Description
This book is the story of radicalised youths and students on rampage. It is about why and how in 2019, Hong Kong came to be besieged and held hostage by a massive mob violence and mindless vandalism in the name of freedom and democracy.
It is the story of face-masked, respirator-fitted, head-helmeted and ninja-like blackclad youths and students who believe they have the right to be angry enough to start a "revolution". It is about why these protesters feel justified to vandalise and burn public and private properties to support their demands for freedom and democracy. It is about the power of irrational anger and hatred.
It is about the cynical use of violent mass protests and severe disruption of economic and social activities to force authorities to accept fantastical political demands. It is about threatening bloodshed and total chaos to paralyse and topple government.
It is also about the new urban warfare brought to everybody's living room by the ubiquitous TV cameras and photojournalists.
The book looks into the intriguing psychological basis of this crisis in Hong Kong and how it is likely to pan out.
On the global stage, the book noted that the world is entering a new period of violent history with frequent bloody mass protests and violence. The book discusses how only a global perspective of human survival and human conditions can prevent humankind from going from a calamitous self-centred obsession to a certain self-inflicted extinction.
