It's like I've started saying, "Tankie is when the leftist does stuff, and it's more tankie the more stuff it does, and if it does a real lotta stuff, it's redfash"
Also fucking "refute Tiananmen 1989"
I know I shouldn't be prescriptive, because some people do use "refute" to mean "deny" and I understand what this person is trying to say and that's what matters, but it's still like... Pretty funny for someone to use a word whose more accepted definition is "to prove false", and calling that a bad thing.
Maybe I should publish my source summary for Tiananmen. It's kinda damning for how much hot air has been wasted on it.
You might as well.
It will be a whole afternoon to stitch into something readable. Probably under something like "Baby's First Critical Source Reading: Tiananmen Square '89".
I do need to fire off an email to an old journalist here who was there! (and largely corroborates my reading).
