        Is it though? I really can’t tell.

        Poe’s law has been working overtime recently.

        Edut: saw a comment further down that it is a default deepseek response for censored content, so yeah a joke. People who don’t have that context aren’t going to get the joke.

      In my opinion it should have been the politburo that was pureed under tank tracks and hosed down into the sewers instead of those students.

        It really is so convenient, there are so many CPC members, but they all happen to be near a conveniently placed wall that is more than enough.

        The western narrative about Tiananmen Square is basically orthogonal to the truth?

        Like it’s not just filled with fabricated events like tanks pureeing students, it completely misses the context and response to tell a weird “china bad and does evil stuff cuz they hate freedom” story.

        The other weird part is that the big setpieces of the western narrative, like tank man getting run over by tanks headed to the square are so trivial to debunk, just look at the uncropped video, yet I have yet to see 1 lemmiter actually look at the evidence and develop a more nuanced understanding. I’ve even had them show me compilations of photos from the events and never stop to think “Huh, these pictures of gorily lynched cops, protesters shot in streets outside the square, and burned vehicles aren’t consistent with what I’ve been told, maybe I’ve been mislead?”

      Is this a reference I’m not getting? Otherwise, I feel like censorship of massacre is not moraly acceptable regardless of culture. I’ll leave this here so this doesn’t get mistaken for nationalism:

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_the_United_States

      It’s by no means a comprehensive list, but more of a primer. We do not forget these kinds of things in the hope that we may prevent future occurrences.

      Are we calling the communist party of China and their history of genocide and general evil, some kind of culture now?

      Can’t believe how hostile people are against nazis, we should have respected their cultural use of gas chambers.

        Communism was never the problem, authoritarianism is the problem
