    Americans call the Boston massacre and only 6 people died, just saying that on the level of supposedly horrific state violence that should never be forgotten, so you have any idea how many massacres of the same and larger scale the United States has perpetrated just in the last 30 years?

      According to the Chinese Communist Party around 200-300 civilians died, and several thousands were injured. According to most other agencies, the numbers are around 10 times higher, with 1000 to 3000 dead. Either way, it's a very high number of dead.

      Or is this not a massacre? By the way, two wrongs don't make a right

        You don’t give a fuck about the wrongdoings of any country but the ones you were told are “enemies”

        Cops in the US murder thousands of people every year, bet you don’t even spare a thought for it, is my point

        State violence only bad when it’s not my state

          *State violence is only bad when my ruling class tells me it is

          I do care about wrongdoings of any country. The issues with police violence, racial discrimination and gun violence in the US are not a secret. You are not the first one talking about that. Everyone in the west talks about that, it's now the first thing most people think of when talking about the US in the west.

          That being said, I don't understand why, when anyone even tries to say "China bad" the answer is always "but America is also bad". Why does that make it right?

            because we're in a contrived thread that twists over backwards to shit on china, not a thread about the legitimate issues with china. Its frustrating to see, even when I agree that china is pretty bad in a lot of ways, seeing that drumbeat of "enemy state bad" as an army of mindless brainwashed western redditors marches by throwing out half truths and outright lies (its almost never real criticisms, like with north korea its just miles long lists of shit westerners were taught to think like its illegal to not have the kim haircut) it just makes my head pop

              Do that every morning. But then I remember that my government is not bombing hospitals or operating concentration camps...

              Now, try to criticize China, unless you think it's perfect, in which case, oh boy...

                  Even if I were, which I'm not, you are talking about events that happened 80 years ago and never again since. The USSR did it for far longer (Gulags) and China is still operating concentration camps.

        All the organizers, though, are living cushy rich lives in Taiwan and the USA now

        Wonder whose head those deaths are on? It's not like you can legally go around impaling soldiers to buses and stealing apcs and tanks in any country
