    Yeah, sure

    I can hit you with even more gruesome photos, but probably shouldn’t post gore in a random thread.

    only a few hundred died, generally scattered around the areas and did include soldiers, but that’s a huge fucking number. And ultimately my point is around china’s iron fist information control of that whole month.

    There’s always someone saying “it wasn’t really a thing”, but being so blind to the fact that hundreds of people dying is very much a thing.

    Also you didn’t address the two main topics I raised in my comment. This isn’t just about tienamen square but it’s telling that you jumped to that

      China was putting down a violent strike. Afaik, the workers started the violence. Which is not to say I at all support China’s response,but it’s not at all what US media claimed. The only guns being used were by the workers, for one thing. I commented on TS because that’s the part I knew most about, I’m not going to spend an hour typing up a detailed response to everything people write.
