I love Vice, they always cover topics with little to no shame on what it is they're covering, and always at least seem to try and give a somewhat unbiased and objective opinion on whatever's going down.
To me this personifies The Divide here in current times. At some point this is going to go really bad for the protesters. Not at all unlike what happens when the WJF finally decides that they've had enough.
Hong Kong is a rather bleak illustration of the delay of generational cause and effect, a flashpoint of civil strife over political decisions made before many of the protestors were even born, by people who are, in many cases, all now dead.
Also that triune phone camera just looks dystopian.
