The protests lasted over a month; the massacre ended them in a flood of state-sponsored murder.

Nice try China man. You can’t erase history.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can call out a tankie without using "china man". That is an outdated term and is considered a deogratory word. Not all Chinese people are pro-ccp.

Absolute nonsense.

Funny, just yesterday I had an .ml insisting to me that the protests ended peacefully and that any hint of violence is western propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

These are disproved very fast by the fact that the chinese government doesnt want you to talk about it. Governments dont usually create whole censor campaigns around things that never happened. And before you say us this and us that, the us is also trying to cober things up and we also know a lot of those things because they get leaked. Talking about the us is a classic tankie move because it diverts your attention from the actual thing you were talking about, china. Just move to europe if you can and help in making a place that isnt an absolute shithole because sadly, currently europe is getting really close to that status.

….and a picture of it not happening proves it did?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't know if you know this but there's a link in the post to a Wikipedia article about it, with sources at the bottom

The working class threatened the elite's power.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Tale as old as time

True as it can be

Never even friends

Then somebody bends

Unsurprisingly

Just a little change

Smallest in the least

All a little scared

No one was prepared

Working v Elite

Post about China.

4 comments about China.

6 comments about the US.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I mean, given the climate, feels a little prophetic about where the US is heading.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Just make a new post then. It wasn't even an equivalent comparison. They could have used an image of the Bonus Army or an artist's impression of the Whiskey Rebellion.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not justifying it, just explaining a possible reason. I don't really care either way

What protest? There was no protest. That was clearly a popular demonstration of support for glorious leader. You lose 85,000 social credit!!

Americans in the USA, before it became a dictatorship

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

It looks silly not cropped.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Actual depiction of Americans before it became a dictatorship…

Nice horses.

Is there any rationale behind posting this comment outside if you possibly being compulsively fatphobic?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I have nothing against overweight or obesity. People can do whatever they want with their body. The fact though is, that it is a characteristic of the US population.

Never seen Mt Rushmore? from this angle before and oh man those heads are so gaudy (not sure if the right term). Like the hubris to ruin nature with faces like this.

But after an ethnic cleansing and defacing of a sacred native landmark.

This might get even worse!

Good, let it be a warning for future generations.

Could become the world's most famous shooting range in the future

Once he meets the same fate as all dictators, that thing will be dynamited to rubble.

Have always been curious what happened to those two dancing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Ground up into paste and scraped off the ground.

Same. Every time I see it, I think about that
