US News

MOVE bombing, assassination of Fred Hampton, Kent State shooting, and the Tulsa Massacre, just to name a few. That's all stuff done only within the last century or so and only the stuff done on US soil.

Sometimes the sinophobia machine paints the June fourth event as a brutal quashing of a student protest, which is like maybe a smidgeon of the truth in that there were students there, and well... the US has got that right at home, from recent ceasefire campus protests to Kent State 1970.

However regarding 6-4, I must point out that many prominent student leaders were very much not gunned down. Many of them (along with other dissidents) smuggled out of PRC by Operation Yellowbird; CIA and MI6 already had a network in place as they were aiding students in organizing protests, so were able to react quickly when China announced arrest warrants. Like, these student leaders didn't die, they went on to get (or were honorarily awarded) degrees from prestigious universities. They're still alive today, thriving even. (except for one guy who wants to go back to China, even tried to turn himself in, nope. Dude's got a whooole interesting entanglement in dissident activities, but then again many of the other beneficiaries of Op Yellowbird do as well)

I've been reading An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States for Young People to my kiddo, and it's just incredible how persistent, systematic, and brutal the settlers were to the Indigenous. I plan on posting them later, but there are direct quotes from Washington and even Jefferson explicitly calling for the eradication of the Indigenous.

Is there anyone else in history as systematically ruthless as the capitalist West? Not sure if even the Vikings or Mongols can compare.

I love to explain to libs how the Tank Man in the famous video was stopping tanks from driving away from the square, and his gestures suggest he was telling the crew to drive back to the square and clear out the protestors.

Also how the "oppressive massacring" Chinese soldiers were willing to talk with him for quite a while and did not drive over him, as they had supposingly driven over all those protesters afterwards.

Meanwhile, in the US, police are using police cars to drive into protesters without consequence.

I've always found it funny how westerners tend to be utterly ignorant regarding the atrocities that the west commits. Really shows just how effective censorship here is in practice.
