    Why is it that you say these falsehoods here in this forum but on the other social media you complain about the Chinese state and you push for democracy in China? Where are the photographs that you said you have of the Tiananmen Square massacre?

      There’s video footage of tanks leaving the square and trying their hardest not to run over “tank man” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeFzeNAHEhU

      Also there’s a PBS Frontline Documentary that, albeit having a western slant, is telling vastly different story than what gets regurgitated on Reddit and other parts of lemmy

        Western news is about vibes and clicks, not accurate reporting.

        Tank man provided a good photo, but the video that shows him getting dragged away by other protestors doesn’t tell the same story.

      Let me guess, in 2002 you were calling anyone who didn’t believe Iraq had WMDs a “Saddam lover”.
