This is so sinophobic! Dont you know that never happened and if it did it was because of America and capitalism.

Its not serious. I’m just poking fun at the tankies who would defend the event by claiming it didnt happen then say but if it did happen america was behind it.

probably referring to this I didn’t check the sources myself but this does feel very convincing especially with the longer tank man video which doesn’t fit the narrative I always hear for the picture

I can’t believe the mods and admins allow such a racist meme to stay up.
Ralph being yellow while talking about the Chinese with the red seats is more than just a dog whistle.

I do think that you’ll eventually be held up there with the likes of Ken M. for your contributions to the art of classical trolling.

.world lemmitors living in western countries on the verge of fascism really be shaking to post anticommunist CIA propaganda on their favourite day of the year

Tankies unable to fathom that you can be critical of both fascism and the authoritarian state capitalism which is China.

Being critical of the communist state which relieved 800 million people from extreme poverty over the suppression of a western-sponsored color revolution while fascism disintegrates the EU and US

This is why I find this stuff so bewildering, even Wikipedia says no one died in the square. It was hectic around Mudixi, with buses of soldiers being torched and the burnted bodies being strung up. People there were absolutely shot at and killed.
It was an insane week with a lot happening, many different groups with their own motives, and so many details unclear. It’s weird that anti China rhetoric insists on something that didn’t happen, pushing a false narrative that’s so easy to dispell and distracts from the real violence and politics of the time.

While I agree that it is not known, saying that it’s the Tiananmen Square massacre is a relatively harmless simplification, as there were dead people nearby and they originally were there.

For me wikipedia says that at least a few hundred died, can you show me where wikipedia said no one died?

Soldiers are legitimate targets btw.

Most people were killed when the tanks were on their way towards the square and not in it. So the student would have technically already been dead before it reached Tiananman
