Emphasis mine.
That is such a salient point.
Hey tankies, how do you spin this?
Not a Tankie, but they would point out there was no actual massacre and that it was relatively peaceful in the square itself. Of course there were thousands that died around the square at different times leading up to it.
Then they would say these were agitators paid or organized by western sources like the CIA to cause problems. Not dissatisfied citizens who were snuffed out by the ruling party.
You see the Chinese government was nothing more than murderous assholes all along and have the blood of tens of millions of their citizens on their hands and they are not afraid to lock up and disappear anyone who brings this up.
The Tiananmen Square massacre never happened, and that's why they're not allowed to talk about it. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
Tankies will say the inevitable and predictable line about how we all just believe western propaganda, and that this never happened. And the propaganda that they listen to is always correct about China. It's how they always spin this.
It would be a lot less annoying if they weren’t constantly stifling discussion around it to the point that I’ve literally never even seen a single person defend the position and instead just say the line that you just said like it’s all the defense they need and then ban people.
the "those were crisis actors" of "left"ists
Well of course their propaganda is always correct about China. It comes from the Chinese government. Just like everything the US government puts out is correct. Always trust the state kids. The state never lies, and never abuses is power. Very /s
Also something something color revolution
Something something anglosphere and other braindead mutterings
"no students were harmed. The armed rioters outside the square were killed in combat that they initiated and refused to back down from. They had to be stopped because they were destroying the city and harming the citizens.
Ofc the Chinese government won't let people celebrate citizen murdering, capitalist funded, armed rioters"
I'm pretty sure they'd say exactly that.
The ground them into paste with tank treads and washed their remains into the sewers. There's photos of that online...
It took so long to break the protest because they had to assemble forces from across China since locals were too sympathetic and wouldn't wantonly slaughter them if they refused to back down once confronted by the state. The state wasn't willing to risk that until it had a gun that fired when commanded.
"But tankman didn't get killed on video! Checkmate, shitlib!" /s
I remember
I'd love to hear cowbee bullshit spin this one.
37 hour hunger strike? With my budget that’s called a Wednesday.
Tankies won't respond. In celebration of a canon event, federal netizens were notified by Xi-Think-Link that they have been given the day off work.
Have you ever seen an interview with one of the “dead students”? No? Thought not…
