Filled in a couple. The biplane looks like a Nieuport-Delage NiD.29, which in the overall context of the picture is peculiar as it then is the only Imperial Japanese Air Force aircraft being displayed. The rest are postwar vintage.

Yep, as of right now it's "Fascism Time" over in China and that's never a good time to go visit a country.

"Right now"?

Chinese propaganda? On MY Danbooru?
It's more likely than you think.

Anybody who supports those rioters should have their brain checked. Throwing petrol bombs, destroyimg both public and private property, blocking roads, beating up and attempting to murder people who don't agree with their brand of 'democracy' makes them worse than even the most despotic government today.

Anarchy is not torlerated anywhere. If this were any other country those people would have already faced lethal force from the full might of both law enforcement and the military.

“Attempting” is already wrong. An old man has already died from receiving a brick to the face. They are already murderers

Jackie Chan giving up is a good thing. All he did was producing propaganda for the Chinese government.

The people in Hongkong should deport their so called local government just like those wanted to do with dissidents.

I was in HK for a week-long work trip during the riots at one of their worst flareups. Let's just say that on the day of departure I raced out of the hotel at 9am and grabbed the first hotel shuttle to the airport, even though my flight was at night.

Those rioters have lost all reason and they will do anything to get their way. No way I'm going to take my chances with them threatening to block all airport access.

Has anyone ever stopped to wonder how Kogasa and Sanae can afford to go on so many tours, visits and food trips on their irregular (and probably low, as well) income?

Are they the kind who do not keep savings?

They're also professional artists w who do a, lot of contract work.

Sanae has had years where she couldn't go on trips, being in deadline hell.

Oh please. We are already eating venomous animals like snakes, jellyfishes and puffer fish.

Even venomous plants are somehow detoxified and used in medicine or traditional herbal medicine.

Reader-added tags include "Farther than Space", "Slippery Manjuu", and "Warning: deadly poison". (The last refers to the toxic-fleshed floral egg crab, known in Japanese as the "slippery manjuu crab" (subesubemanjuu-gani).)

Not to mention that even if legit "benevolent dictatorship" existed, it's inherently unsustainable. Even if a dictator is completely well-intentioned, uses his power only make life better for the people he rules and is such a saint that he never gets corrupted by holding absolute power (all dubious propositions to begin with)...he's not going to live forever. So what happens when the new dictator isn't benevolent? It's no different from how the existence of some legitimately great monarchs in history doesn't mean that absolute monarchy was a good system of government. Unchecked power will always be abused eventually, if not by the person holding power now then by somebody else later.

And there are people (read: "population in general") who let it happen (letting dictator to seize power and left him with huge power over them unchecked) in the first place. The most blatant example - North Korea. Despite atrocities and (lack of) well-being there local people are "still love their God-Emperor". Because they are not aware of alternatives.
HK people do not want it happen to them and remind the local government that they still are force to be reckoned with and ready figth for their ways to live.
Here I'd also talk about propaganda, but I think that'll derail topics.

p.s.: Government systems never been inherently bad - they are tools. For different tasks you need different kind of tools. If performing certain task is keeping to fail - you either change tool or the one who handle said tool.

While your examples carry considerable weight in logic, there's one "tiny" detail that outweight your argument: you see, that "benevolent dictatorship" applied to "fully own" sovereign state. China trying to pull that on autonomous state that is doesn't quite "own". I've though about my own examples from other side of globe, but they're while similar, don't have much in common.
HK was and still is mostly autonomous from mainland China with own government and people there liked it that way (even build it as rich as mentioned examples without help from mainland government), but suddenly your highest government people decided to get some profits from much more rich "neighbour" at expense your people's liberties/rights (without asking people first). Your call?
I know well the taste when your government sell you out for short-term "profits" or "well being". Knowing aftertaste of this is enough reason to hate it.
