it’s more than simple bias, larry sanger knows that and i suspect that you do as well.

It is routinely claimed that the ‘tankman’ was killed by the tank right after the clip that is usually shown ends. The full video shows that he left along with others who convinced him to leave. You might not be making that claim, but that was what the anti-chinese propaganda claimed for decades.
The burden of proof is on you to demonstrate that the massacre in fact happened. What exists in video form is a man standing in front of a tank and then NOT being killed. Despite many many lies sugfesting otherwise. It seems like you don’t participate in that particular lie, while still uncritically accepting the rest of the narrative. Perhaps if one major detail of the story is false other details of the story are also false? i guess we’ll just have to trust that the same three-letter agencies who have every reason and motive to undermine chinese sovereignty are in this particular case trustworthy.
I mention the burning to death of unarmed police to illustrate to you which side was the more violent and unrestrained. Violence which is characteristic of foreign regime-change operations and hybrid warfare.
I want to defund the police and reform the organisation to serve the people, there’s enough room within this worldview to not be burning cops alive (and i must stress again that the were not armed with lethal force).
You say that you aren’t a normie but then uncritically accept an obviously distorted version of history which has been constructed to serve western imperial interests.
Maybe you’re an operator who does actually know the truth but lies about it professionally. In that case i’m sorry for inaccurately describing you as a normie, when really you would be a glowie.
but just in case you are actually just a normie in denial here’s a thing to read

So if you’ve watched the full ‘tankman’ footage you would know that he wasn’t killed by a tank or by anything else in that video. You can believe decades and decades of breathless propaganda coming directly out of the NED and the other usual characters, or you believe your own lying eyes.
It’s sufficient to assume that if this one important image was essentially a lie, then many other aspects of the story are manufactured. For example did you know that many dozens of police officers (who were unarmed) were burnt to death by the student protestors? did you know that the leaders of the student protests were coordinating with and were paid by western intelligence agencies?
I might be a tankie, but you are a normie.

how about one of the original creators of wikipedia no longer using his own software and encouraging everyone to also not use it? he claims that the cia have been using it as a tool of information warfare since 2003?
I will admit that for shallow questions like ‘did this thing happen in this year’? wikipedia can sometimes be more useful than a plain search engine, also sometimes from wikipedia you can find links to real sources which can also be useful.

- Comment on "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens 2 days ago:
the ‘no domestic surveillance’ is just language that mirrors some limitations (from their pov) from the patriot act. They’re still willing to surveil people outside the USA, and in fact all they have to do is route domestic traffic through an international part of a network and they can legally spy on domestic americans which is what already happens.

Not super fair to compare a constitutional republic like the russian federation to an american vassal like australia. They don’t have zionists writing their social media laws to pick jist one example of australians not deciding what happens in australia.

china already have a supercritical carbon dioxide system integrated into a functioning powergrid and operating commercially. The system exploits an exotic phase of co2 which expands to fill a volume like gas, but moves frictionlessly through tubes as a liquid. Their are concerns about lifespan because of how caustic the system is, but apparently some new materials are being trialled which negate this.

- Comment on Buttcoin 4 weeks ago:
the early plan for btc was to break the spine of central banking cartels and to eventually threaten the reserve status of the greenback. 2008 was still fresh in our minds, and back then it was fashionable to blame fiat currency and the pratcise of fractional reserve lending. The original ‘zeitgeist’ movie was a big influence on the whole scene.
Eventually people began to figure out that btc was most likely a vehicle for oligarchs and elites to shelter their assets from the next financial crash which killed the libertarian enthusiasm for the project. Now btc is exclusively for tech-bros and other finance-adjacent types just trying to personally enrich themselves.

It was an almost perfect medium for sharing cooking videos and recipes, can anyone suggest a replacement?
Don’t worry I’ve already uninstalled it (months ago when Ellison bought a majority stake) but I haven’t found a replacement short-form video platform for recipes yet
