joshua Wong said, the Nintendo game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. newsweek.com/coronavirus-ag…

Oh no, Xi Jinping banned #AnimalCrossing in China (apparently because I play it), and these angry gamers are blaming me everywhere instead of blaming their own government lol 🤨🎮🎮

This is what we do in #AnimalCrossing... maybe it’s why these people are so anxious to go back to the game!!

[HK Gamers Protested Inside ‘Animal Crossing.’ Now China Wants to Ban It.] Joshua was among the first to show how this could be done, posting a screenshot of his island, which he decorated with a banner saying: “Free Hong Kong, revolution now.” vice.com/en_us/article/…

Now that they can't protest in the streets, people are doing it inside the hit social simulation game. “For lots of people around the world who play this game, they have to put their ideal life into the game, and for HKers, we have to put our protest sites inside the game”
421
Alright, now they are flocking to #AnimalCrossing and promoting Chinese propaganda there to “challenge” me... Do they really not see the irony!? twitter.com/yinyangren21/s…

From my live-streaming of the game just now with my friend William Liu. (He’s much better than I.) Feel free to rewatch it in full on @demosisto’s YouTube channel 👆
