I think this is an excellent time to point out that curl quotes (“ ”) are what are typographically used for quotations and apostrophes and hash marks (" ') are what are used for feet and inches. So it would look something like:

“ 2"× 4' ”

(Spacing is still a bit ugly, I’d kern me some quote marks)

HK was hugely coordinated though. It would be like if not just a campus but the whole city was in on it because they knew they didn't have a choice, and the tactics were more specific to what would work against the CCP, not the US. If it was in another country that wasn't an oppressive autocracy, it would probably have been very effective.

Edit: hey downvote if you want, but tell me something like this doesn't take coordination:

I saw something like this before! It was through yagedan, who does some pretty awesome collage work.
