how many protests have been violently broken up by pigs in america since this happened in china 3 decades ago? ameridumbs don’t even question why they’re thinking about some made up 35 year old propaganda rather than any of the hundreds of protests in the US since that date, which has seen how many of their fellow citizens brutalized if not killed?
reminder: the dude who was standing in front of the tank literally climbed on top of it, opened it, talked to the soldiers, closed it, and walked away. he was not run over.
death to amerikkka
and of course all the comments are “lol im a rednote user so i dont know what this is lol because those evil chinese are liars lol get the joke??? i said i dont know what this is lol isnt that so funny?”
That China's version of events is most accurate. Not the western fantasy story of a bunch of unarmed peaceful students being the subject of a mass shooting in the square.
Protesters burned 2 unarmed police negotiators alive. This provoked the clearing of the square, and it was after the clearing of the square and over the course of several hours that battles between the PLA and armed participants resulted in the deaths of some 300-400 people in surrounding streets over an area of many miles, many hundreds of the dead being PLA themselves.
I will not post the dead police negotiators, the imagery is GRUESOME, you are welcome to confirm that though.
You're not wrong, there were huge mistakes that day. But it is an illustration of just how much the PLA did not want to harm people which flies in the face of the boogeyman story of a massacre of unarmed students popular in the west.
The correct story is something you will see us raise again and again, the lie of a massacre of innocents at the square is absolute nonsense. We combat this lie because when people wake up to a lie like this, one that is VERY easy to prove, people start to wake up about what other propaganda exists in their lives. You are not immune to propaganda (and neither is anyone here), opening this mindset up pulls people leftwards away from the liberals.
You'll come across a lot of "the tankies claim nothing happened at Tienanmen", and upon realising that actually our position on this is fairly measured you might also question how much you've been misled about what other views we have, which are also quite measured and not baseless.
