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.
I'm not moving the goalposts here, but again I never brought up TS
I was going to go reread your original comment, but I couldn't find it, LMAO.
What? Just scroll up in the thread. Simple as.
I can't, only 2 comments are on the screen. I can only go to the full comment thread.
