Negative Space: Role-Aids

Soon-to-be dissidents in Hong Kong should be armed with better than axes, hammers, pokers, or a useless piece of paper inscribed with forgotten rights. If China is honest in its claims that it will not infringe Hong Kong rights, such firearms would gather dust beneath the floorboards and behind the walls of Hong Kong apartments. If, on the other hand, Chinese police begin knocking house to house, the next Alexander Solzhenitsyn might not “pale in terror at every bang of the downstairs door”. — Jerry Stratton (What can we do about Hong Kong?)
