He must be new to the job. You just hit both buttons and see what sticks.

They try to feel out what would annoy you more.

"It didn't happen, but if it did, it was totally justified"

Similar to the neo-nazi line: "The Holocaust never happened...but it should have!"

Tbh when I was younger and more impressionable.. Neo Nazis pretending to just be conspiracy theorists and metaphysical truth seekers told me about how some things "Really don't add up" about the "official story" and there's no harm in "just asking questions"

And I might have bought into it, but they were too quick to follow it up with some shit about how Jews "would have deserved it"

Idiots shouldn't have shown their hand until I folded.

Good thing I'm smart and Nazis are dumb

The CIA was driving the tanks.

The CCP is actually run by the CIA, therefore, any wrongdoings is Amerikkka's fault.

Checkmate, Westerners! 🤓

From what I read (yes I actually read the walls of text they post) the two weren't exclusive. There were violent protestors during that time, and the protests in the square were minor, nonviolent, and opposed by dispersion via an announcement rather than tanks.

I'm not sure if I believe all that, but it's better to know what they're actually saying, imo

The irony of being a tankie and pretending the tanks weren't there at one of the more notable moments of the CCP's existence.

Jesus, I didn't realize people had this opinion.

Lemmy instances deciding whether to be infested with Nazis or be infested with tankies.
