"Pro Tiananmen Square posts get removed off of Chinese social media? No shit. Imagine if the January 6th protestors had strung up and set a bunch of the National Guard on fire and you posted saying they didn't go far enough, most places on the web would remove your posts, except maybe Elon Musk's twitter."

Pros: Any libs wanting to engage would have to either read more about the events leading up to and during the Tiananmen Square protests or admit that January 6th was a nothing event

Cons: none

good place to post this comprehensive Mango Press article on the June 4 Incident:

"YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT TIANMMENENEENENENE SQUARE IN CHINA!"

Because no one knows what you're talking about bc it's the June 4 Incident and no one thinks it was a very big deal.

very-smart absence of the evidence is the strongest form of evidence.

wish I knew what happened to Mango Press, last activity on Twitter was a year ago and their website is busted due to an SSL error

EDIT: also the linked author's twitter account (GundanSlayer) appears to have been deleted
