Yep this sounds to me like one of those 'on the street' comedy segments where they ask randos to find Nebraska on a map and no one can. No one is hiding info about Nebraska from the public, everyone is just dumb.
Probably the same thing in china, they just sleept through history class
literally any kind of vaguely maybe truish no-context factoid about the Soviet Union China: this is evidence that they are a failed state, or that they are up to no good.
In particular also because there was never a massacre in the square so its not something you would learn, by comparison a city wide unrest is still a significant historical event but not something everyone is guaranteed to know.
Id wager a lot of Americans wouldnt know about like, the LA Riots or whatever, not to mention actual massacres further back in the US's past.
The only time I bring it up is when libs try to tell me the problem with government violence is only at the local level and argue for a nationalized police force.
Not only have they not heard of it, but the ones who have unironically think it was based. I remember seeing a poll taken after it happened and most people were in favor of it lmao
most amerisharts haven't heard of the kent state massacre either, so it doesn't surprise me

No one remembers the anti-globalization protests of the 90s and that was like 20 years ago. Tiananmen was what, 30 years ago?
My favorite is Ruby Ridge, people look at me like I'm a conspiracy nut when ever I bring it up.
It's a favorite of the right wing. I'd avoid bringing it up in the future.
