Imho this is an entirely valid view to have.
The military being used the crush a protest doesn't sit right with me either, regardless of who's doing it and whether or not people died.
That said, I do not buy the western™ narrative on Tiananmen Square in the slightest.
This person should watch The Gate of Heavenly Peace, and honestly a lot of Hexbears probably need to see it too.
It's not that the documentary is "correct" in everything that it says, but it's thorough at over 3 hours long, and had plenty of criticism from "both sides" (yeah, I'm an enlightened centrist :D)
Agreed, Im sure there are cases where its appropriate, but I don't know where that line is and it should be avoided altogether whenever possible
what makes it tough is that we live in a world with the USA and the CIA who can and will get up to some bullshit
